Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor in Harwood, ND

After a particularly heavy rainfall, a homeowner from Gardner, ND, noticed water pooling on her concrete. Anxious about the effects of winter, the homeowner searched for a solution. After seeing many positive reviews on HomeAdvisor, the homeowners decided to sign up for a FREE with American Waterworks. We sent out a Design Specialist, Kole, to draft a possible solution for the homeowner. Kole discovered that the sidewalk was settling and needed to be lifted. Additionally, Kole suggested filling all the cracks to prevent water leaking. The homeowners agreed and the crew was sent to begin. The crew started by utilizing the PolyLevel to lift the sidewalk and garage apron. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection used to restore the safety and appearance of concrete. Next, the crew used NexusPro to fill all the cracks throughout the garage apron and sidewalk. The NexusPro Solution is a silicon-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. The crew successfully lifted and leveled the concrete and filled all the cracks throughout. The homeowners were relieved that their sidewalk was fixed and was safe to walk on during the winter. 

Eileen, a homeowner in Gardner, ND, was feeling frustrated with the state of her home's front sidewalk. Because of the concrete settling and sinking, she was experiencing trip hazards and water pooling problems. Her main concern was how water would pool and then freeze in the winter, creating a dangerous icy slab at her home's entrance. After looking around, she called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate!

Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to take a look, created a recommendation proposal for Eileen, and answered any questions she had so she was confident in the plan.

We got to work lifting and leveling her entire sidewalk, as well as sealing all joints and cracks. Our Foreman, went out with his crew and installed our PolyLevel lifting and leveling solutions. The crew started by installing injection ports over the gaps to guide the PolyLevel underneath the concrete. Then, our team injected the PolyLevel through the holes to get underneath the slab and fill the voids to raise and level the slab surface. Once that portion of the project was completed, our crew applied our NexusPro over the cracks to prevent moisture from seeping underneath and to give the concrete a neat, polished appearance. To complete the installation, our crew provided Eileen with a thorough walkthrough of what they did and ensured her expectations were met. If you are having similar issues to Eileen, reach out for your FREE estimate!

A male homeowner of Harwood, ND had a settling foundation and water seeping through the cracks of his foundation wall, causing him to worry about foundation failure and water damage. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a no-obligation, FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected his settling foundation, and determined a solution that would restore his peace of mind. The homeowner was confident in the homeowner's proposal, so he went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team began the project by excavating the soil around the foundation, forming a large trench. In the trench, our team installed our helical and push pier systems, both of which are designed to stabilize and straighten settling foundations by lifting the home to its regular position. Next, our team installed our SentrySeal around the exterior foundation wall perimeter, which is designed to keep water from invading the wall. Then, our team installed our SilverGlo Wall Panels over the SentrySeal, which is made to keep comfort and energy savings to the home. Lastly, Ryan and his crew installed drain tile around the foundation perimeter, which is designed to ensure the water is flowing smoothly. To complete the project, our crew backfilled the trench and ensured the soil was compacted.
