Rockford's Expert Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

After noticing their walkways were becoming significantly uneven, a landlord in Rockford, IA, knew they needed help. Hoping to avoid total concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into concrete lifting and leveling services near Rockford, IA. Unsure who to work with, the landlord asked people around their community for any recommendations. Several individuals recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our company. After seeing our impressive reviews and photos, the homeowner knew we were the best company for them. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Romeo, to the home to begin the project. Once Romeo arrived, he started his detailed inspection of the concrete around the apartments. Romeo found that several walkways were sinking and cracked. After he completed his inspection, he shared his findings with the homeowner. Additionally, Romeo was able to come up with a solution for the apartment. The landlord agreed with Romeo's proposal, so these plans were sent to our office to begin the project. Once the office approved the plans, they scheduled the project and assigned it to our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew. Dylon and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, Dylon and his crew installed PolyLevel underneath the struggling walkway slabs. 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. Once the project was complete, Dylon and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew.
