Quality Waterproofing, Concrete Lifting & Foundation Repair in Scott County, MN

A homeowner in Prior Lake, MN called American Waterworks for a free estimate after she realized that her patio had dramatically sunken with the change of the season. Our Design Specialist, Kevin McWithey, developed a plan to restore her patio using our PolyLevel foam injection. PolyLevel is a faster, durable, and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. Shortly after she received her estimate, we sent one of our PolyLevel experts to her home to install the foam injection. Compared to mud jacking, PolyLevel is a non-invasive solution that restores the concrete quickly. Once the foam cures, which typically takes about 30 minutes, the concrete is ready to be used again. The homeowner has peace of mind that she chose the right solution and that her patio is leveled and restored. 

Carol B. in Shakopee, MN was tired of dealing with a sunken stoop that had become a trip hazard. She decided it was time to find a concrete repair contractor to help solve her problem. While researching, she came across American Waterworks. She was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel foam injection solution, so she gave us a call and we sent a Design Specialist to her home to give her a free estimate. She was pleased to find out that the process would be quick and non-invasive, so she set a date for the installation. 

Our PolyLevel experts drilled small holes into the concrete to inject the foam. Once injected, the foam only takes 30 minutes to cure, so Carol was able to see the results almost right away. She was glad she found a more efficient and affordable concrete repair solution through American Waterworks, and she no longer has to deal with the trip hazard. 

Carol B. in Savage, MN realized that water had started seeping through her walls and was creating an unhealthy space. It had soaked through some of her insulation and had started to pool on the floor. She started to search for a waterproofing contractor, and she found American Waterworks on Home Advisor.

She called us and set an appointment for us to give her a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, thoroughly inspected her basement and created a solution for her. She was eager to get started because she wanted it to be a clean, healthy and livable space again. 

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system that connects to our SuperSump sump pump which then discharges water from the home. We also installed our CleanSpace wall system around the perimeter to ensure that if any water is coming through the walls, it will be guided to the drainage system. Our waterproofing system is guaranteed for a lifetime, so Carol can rest easy knowing she invested in the long-term protection of her home.

Chris in New Prague, MN had a dirt crawl space and he was interested in having a vapor barrier installed to save costs on his energy because he knew that he was losing heat through that space. He also was tired of the musty smell that was coming from his crawl space so, he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, went onsite to inspect his crawl space and create a solution. Dylan developed a thorough solution to solve Chris’ crawl space problems. Chris was pleased with the proposal, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, Foamax walls and our spray foam rim joist insulation. Our drainage matting gives the moisture in the crawl space a channel to move through, while the CleanSpace and Foamax create a barrier that keeps moisture out and heat in. They sprayed the foam insulation on the rim joists to seal it off completely from the outside and make the space even more energy efficient. The combination of these crawl space encapsulation products made Chris’ crawl space a dry, clean, and energy efficient space.

Marvin D. in Belle Plaine, MN had water leaking into his basement. He already had a sump pump that was working well, but the water in his basement had no way to drain to the sump pump. While looking for waterproofing contractors in the phone book, he saw American Waterworks and decided to give us a call for a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to his home to inspect his situation and design the right waterproofing solution for his basement. Mac recommended that we install our WaterGuard drainage system so that the water has a way to reach the sump pump. Marvin like Mac’s plan so, he moved forward with the installation.

Our production team removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor, laid the WaterGuard and connected it to the sump pump. They filled back the gaps in the concrete with rock and then replaced the concrete. The WaterGuard now properly guides water into the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Marvin is pleased that he chose to protect his most valuable asset by installing our waterproofing system.

Lori from Prior Lake, MN, noticed that the concrete slabs that created a walkway to the footsteps of her door were sinking and raised awareness of potential tripping hazards. Lori was afraid if she did not attend to the issue in a matter of time there would be more damage to her walkway. Lori contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate which entitles her to a free house inspection by our Design Specialist, Jarrett Kroneman. Once Jarrett arrived on the property, Jarrett conducted a thorough house inspection to properly diagnose the issue and propose a solution that will help solve the issues Lori is experiencing. Jarrett recommended Lori invest in our PolyLevel injection which allows us to lift the concrete, and finish off sealing the cracks and joints with our NexusPro solution. Our PolyLevel injection is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected through the concrete to fill the voids that were left underneath the concrete by soil erosion. The PolyLevel injection allows the concrete slab to be leveled and stabilized, preventing the concrete slab from being further damaged. Our NexusPro solution is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks that is formulated for long-lasting use and to survive harsh weather conditions. Unlike other sealants, the NexusPro resists UV rays, meaning the sealant would not dry out, crack, or bubble. 

Our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew began the process by strategically drilling holes into the slabs of concrete that were experiencing the issue. Once the holes were drilled the team then began to inject the PolyLevel solution raising the slab to its original position. Once leveled, the crew then finished the project by applying the NexusPro solution to the joints and each crack to ensure that no water could seep through affecting the PolyLevel foam. 

Once the project was complete Lori was very happy to see her walkway nice and leveled!!

A homeowner in Belle Plaine, MN was worried about the structural integrity of his home after he noticed small cracks that had formed in one of the bedroom drywalls. He decided to ignore it for the time being but later also noticed a large bump that had formed underneath the carpet in the same room. He removed the carpet to see what was under and was shocked to find a large crack in the floor. He knew this wasn't a good sign and decided that action needed to be taken right away. Going online to find a solution, he searched "foundation expert near me" and the American Waterworks company website popped up. The homeowner decided to schedule one of our FREE estimates and was later greeted by Design Specialist Derek Vickstrom. Derek informed the homeowner that although the crack had caused a large amount of damage, we could still do something to help. The homeowner was glad to hear this and wanted to move forward with plans for product installations. Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew arrived at the site and began the process by digging out the soil surrounding the unstable foundation. Then, they mechanically screwed one of our foundation pier products, HelicalPiers, mechanically until they reached stable soil. Next, the crew installed steel foundation brackets to connect the piers to the home's footing. With this process, the weight of the home was transferred from the original unstable soil through the piers to the stable soil. The homeowner was thrilled to have the crack fixed and to know his home's foundation was saved.

A homeowner in Savage, MN was concerned about the front of her garage floor when she noticed a part of it had cracked and created a bump in the concrete. She didn't want the problem to get worse or become a tripping hazard for her or her family, so she decided to find a solution sooner than later. Online she looked up "concrete repair mn" and hoped to find a company that worked on concrete garage floors. Sure enough, she found the American Waterworks website and after seeing our before and after photos from past jobs, decided to sign up for one of our FREE no-obligation estimates. We received her request and sent over our Design Specialist, Aidan Holland, to the home to inspect the garage floor and come up with his recommendations for the space. Aidan explained that we had just the solution for the cracked concrete and to stabilize the whole garage floor to ensure no cracks happened again. The homeowner agreed and was excited to move forward with the project. Later our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew went to the site and began the project by drilling small holes throughout the slabs. They inserted ports through the holes to reach the empty space below the surface and injected our PolyLevel foam inside until it was carefully lifted back to its original height. Then, the crew filled the holes in with our NexusPro sealant and also smoothed out the joints in between the slabs and the large crack. Native sand was then sprinkled on top of the sealant for a pleasing final look to the driveway. The result was a leveled and sealed driveway and a very happy homeowner.
