American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Elko New Market, MN, got in touch with us when he decided to address his sinking concrete walkway. His walkway had been slowly sinking over the years and was now almost completely detached from the front stoop. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to begin the search for a company that could assist in the repairs. Once he came across our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, headed out to the home. 

Once Brad finished his walkthrough, he met with homeowners to give them his plan of action. Brad began by saying that American Waterworks could address the sinking concrete by installing our PolyLevel lifting solution. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting concrete back into place. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan and scheduled the work to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Pat B, was able to complete the lift and seal with no issues. Now, our homeowner can enjoy their front walkway, knowing that the sinking has been addressed!

Gina W. in Elko New Market, MN was unhappy with her cracked and uneven driveway. She wanted it completely level and to have the cracks sealed. After researching concrete repair contractors and receiving estimates, she was pleased to learn that our PolyLevel foam injection is an effective, quick and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair, and she moved forward with the project.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes in the concrete slabs and then injected the polymer foam to raise the slabs to be even with the garage floor. Once the concrete was raised, the crew replaced the concrete in the holes and filled the cracks with our NexusPro sealant which protects the concrete and gives it a nice, finished look. The process took a couple of hours and now Gina can enjoy safe and beautiful concrete for years to come!

Gina W. of Elko New Market, MN had a sinking patio, and she wanted to get it lifted and repaired rather than broken out and replaced. She found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor and requested a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Gina's house, inspected her sunken patio, and proposed our PolyLevel and NexusPro. Gina was confident in the products and their features, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew injected 300 pounds of our PolyLevel to raise the patio and have it leveled with the home. Our crew then applied 42 feet of our NexusPro over the cracks to give the concrete and clean, polished finish. Both of these concrete systems are two of our most common methods of concrete repair.

Paul G. in Long Lake, MN had water leaking into the basement of his business. He was concerned that the air quality was being compromised and he did not want his customers to be affected by that. He was also concerned that his materials would get ruined since he used that space as storage. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our waterproofing system and to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his business to inspect the basement and design the right solution for his specific waterproofing needs. Paul was impressed with Chad’s thorough plan, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and installed the SuperSump sump pump. They filled back the gaps with rock and then replaced the concrete. Lastly, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the basement from moisture and potential mold growth. Water now properly flows through the drainage system to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Paul is glad he made the investment to protect his business for the long haul.

A customer from Long Lake, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice unwanted water entering the basement of their property and bowing walls. They had hopes of turning their basement into a live-able space and didn't want to have to worry about water damage. When they called in, they used their FREE estimate and had our Design Specialist, Eric, out to the property to assess the situation. When he completed his walkthrough he was able to make his recommendations. To address the water intrusion, Eric recommended two of our products that would work hand in hand. First, he wanted to drape the walls in our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a plastic tarp-like material that gets tacked to the wall, catching any water entering through cracks and porous holes. As the water drains down the plastic barrier, it deposits into Eric's second recommendation, our WaterGuard french drainage system. This discreet drainage option sits below the concrete floor of the basement, collecting the water draining down the wall caught by the CleanSpace. It then works to funnel it to an external source. To address the foundation of the home, Eric recommended the use of our PowerBrace and GeoLock Anchors to address the bowing walls. He explained that the PowerBrace work to permanently stabilize the wall in its place, while the GeoLock anchors stabilize the wall by anchoring it to the virgin-packed soil beyond the foundation. Finally, to make it a live-able space, he recommended the use of our Egress window, which improves the energy efficiency of the space, while providing it with an up-to-code route for exit in case of emergency. 

Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that their basement had been transformed and that they could continue with their renovations!
