American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, was experiencing a sunken concrete driveway and knew the bumps and cracks would only continue to worsen if left untreated. The homeowner began looking for concrete lifting and leveling contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and growing impressed by our concrete before and after transformations, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Nate B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Nate explained to the homeowner that soil compaction is one of the most common causes of sinking concrete slabs. When the soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, in this case, as cars drive over the driveway, it causes the soil to compact and settle. To fix this issue, Nate recommended PolyLevel, our foam-expanding formula that accurately lifts sunken slabs within seconds, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that repairs cracks and seals joints. The homeowner happily agreed to Nate's recommendation and scheduled the installation date.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. PolyLevel is installed by first drilling small 3/8" holes into the concrete slabs. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, filling in the voids in the soil. Once the slabs have been lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew used NexusPro to repair the cracks and seal the joints between the garage and driveway.

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, had noticed that their concrete walkway had begun sinking on one side, causing it to become uneven. Knowing it impacted the curb appeal of the home, the homeowner began looking into concrete lifting services in the area. The homeowner found us and, after becoming impressed by our concrete before and after transformations, contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Brad W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Brad explained to the homeowner that soil washout is one of the most common causes of settling concrete slabs. Soil washout is the process by which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slabs upright. To fix this issue, Brad recommended our waterproofing foam expanding formula, PolyLevel, to lift the slabs. The homeowner happily agreed to Brad's recommendation, and the installation date was scheduled

In about a month, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling small holes into the slabs. PolyLevel is then injected beneath, filling in the voids in the soil and causing the slabs to lift. Once it has been lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes with cement. Lastly, after every had been installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, knew it was time to repair their sinking front steps. After taking a closer look, the homewoner hoped there was a way to save the sinking steps. The homeowner looked into "concrete lifting services near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that 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, Ryan. A few weeks later, Ryan promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the exterior concrete. During the inspection, Ryan found several areas that were suffering from settlement. To prevent the settlement from worsening, Ryan recommended installing PolyLevel, a polyurthane foam injection solution, below the struggling sidewalk. The homeowner agreed and worked with Ryan to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Dylon and his crew began by inserting PolyLevel below the struggling sidewalk. Once the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew shifted to inserting NexusPro in the cracks and joints. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customers' damaged concrete. 

Lois S. in Glencoe, MN had two bowing walls in her basement and she was concerned about the damage it was causing to her foundation. She saw an advertisement for American Waterworks in her local newspaper and saw that we have many years of experience repairing foundations. She decided to give us a call to set up a FREE estimate.

Chad developed a thorough plan that included our Geo-Lock wall anchor system to permanently repair her foundation. Lois liked the proposal that Chad put together, so she decided to move forward with the installation.

The installation process took about two days, but Lois will reap the benefits our foundation repair system for many years to come since it is guaranteed for a lifetime.

Pat M. in Glencoe, MN had some sinking and cracked concrete throughout her driveway and patio. She was looking into concrete repair options when she came across the American Waterworks website. She was interested in our PolyLevel concrete repair option and contacted us for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Reed Hudson, to meet with Pat and propose a solution.

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, and Co-Foreman Tyler Brockway, drilled small holes into the concrete and injected the polymer foam which expands and hardens under the concrete, causing the concrete to raise. They repeated this process numerous times until the driveway and walkways were raised back to their original position. Next, they filled the holes with fresh concrete, sealed the cracks with our Nexus Pro sealant, and cleaned up the work area. Pat was pleased with the results and is glad she can now enjoy a safe driveway and patio for years to come!
