Sinking Front Patio Gets Transformed in Rochester, MN

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, had been keeping an eye on a crack forming in her front patio leading up to her front door. She didn't want the crack to have a chance to worsen, so she began researching companies that could help fix the issue. She found our website and decided to take advantage of our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Will R, headed out to the home to see the crack for himself. 

After Will finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. He informed her that he believed the problem could be fixed with our PolyLevel solution. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into its desired location. He finished by saying that our installations are completed with our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete to ensure that no unwanted moisture can get through to the tender soil beneath. The homeowner agreed to the work, and the project was scheduled for later in the summer. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy, and his team made quick work of lifting and sealing the concrete. Now our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that the crack won't continue to grow!

Not wanting anyone to get hurt on the trip hazard, she decided to call American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate.

Sinking Deck Gets Piers in Rochester, MN

A Rochester, MN, homeowner had noticed his attached porch was showing signs of sinking over time. Not wanting to have to re-install the porch later down the road, the homeowner began to look for a company that could help. One day, the homeowner was at the Rochester Home & Lifestyles home show, when he met Brad W, one of our local Design Specialists. The two got to chatting about the issue, and the homeowner signed up for his FREE estimate on the spot. A few weeks later, Brad headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After a thorough inspection, Brad met with the homeowner to discuss next steps and his recommendations. Brad informed the homeowner that American Waterworks could effectively reverse the problem with the help of our helical piers. Brad explained that the helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues. In many scenarios, these piers will be able to lift your home back to level position by the completion of the installation. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan, and the work was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team installed 4 of our helical piers in no time. Now our customer can continue to enjoy his porch for years to come!

Uneven Business Entrance Gets Lifted in Rochester, MN

A Rochester, MN, business owner was growing concerned over his front walkway. It had been sinking over the years and was now beginning to form large cracks, resulting in large trip hazards. He didn't want anyone to take a tumble, so he began to look for local concrete repair companies. When he found our website, he signed up for our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home.

After Nate concluded his inspection appointment, he met with the business owner to deliver his recommendations. He informed the owner that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel. He explained that PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, and in the process, slowly lifts the slabs back to their original place. Nate went on to say that he wanted to preserve the newly lifted concrete with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete and is specifically designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions, meaning the vulnerable soil underneath the concrete is protected. The business owner agreed with Nate's recommendations and scheduled the project for several weeks later.
