American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Plymouth, MN had an uneven sidewalk and was worried that it was a tripping hazard. She decided it was best to address the issue right away rather than wait, so she started searching for concrete lifting services in the area. She found our website and was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to assess the sidewalk. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a sinking sidewalk is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, the soil beneath the concrete expands and contracts, causing the concrete slab to sink and heave. For this reason, our Design Specialist suggested our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. The homeowner was grateful for his explanation and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The concrete is lifted by first drilling small holes into the slab. Then, the injection ports and installed, and PolyLevel is injected beneath the concrete slab. Once it has been lifted the crew will ensure that it is leveled before sealing the small holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. Once they were done, they cleaned their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, had a sunken concrete slab at the front step of her home and knew that it impacted the curb appeal of her home. Knowing that the issue would continue to worsen, she decided to search for concrete lifting and leveling in the area and was directed to our website. Intrigued by our PolyLevel solution, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, 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 one of the most common causes of settling slabs is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slab upright. As this continues, gaps and holes can be found in the soil, and the slab would begin to sink. For this reason, Brad recommended our PolyLevel, our waterproof foam expanding formula that accurately lifts sinking slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that provides flexibility and long-lasting durability. The homeowner was happy to move forward with the project and scheduled the installation date. 
In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the concrete slabs by drilling small holes and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected, filling in the empty spaces in the soil, causing the slab to lift. Once it is lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew sealed the joints with NexusPro.

A homeowner from Richfield, MN, had just learned of the dangers that radon gas can pose to a household. Not wanting the invisible threat to be circulating through her home, she began looking for a contractor offering radon mitigation MN. When she found our website, she was impressed with our images of radon gas mitigation system we had installed in her area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, was scheduled to stop out at the home. 

When Kyle arrived, he began his appointment by placing continuous radon monitoring tests in the basement of the home. This test aims to record radon levels over a period of time, delivering the average radon level in the home. Kyle explained that if the test came back with a score higher than 4 pCi/L, he would recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Kyle went on to say that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner liked the sound of Kyle's plan and vowed to wait until the results returned to make a choice. When the results returned sometime later, the levels were way above the recommended 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner called Kyle to schedule a date for the system to be installed. 

Eventually, the day of the project rolled around. Our Foreman, Geno M, was able to lead his team through the installation of the system. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing her family is inhaling only the cleanest air possible.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, had had a continuous issue with her concrete slabs sinking along the walkway. After realizing the multiple trip hazards that have been created due to the issue, she knew it was time to get her concrete fixed. The homeowner began searching for "concrete repair in Minneapolis, MN" and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our concrete transformations, the homeowner contacted us to schedule her FREE concrete estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Michel R., arrived at the home to asses the walkway. During the inspection, Michel noticed signs of soil washout. He explained to the homeowner that soil washout is the process in which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slabs upright. Over time, this causes gaps in the soil, and the slabs would begin to sink. To effectively fix this issue, Michel recommended installing PolyLevel, our waterproof foam expanding formula, to accurately lift the sunken slabs, NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that is UV resistant, to repair the cracks and seal the joints. The homeowner happily agreed to Michel's recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was dealing with a leaky basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner was left with leaky basement walls and standing water. She no longer wanted to deal with the nuisance, so she began to look for Minneapolis basement waterproofing. After hours of combing through results, she found our website and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the property to see what could be done. 

Once Eric finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Eric recommended the use of our CleanSpace. He explained that CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets applied directly to the walls. It works to catch water entering through porous holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter drain. The basement lacked a drainage system, so Eric wanted to use our WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard is a French drain that gets applied below the basement floor, but atop the foundation footing, keeping it out of the "mud zone" where other drains tend to clog. The WaterGuard catches water running down the wall from the CleanSpace, as well as any water entering through the floor, and gives it a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site, which in this case, was an already placed sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of our products working hand in hand and decided to schedule her job for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kiko, led his team through a flawless installation. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing her water intrusion issue has a reliable solution!
