American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A customer from Wayzata, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice the retaining wall in front of her garage was beginning to tilt inwards. Our customer feared that if she left the problem unresolved she risked the possibility of the wall failing completely and costing more to fix. When she contacted us we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a thorough inspection by a member of our Design Specialists team. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to her home to inspect the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his professional opinion about correcting the issue. He told our customer that her best bet to battle the failing wall would be allowing us to install our GeoLock anchors. He explained to her that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution for stabilizing and straightening as it anchors the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to explain that, after the installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further address the failing foundation walls and pull them back into place. Our customer gave the green light and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Hugo, installed three of our GeoLock anchors throughout the problem wall. Once the job was complete, our customer was happy to know that her failing wall issues were a thing of the past! 

A homeowner in Wayzata, MN, worried that their patio needed to be replaced due to growing away from the home. Not wanting the problem would worsen, the homeowner began looking for experts to solve the issue. During their search, the homeowner came across our stellar reviews and decided to give us a chance. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, we sent out one of our Design Specialists investigate the cause and provide a solution for the homeowners. After insepcting the concrete the Design Specialist found that the concrete was sinking into the ground. After finding the root of the issue, the Design Specialist could come up with a plan that would solve all the sinking issue. The homeowners considered all their options, but ultimately decided that they would go with the Design Specialist's plan. As soon as the plans were approved, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of our assigned crew. Upon arrival, our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew began by prepping the appropriate area for repairs. Once ready, the crew began by inserting the PolyLevel, a polyurthane foam injection solution, underneath the sinking patio. Once the PolyLevel was installed, the crew shifted their focus to replacing the joint near the front door. After filling the with the NexusPro Sealant, joint, the crew cleaned up the job site and left the home. The homeowners were in awe of the excellent job completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to help another customer solve a home issue. 

Jeffrey H. in Champlin, MN discovered the adverse effects that radon gas has on people's health and he became concerned because his home had not yet been tested. He started looking for a company to test his home, and he came across American Waterworks’ website. He was glad to see that along with concrete repair, basement waterproofing and foundation repair, we also offer radon testing and mitigation. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to set up the test. The results showed that Jeffrey did in fact have unsafe levels of radon in his home. Jeremy explained the risks of not having a radon mitigation system installed and he walked Jeffrey through the installation process. Jeffrey wanted to have the system installed as soon as possible, so they scheduled the project. 

Our radon mitigation specialists drilled a hole through the concrete under the stairs in the basement to create a suction point for the gas. Then, a PVC pipe is inserted which goes up through the house and exits the home through the roof. A fan is installed at the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the radon gas is being pushed away from the home. The post mitigation test results showed that his home was now a much safer environment. The installation took only one day to complete, and Jeffrey is glad he took action to protect his and his family’s health.

Jeff D. of Champlin, MN had uneven and cracked concrete on the sidewalk leading to his porch, making him consider the value of his home. He got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams. Jesse went to his home, inspected his concrete, and came up with a solution. Jeff was confident in Jesse's proposal, so he moved ahead with the concrete repairs. 

Our Foreman, James Jacques, and his crew member began the project by injecting PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the surface. Our PolyLevel is an expanding foam that fills the gaps caused by soil erosion and cures within 15 minutes after it's injected. Next, our team applied our NexusPro over the cracks to prevent moisture from seeping into the soil beneath. NexusPro provides long-term flexibility and can stand up to harsh weather conditions. Jeff was very happy with the repairs! 

Chris G. of Champlin, MN had multiple cracks in the concrete slabs of his driveway. These cracks then had a common area where a big piece of the concrete in the middle of the slab had detached itself. Chris began to worry due to the potential trip hazards and got in touch with the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. This entitles Chris to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist attended Chris's property and began a thorough inspection to give a proper diagnosis and solution to solve the issue. Our Design Specialist proposed to Chris that the best solution is our PolyLevel Solution along with a finishing touch of our NexusPro Solution. Our PolyLevel solution is an expanding foam that fills the voids underneath the slabs caused by soil erosion. This allows the concrete to be lifted and leveled. The NexusPro solution is a solution that is applied to the cracks and joints to prevent moisture from seeping through affecting the soil beneath its respected slab. The NexusPro solution is a silicone-based solution that is made to withstand UV light preventing dry out or any shrinkage. Chris agreed with the solution and scheduled a day of installation. 

Our, Foreman, Brandon, and his crew began the project by strategically drilling holes in the concrete slab which is experiencing the issue and injecting the PolyLevel Solution. Once the concrete is leveled and perfect, the team then applies the NexusPro solution for long-term flexibility and gives the concrete a finishing look. Chris was very happy with the project!
