Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, noticed stair-step cracking along the walls of their garage and was concerned for its stability. The homeowner decided to ask his family if they knew a good foundation repair company and he was recommended American Waterworks. After looking into our company, he grew impressed with our 5-star reviews and quickly contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to assess the garage walls. He noticed that the cracks covered half the wall and explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid due to the force of gravity. In this case, the soil that surrounds the garage would become saturated with water when it rains. Water then applies pressure on the wall, and when that pressure exceeds what the wall can withstand, it is common to see cracks along the walls. To permanently fix this issue, our Design Specialists created a proposal for the homeowner and recommended our GeoLock wall anchors. These can stabilize failing walls and can be tightened to straighten walls over time. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Jorge M., and his crew arrived at the home to install 10 GeoLocks. These are installed by digging a hole several feel away from the foundation. The earth anchor is then placed inside and attached to the interior wall. Both anchors would be connected by a small steel pole that would run through the ground. Once the crew installed everything, they filled the hole back up with dirt, cleaned up their equipment, and left the home.

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN, noticed their walkway was beginning to sink into the ground. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional solution. Uncertain about who to work with, the homeowner began looking into "poly concrete lifting near me'". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Daniel. Once he received arrived, Daniel began the thorough inspection of the concrete. During his inspection, Daniel discovered the concrete was sinking into the ground. To prevent the issue from worsening, Daniel recommended installing PolyLevel. After considering all their options, the homeowner knew it was their best plan of action. Next, Daniel passed the proposal off to our Logistics team to build the project. Once the project date was scheduled, it was assigned to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew. Patrick and his crew traveled to the home to begin the lift. First, Patrick and his crew started by installing PolyLevel underneath the sinking sidewalk. 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 all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew.

A homeowner in Apple Valley, MN was concerned when she noticed multiple concrete issues on her property such as the front walkway steps, which had begun sinking leaving an uneven platform with a high risk of tripping, and the garage floor was uneven and had formed a large crack along the middle. The homeowner quickly began searching for services in the area and found our website. After browsing, she was impressed with our job stories and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to inspect the walkway and garage flooring. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of sinking concrete is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity exceeds, it causes the soil to expand and contract beneath the concrete slab. Over time, this causes the slab to sink and heave. To address this issue, Mitch recommended our PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula that allows for accurate leveling of the slab, and NexusPro sealant to repair the cracks and seal the joints. The homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began lifting the garage floor and walkway using PolyLevel. These are installed by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs and installing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab and once it has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses our NexusPro to repair the cracks and seal the joints. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Pine Springs, MN, was concerned that her uneven driveway was a tripping hazard for her family and decided to look into concrete lifting services in the area. She found our website and was pleased to see that we offer FREE estimates. Soon after learning this information, she contacted us to claim hers. 

Our Design Specialist, Tony B., arrived at the home on the scheduled date to asses the driveway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of an uneven driveway is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, it causes the soil to expand and contract. As this happens, it leads to the concrete slab to sink with it. To fix this issue, Tony recommended our PolyLevel and NexusPro. He informed the homeowner that our PolyLevel is made of a high-density formula designed to lift heavy loads and our NexusPro can seal the cracks and joints providing a seamless look. The homeowner happily agreed to Tony's suggestion and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Ryan T., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slab. The injection ports are then installed and PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew ensures that it is leveled before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Saint Paul, MN, a homeowner had noticed that her sidewalk had begun sinking, and she was concerned it would cause a tripping hazard for her children. She decided to ask her friends and family if they knew a good concrete repair company that could fix the issue, and she was recommended American Waterworks.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Romeo V., arrived at the home to inspect the sidewalk. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of sinking concrete is soil washout. When it rains and water moves through the ground under the concrete slab, it can wash away the supporting soils holding up the concrete. As this continues, it creates empty spaces and voids and, over time, causes the concrete to sink or cave in. Romeo recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and our NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks. The homeowner was grateful for Romeo's explanation and decided to move forward with his design. Romeo's design was then sent to our Foreman, Dylon V.

In about a month, Dylon and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They first began lifting the concrete by drilling small holes into the slab. Then, our PolyLevel is injected and expands in the space between the soil and slab, lifting the concrete. Then, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro and concealed the small holes with concrete. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing her children can run around the sidewalk without any tripping hazards. Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE to claim your FREE estimate!

She decided to look into concrete leveling services in the area and came upon our website. She was impressed with our "Before and After" photos and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home and inspected the driveway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of an uneven driveway is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity exceeds, the soil compacts and settles. As the soil expands and contracts beneath the concrete, it causes the slab to sink and heave. Due to this, Gary explained that our PolyLevel, which is a high-density polyurethane formula that expands in the space between the soil and concrete, can level it out, and the cracks can be sealed using our NexusPro. The homeowner was grateful for Gary's explanation and decided to move forward with his design. Gary's design was then sent to our Foreman, Dylon M. 

In about a month, Dylon and his crew arrived for the installation. They lifted the concrete by drilling small holes in the slabs. Then, PolyLevel is injected and lifts the concrete as it expands. Once this is done, the holes are sealed with concrete. NexusPro is then placed around the joints and cracks. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, noticed water damage on her basement floor. She was concerned that her current sump pump was unable to keep up with water leakage in her basement. She wanted this issue fixed immediately and contacted us to claim her FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Canon T., to go over any questions the homeowner had and to inspect the basement. Once Canon inspected the area, he confirmed with the homeowner that her current sump pump had been getting clogged and that the discharge line was damaged, making it unable to fully get the water out, resulting in water damage to her flooring. Canon suggested our SuperPump+ and IceGuard. Our SuperPump+ includes a Cast-Iron Zoeller sump pump that is capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour! Perfect for keeping the homeowner's basement dry. The IceGuard is our discharge line system that allows water to escape in case the discharge pipes freeze or become blocked. The homeowner agreed to Canon's plans and was happy to schedule a date to get the installation started. Canon's design was then sent to our Foreman, Jeromy, A., and his crew. A month later, Jeromy and his crew arrived and they removed the homeowner's current sump pump and installed the SuperPump+. They also installed 47ft of the interior discharge line by jackhammering a path that connects the SuperPump+ to the IceGuard, which is installed outside of the home. After everything was installed, Jeromy's crew restored the flooring by covering it with concrete. The homeowner was impressed with the efficiency and effective work of Jeromy's crew.

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was facing a unique issue with his basement. His back stoop had settled over time and was now slopping towards the home, causing rainwater to leak into the basement. He had also noted several other leaky areas of the space that he wanted to have fixed. He took to the internet to search for 'basement wall leak repair near me', and quickly found our website. Impressed with similar jobs we had completed in the area, he signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Canon T, was headed out to the home. When Canon arrived, he was directed to the basement to begin his inspection. When he completed it, he met with the homeowner to discuss the next steps. Canon began by commending the homeowner for taking action, stating that water intrusion issues don't get better with time and can drag the value of a property down drastically if not properly dealt with. Canon went on to say that he wanted to address the water intrusion issue with several products. First, Canon recommended our WaterGuard, a unique French drainage system that gets installed below the floor of the basement atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it clear of the 'mud zone' where similar drains clog. It functions to provide water entering the space a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. When Canon was in the basement, he noticed that the basement lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an affordable yet efficient way to remove unwanted water from a basement. The homeowner agreed with Canon's recommendations, and the work was scheduled for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team arrived early at the home. They began the process by jackhammering away at the perimeter of the basement, digging a trench for the WaterGuard. When the trench had been dug, the team laid the drainage stone down and then placed the WaterGuard on top. Finally, they sealed it off with a fresh layer of concrete to hold the system in place. Finally, the sump pump was placed and covered in cement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that rainwater intrusion is a worry of the past! 

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN, grew distressed after discovering their basement was flooding. Knowing they needed professional assistance as soon as possible, the homeowner looked for the best waterproofing company near them. While looking through several companies, the homeowner came across our social media. Impressed by our previous projects and team culture, the homeowners knew we were the best company for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nick. Nick arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner. Next, Nick began his detailed inspection of the basement. Nick found that the entire basement required waterproofing and the sump pump needed to be replaced. After he completed the walk-through, Nick proposed his solution to the homeowners to which they agreed. Once they agreed upon a solution, the plans were directed to the office, then to our Foreman, Jose. After Jose and his crew received the plans, they traveled to the home to begin the project. Once they arrived, the crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard 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 can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe Sump Pump to the new WaterGuard. Once the TripleSafe Sump Pump was properly connected, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with our crew's work ethic and excellent work.

In Eagan, MN a homeowner was in her basement space when she discovered a small puddle of water on the floor. She became concerned and was worried about further damage happening if nothing was done. Rather than do a ton of research on companies that specialized in basement waterproofing, she called the company that her neighbor had success with when their basement had water damage. We informed her that we were able to help and set her up with a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our Design Specialists, Adam Voigt. When Adam arrived at the home, he discovered the homeowner's current sump pump wasn't able to keep up with the amount of water that was entering through the foundation. He recommended a new pump be installed to prevent any more water coming through and damaging the space. The homeowner happily agreed with the plans and for the project to move forward. We sent over one of our Foremen, Chris Newton, and his crew for the installation of a SuperSump Plus pump system. Chris discovered that the new pump was too big for the area that the current pump was located and explained his idea to the homeowner to move the location over for the best results. The homeowner was pleased that he brought it up to her and approved of the idea. The crew then dug up the new space for the pump, inserted the sump pump pit, and placed the SuperSump Plus inside. To finish off the project, the crew laid clean gravel and new concrete around the pump to keep out dirt and debris. Thanks to our team members, the homeowner now has an effective pump system to keep her basement water-free.

This way the jack has solid ground to be attached to. Then, the team inserted the jack and tightened it, and repeated the process with 14 SmartJack's through the space. Finally, the crew covered the base of each SmartJack in cement to further stabilize them and ensure no movement would happen.

Douglas P. in Saint Paul, MN had a crack in his foundation where water was leaking in. Any time he experienced a heavy rain, water would start to pool in his basement with no where to go. He started looking for a waterproofing company, and he found American Waterworks on Home Advisor.

He got in touch with us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution.
