Cambridge, MN's Dedicated Radon Mitigation & Wet Basement Repair Experts

A homeowner in Cambridge, MN was worried their front stairs were becoming a tripping hazard. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to solve the issue. After completing a quick search on "fix raised sidewalk", the homeowner came across our previous case studies on concrete repair. The homeowner read our recent concrete repair projects and knew we were the company for them. After they signed up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Gary, one of our Design Specialists. Gary arrived at the home and started his inspection of the sidewalk. Once he was complete, Gary discovered the sidewalk was sinking due to soil settlement. To stop the soil from sinking future, Gary recommended lifting and leveling the sidewalk and repairing the damaged joints. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Gary's recommendations. The plans were sent to the office for approval, and then to our Foreman, Sam. Sam and his crew made their way to the home to begin the project. When they arrived, the crew inserted the PolyLevel underneath the sinking concrete. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. The crew swiftly cleaned up their materials and put the lawn back together. The homeowner was relieved to know their tripping hazard was eliminated. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Ken from Cambridge, MN, wanted to make improvements to his home starting with his crawlspace. Ken noticed that the crawlspace located at the bottom of his home was constantly damped and humid. Since Ken had a wood foundation support beam, this raised concerns since the constant moisture may cause the wood to become lose its memory and start to bow and potentially fail over time. Ken contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and claimed his FREE estimate, entitling him to a free home inspection by one of our Design Specialists.  Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist attended to his property and began a thorough home inspection to provide the proper diagnosis and solution to help Ken. Our Design Specialist proposed to Ken our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a durable bright white space liner that is installed along the floor and the walls of the crawlspace. This durable liner helps prevent humidity and water vapor from passing through. This liner also prevents mildew and mold growth and allows the crawlspace to be fresh and clean.
