Your Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling Expert in White Bear Lake, MN

A homeowner in White Bear Lake, MN, noticed standing water along the floors of her basement and knew something was wrong with her basement waterproofing system. She decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate as we had installed one of our sump pumps in her basement 10 years ago.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. He tested the sump pump, and it was working properly, so Daniel concluded that the footing drain must have failed. The footing drain typically fails when soil or debris clogs the drain system, causing water to enter through the joint between the footing and the wall, through cracks on the walls, or under the footing. For this reason, Daniel recommended installing our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the rooms where the issue was. Our WaterGuard is our below-the-floor perimeter drain system that is designed not to clog, unlike traditional drain systems. After the homeowner reviewed Daniel's proposal, she happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 46ft of WaterGuard, and these are installed by jackhammering the perimeter of the basement and setting down rocks. The WaterGuard would then rest on top and is backfilled with more clean rocks. The crew then ensures the WaterGuard is connected to the sump pump before restoring the flooring by pouring concrete. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in White Bear Lake, MN, noticed their front step was sunken significantly. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner wanted to find answers. Hoping to avoid concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into "poly concrete lifting near me". One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Gary, to the home to take a closer look. Gary promptly arrived at the home and thoroughly inspected the concrete. Gary determined the sidewalk was sinking due to settlement. To prevent the settlement from continuing, Gary recommended installing PolyLevel underneath the struggling concrete. Since it avoided concrete replacement, the homeowner knew we were this was their best plan of action. Next, Gary passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team approved the plans and scheduled the project for a few weeks later. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Troy, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. Troy and his crew promptly arrived at the home and began the lift. First, Troy and his crew used PolyLevel to lift the concrete back into place. 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 products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

A homeowner in Gem Lake, MN, noticed that his driveway apron was uneven and was worried it would lower the resale value of his home. He decided to search for concrete lifting services in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, he was impressed with our 5-star reviews. Confident we would do the job correctly and efficiently, he contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a month, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to inspect the driveway and garage. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of an uneven driveway is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves beneath the concrete slabs and washes out the supporting soils. As this continues, it leads to voids in the soil and causes the slab to sink. For this reason, Gary recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete slabs and NexusPro to seal the joints of the garage apron. The homeowner happily agreed to Gary's recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. He began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs and installing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab. Once the concrete slabs have been lifted, the crew ensures it is leveled before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the joints. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
