The Contractor of Choice for Stacy, MN's Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repairs

A homeowner from Stacy, MN, was having more and more difficulty navigating the uneven concrete in front of his home. Not wanting to continue dealing with the issue, he decided to give American Waterworks a call to see what his options were. When he called in we set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Daniel, was scheduled to visit the home. 

On the day of the inspection, Daniel took his time to thoroughly inspect the concrete slabs to see how far they had sunken. Once he completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that concrete sinking is all too common and can happen for various reasons, but can be rectified with a simple solution: PolyLevel. Our PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected underneath concrete slabs. It's the most modern, effective, and non-invasive solution to sinking concrete. Daniel finished by saying that when the lift is complete, he'd like our team to seal the cracks and joints of the slab with our NexusPro solution, a silicone-based sealant designed specifically for the cracks and joints in concrete to protect the soil below from the elements, which in turn prevents further settlement. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Sam, headed out to the property and began the process by verifying the measurements Daniel had left behind. Next, he got to work drilling holes into the sunken slab. Then, he inserted the PolyLevel through the pre-drilled holes, carefully monitoring the lifting process to ensure the slab returned to its desired location. When the lift had been completed, Sam slowly installed the NexusPro along the joints of the concrete. Once the project was completed the homeowner was thrilled to know that his concrete was safe for use!

A homeowner in Stacy, MN, worried that their uneven sidewalk was going to become a tripping hazard. Knowing this was a larger project, the homeowner wanted to have a professional inspect the property. After doing some research, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner waited for the arrival of one of our Design Specialist, Kyle. After Kyle arrived, he began his detailed analysis of the sidewalk. Kyle found that the sidewalk was sinking due to settlement and needed to be lifted. Once he drafted up his solution, he presented it to the homeowner. The homeowner agreed with Kyle’s proposal, so the plans were sent to the office for approval. Once they were approved, the plans were directed to our Foreman, Sam. Once Sam and his crew received the plans, they made their way to the home and started the project. First Sam and the crew lifted the sidewalk with our PolyLevel. 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. After the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their items and left the home. The homeowner was thankful to know their sidewalk was properly lifted and leveled. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!  

A homeowner in Stacy, MN, found a gap between their sidewalk and stairs in front of their home. Wanting to prevent the issue from worsening, the homeowner sought out professional assistance. During their research, the homeowner stumbled across American Waterworks and was impressed by our past concrete work. The homeowner reached out to our Appointment Center and signed up for the FREE estimate.  Once the estimate was set, we sent our Design Specialist, Romeo, to provide the homeowners with some answers. After Romeo completed the detailed evaluation of the sidewalk, he provided the homeowners with a few solutions. After comparing all their options, the homeowners chose one of Romeo's solutions and production commenced. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew were assigned to complete the task. First, the crew focused on lifting the sunken sidewalk and back patio. To lift these areas, the crew decided to utilize the PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. To begin installation, the crew strategically drills small 5/8" holes into the concrete slab. Then, injection ports are installed in these holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel was installed, the crew shifted their focus to the NexusPro Joint Sealant installation. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks that is specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions.
