Cologne, MN's Leading Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor

A homeowner in Cologne, MN was done dealing with his uneven concrete apron. The slabs had sunk so much over the years that it had created an annoying bump that his car hit every time he drove in and out of the garage. He decided it was time to find a solution, so he went online and searched for concrete repair products. The American Waterworks company website showed up and he started to look into what we offered. Our company stood out to him because compared to other traditional methods of repairing or replacing concrete, we used PolyLevel solution. He called our appointment office and found a time for an expert to come out to the home and give a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Tony Bach, headed out to the home to inspect the concrete apron and give his recommendations for repairs. Tony agreed with the homeowner that our powerful PolyLevel product would be perfect to lift and level the slabs back up to the garage floor's height. The homeowner was relieved to hear of a set plan and agreed for them to move forward. On the installation day, our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew went to the site and began by drilling small holes in the concrete. Then, they placed ports in the holes until they reached the empty space below the surface. The PolyLevel foam was injected in the ports to fill in the space and lift the slabs. Next, the crew filled the holes and joints between the garage floor and apron with NexusPro to smooth out the area. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and happy to be rid of the bump once and for all.

A homeowner in Cologne, MN, discovered their basement had wet spots scattered throughout. Concerned for the upcoming spring, the homeowner wanted to find a lasting solution. Seeing the excellent work we have completed in their area, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. After signing for their FREE estimate, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Design Specialist, Eric. After Eric arrived, he completed a thorough inspection of the basement. Eric recommended to the homeowners that they waterproof their entire basement to prevent any further water intrusion. The homeowners agreed, but they asked if only the required sections of their basement be waterproofed. Eric sent the plans to the assigned crew and the waterproofing installation began. Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew arrived and began by installing the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard system is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew places the WaterGuard in those channels. Next, the crew will cover the WaterGuard with dirt and concrete so the floor will even out again. Finally, the crew smooths out the foundation to give the floor a finished look. Once the WaterGuard was put into place, a feedline was dug and placed. Then, the crew moved on to installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is our most reliable sump pump that provides three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. An IceGuard is installed to prevent clogged and frozen discharge lines. Sitting outside your home, the IceGuard is an anti-freeze fitting that ejects water away from your foundation. The crew completed the job and the homeowners were happy with their excellent work. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

When concrete sinks or cracks, it can cause problems such as dangerous tripping hazards, uneven concrete surfaces, and pooling water. Bad concrete also affects curb appeal, which reduces the value of the home. The good news is that concrete issues can be fixed without having to replace the slab with a new one.

Karen K. of Cologne, MN was having similar issues on her concrete front walkway. She reached out to American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully inspected her concrete, and determined a solution that worked for her and her concrete repair needs. Karen was confident in our proposal, so went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew member injected 95 pounds of our PolyLevel underneath the concrete, which is made to stabilize and raise the concrete surface. It fills the voids underneath the concrete and eliminates tripping hazards. Next, our team applied our NexusPro over the concrete cracks, which is designed to prevent moisture from seeping underneath the concrete and make the concrete look new and fresh. The project was completed in one day and Karen had a great experience from start to finish!
