Your Local Mound, MN Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Experts

A homeowner from Mounds, MN, was in the initial stages of putting his home up for sale. Before the house could be listed, he had a list of updates that had to be made to ensure that the home would be sold for its true value. One of the first jobs was correcting the homes driveway that had been cracking and sinking for a few years. The homeowner took to the internet to search for cracked concrete repair in Minnesota and quickly found our website. He perused through our before and after pictures and was impressed with our work. He scheduled his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home. 

Nate got right to work assessing the concrete. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner and informed him that the concrete could be remedied with the help of our PolyLevel injection. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands as it's injected beneath sunken concrete slabs. As the foam expands, it slowly fills voids left by soil erosion, lifting the sunken slab back to its desired location in the process. Nate went on to say that he recommended safeguarding the lift with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets installed to the cracks and joints in the concrete and serves as a barrier as it's specially formulated to stand up against harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the sound of Nate's plan and decided to schedule the project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dylon V, got started by verifying the measurements in the areas planned to be lifted. Next, his Co-Foreman drilled holes into the sunken concrete. Then, they inserted the PolyLevel through the holes, closely monitoring the lift to ensure the slab returned to the proper position. When they finished the lift, they began sealing off the joints. When the job had been completed, our customer was thrilled to know that his driveway was restored and his home was one step closer to being sold! 

A homeowner in Mound, MN, knew they could no longer push off their foundation repair needs. Having a hunch this would be a larger job, the homeowner knew they wanted the best foundation repair company in their area. Overwhelmed by all the options, the homeowner decided to go to HomeAdvisor to compare all the options near them. One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. After further research into our company, the homeowner was impressed by the services we provide and the high quality of work we complete. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, we sent Nick, one of our Design Specialists, to complete the inspection. Nick arrived and began the detailed inspection of the foundation. After he completed the inspection, Nick determined that the foundation required permanent stabilization, and the concrete needed to be lifted and leveled. Nick suggested a solution that would solve all the structural and floor issues. The homeowners considered their options and decided to go with the suggested plan. Once the plans were approved, they were sent to the assigned crew, and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew began production by installing three GeoLocks, an innovative wall anchor system, on the northwest wall. The GeoLock anchors permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring to your interior walls to the hard-pack untouched soil beyond your foundation. First, the crew excavates a small section of the lawn to place the first GeoLock anchor. Then, the crew directs a small steel pole through the soil to connect to the interior wall anchor. Once the anchors are connected, the crew can put the removed lawn back into place. After the GeoLock installation, the crew shifts their focus to the concrete issues. The crew focused on lifting and leveling the concrete with the PolyLeve, a polyurethane foam injection serum. To install the PolyLevel, the crew strategically drills small holes throughout the concrete. Next, injection ports are installed in those small holes. Then, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill the voids and raise the slab. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel install was completed, the crew moved on to filling the various cracks and joints in the concrete. To fill those joints and cracks, the crew used the NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and can stand up to harsh weather conditions. The crew installs the NexusPro Sealant by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the crack with a non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the crack or control joint. The crew completed all the repairs. The homeowners were grateful for the wonderful work completed by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Erik B. in Mound, MN had water seeping into his unfinished basement. Every time they experienced a heavy rain, water would start to pool in their basement. He contacted the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and develop a solution. Chad worked with Erik to create a waterproofing plan that was the best fit for his unique basement. Erik liked Chad’s proposal, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement and our SuperSump sump pump system. The WaterGuard guides water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and it is expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Erik is confident that he chose the right solution to protect his basement for the long-term.

Ruth O. in Mound, MN was suffering from water leaking in to her basement. She had been dealing with the problem for quite some time now and was tired of dealing with it. After researching local waterproofing company’s, she got in touch with the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution and a free estimate. Chad worked with Ruth to develop the right waterproofing plan for her and her home. She liked the proposal that Chad developed, so she scheduled a date for our production team to install the waterproofing system.  

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the stairs, where the water was leaking in. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and a discharge line to the outside of the home. The water is now properly guided through the drainage system to the sump pump. Then, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and the water is expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ruth now has peace of mind that her basement will remain dry and that she chose the right solution.
