American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Larry G. in Heron Lake, MN had two cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was worried about the pressure it was putting on his foundation and the damage it could cause, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate.

After meeting with one of our Design Specialists, he chose to have wall anchors installed, which is one of our foundation repair products. Our production crew started the installation by drilling small holes through the block foundation and inserting long metal rods. They secured each end of the rod with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go, which permanently secured the wall. Wall anchors also provide the possibility for the wall to straighten over time. Larry was pleased with the installation and is glad he chose American Waterworks to permanently repair his foundation!

 A Heron Lake, MN, homeowner noticed that the concrete patio outside of his home was showing signs of sinking. Worried about what this could mean, the homeowner decided to begin the search for a MN concrete repair company. When he found our website, he signed up for our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Tony completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Tony began by informing the homeowner that concrete can experience sinking for a variety of reasons, but nonetheless, American Waterworks could help. Tony wanted to use our PolyLevel injection to address the sinking concrete. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and slowly lift slabs back into place. The homeowner liked the sound of Tony's plan and the work was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jordan, and his team were able to complete the lift with no issues. Now our customer can enjoy his freshly restored concrete!

A homeowner from Lakefield, MN, got in touch with us when she was in the process of updating her outdoor space. She had a large crack forming and had been sinking for years. Wanting to get her space updated, she decided to give us a call and set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, headed out to the home. 

Once Tony finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Tony explained that American Waterworks could address the sinking by installing our PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that we finished our installations with the application of our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to the joints and cracks in the concrete, preventing any unwanted debris or moisture from getting below the slab. The homeowner agreed to the proposed work, and the job was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Domanik, was able to lift the concrete successfully, updating the curb appeal of the patio. Now, our customer is free to upgrade her space and enjoy her outdoor oasis!

Alex J. of Westbrook, MN had water seeping into his basement from his floor cracks. He did some research online to see what companies performed work in basement waterproofing. He came across American Waterworks and called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Alex was confident in Shane's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by breaking out the basement floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed 158 feet of our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain and prevents water clogs. WaterGuard is one of our most efficient waterproofing systems when it comes to water leaks and will keep your basement clean and dry whether it's during the spring melt or during an intense thunderstorm. To complete the project, Juan and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Alex was satisfied with the outcome and had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
