Pool Deck Gets New Look in Burnsville, MN

A homeowner in Burnsville, MN was prepping his backyard pool area for the upcoming summer months when he realized just how worn down the sealant on his pool deck was. It had faded over time and formed small cracks and holes, easily allowing water splashed from the pool or rain to enter and damage his concrete. He decided to make a change and get the pool deck back to pristine condition. During his search of companies in the area that work with concrete sealing, he found the American Waterworks website. He signed up for a FREE estimate with us and we sent over one of our Design Specialists, Kyle Peters. Kyle explained that we had the perfect product that would eliminate the homeowner's concerns and get the pool deck in shape for summer: NexusPro. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was eager for the project to be complete. When Foreman Reese Rinken and his crew arrived at the site, they installed the durable, silicone-based sealant carefully in the joints. The pool deck was ready to be in use again and the homeowner was pleased with the outcome of our crew's work.

Walkway Lifted and Leveled in Burnsville, MN

A homeowner in Burnsville, MN, had noticed that her sidewalk had been uneven and was beginning to sink in some parts. She wanted to tackle the issue right away before it could worsen and decided to search for "Concrete leveling repair near me" and came upon our website. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our 5-star reviews as well as our "Before and After" photos, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home in a couple of weeks and immediately inspected the issue. He explained to the homeowner that it is common to see sinking concrete due to soil washout. When it heavily rains or floods, the water moves through the ground underneath the concrete slab. The water then washes away the supporting soils that are holding the concrete up. He informed the homeowner that this issue could be fixed using our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks. Our PolyLevel is our most effective and long-lasting solution to lifting concrete as it is made of a high-density polyurethane formula that will expand in the voids and spaces underneath the concrete slab. Additionally, our NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant with long-lasting durability that is able to withstand harsh weather conditions. The homeowner was pleased with Mitch's suggestion and decided to move forward with his plans. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lift the concrete by first drilling small holes into the slab. Injection ports are then installed, and the PolyLevel is injected beneath the concrete. Once the concrete slabs have been lifted and leveled out, the holes are sealed with concrete. Once they were done installing the PolyLevel, they began using NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks. After everything had been completed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing her sidewalk has been leveled out. Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE to claim your FREE estimate!

She decided that it was time to address the issue and began searching for concrete lifting services in the area and found our website.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to inspect the walkway and to answer any questions the homeowner had.

After reviewing Kyle's proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Jordan S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by lifting the slabs drilling small holes into them and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, expanding and filling in the gaps in the soil. Once the slab has been lifted the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with cement. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Basement Water Issues Solved In Shevlin, MN

Randy, a homeowner in Shevlin, MN, was experiencing water in his basement due to cracked block work. He decided to look around for options on solutions and after his FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie, headed to the property for an inspection. Richie found that Randy needed solutions that addressed both water and foundation issues. Following the inspection, Richie made his recommendations and answered all questions, and Randy made an appointment to implement solutions.

First, our Foreman Raul and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls.

Next up was our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Once the job is done, the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finished look.

Then, they installed a discharge line from the sump pump to our IceGuard System outside of the home. The IceGuard is a waterproofing system that provides an extra block of protection against basement flooding, especially when freezing temperatures are problematic. 

 

The team also installed 8 GeoLock Anchors by digging holes outside the home and installing a metal rod in each hole going through the foundation. After installing a metal rod they proceeded to attach one of the GeoLock Anchors to the end of the rod, allowing the wall to be pulled back to its original position.  Over time, these anchors may be tightened to ensure the rods are effective and stabilize the home's structure. After the installation, the production crew backfilled the holes and replaces the soil to its original look.

They then went to work installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in.

Randy loved the new and improved space and is happy that the foundation of his home is in no longer in any danger!

Cabin Wall Stabilized in Shevlin, MN

David, who owns a cabin in Shevlin, MN, noticed some issues with his basement space. Unfortunately, the block wall on the east side of the home was cracking and bowing. He contacted us as he realized these were signs of failing. He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

Ian talked to David about installing our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. He explained that this innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that the anchors can be tightened over time. David agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew headed out to the cabin and got to work. The team installed 75of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement wall. They discussed with David that it is recommended to use the tightening kit every 4-6 weeks and that we would be in contact in 9-12 months to schedule his 1st Annual Maintenance. At the end of the project, David was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue.
