Concrete Leveling Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Barnesville, MN, was dealing with a deteriorating driveway. His driveway had been sinking over the years and had begun cracking as a result. The homeowner no longer wanted to deal with the eyesore and decided to look into what options might be out there. One day, he found himself at the Red River Valley Home + Garden Show in Fargo, ND. While perusing the booths, he ended up at the American Waterworks booth and spoke to our Design Specialist, Kole, about his concrete issue. He and Kole set up a time for Kole to come out to his home to see the concrete. 

Once the day arrived, Kole got right to work completing his inspection. When he finished, he explained to the homeowner that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons but that we could help fix the issue with the help of our PolyLevel method. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left over by soil erosion and slowly lifts sunken concrete back to it's desired location. Kole went on to say that our team recommends the application of NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to the cracks and joints of the newly lifted concrete and works to protect the vulnerable soil below by preventing water from getting between the slabs. The homeowner liked the sound of Kole's plan and scheduled the job for the Spring. 

When the snow melted and warm weather returned, our Foreman, CJ, and his team were able to complete the lift and level with no issues. Now our homeowner can look at his driveway fondly, knowing the cracks have been sealed.

A homeowner in Glydon, MN, did not like the look of the cracked and uneven sidewalk in front of their home. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner looked into their options. The homeowner began researching the companies near them and the first one to pop up was us, American Waterworks. Curious about the services we offer, the homeowner deep dove into our website. Impressed by our lifting and leveling choice, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate.  The homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Richie. When Richie arrived at the home, he began his detailed inspection of the concrete. Following his evaluation, Richie determined that the concrete was sinking and cracking due to soil settlement. Richie suggested that the cracks be filled, and the sidewalk lifted. The homeowner agreed with Richie's suggestions. Once they earned the stamp of approval, the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the PolyLevel installation. The crew lifted the slab near the garage door and the sidewalk leading to the home. Once the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew injected the NexusPro Joint and Concrete Sealant into the many cracks and joints. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left. The homeowners were impressed with the work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is pleased to assist another customer. 

Karen's driveway was uneven and had significant cracks, and she wanted to fix the problem before it worsened. She called American Waterworks and claimed her FREE estimate for a thorough inspection. Our Design Specialist, Skylar, headed to the property to inspect the driveway and recommend solutions to prevent the concrete slab from worsening. Once completed, Skylar recommended Karen invest in our PolyLevel solution and finish with our NexusPro solution. She got all her questions answered and agreed with the solution, and the team came out to her home shortly after.

Led by Foreman Patrick, our poly crew then strategically drilled holes into the concrete slabs that had sinkage to inject the PolyLevel Solution. The PolyLevel solution is an expanding polyurethane foam injected underneath the concrete slabs to fill the voids underneath the slab caused by soil erosion. Once the polyurethane was injected, the crew finished the project by sealing the cracks and joints with our NexusPro solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant formulated for flexibility and longevity to survive harsh weather conditions, helping ensure that the concrete will stay raised. 

Karen was happy with the results of her driveway and glad her peace of mind was restored.

Richard H. in Lewisville, MN was tired of dealing with the frustration of his sunken driveway. It had sunk 2-3 inches below the concrete floor of the garage and created a large bump when driving in and out.

He started looking for concrete repair experts and found American Waterworks. He was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution, so he gave us a call. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to give him a free onsite estimate. Richard was pleased to learn that we would be able to raise his concrete and make it level with the garage again. 

Our PolyLevel expert drilled penny sized holes into the concrete slabs to inject the foam. Once the foam is injected it takes only 30 minutes to cure, so Richard was able to see the results almost immediately. Richard was happy he found an affordable and efficient concrete repair option through American Waterworks. He will no longer have the frustration of uneven concrete for years to come!

Robert, a homeowner in Emerado, ND, scheduled an appointment with our team after noticing his front sidewalk concrete was sinking. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the water damaging his concrete, and excess water finding its way down to his foundation due to the runoff. We set him up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, James, headed out to the property to assess the issue and see what could be done to fix it. 

After his inspection, James recommended the use of our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam meant to be injected below the slab, filling any voids caused by erosion while raising and stabilizing the concrete. Our customer agreed, and work began shortly after. Foreman Charlie and his crew began the project by introducing themselves to Robert and ensuring his questions were answered. After a complete introduction, our team got to work. The first thing our crew did was drill small, 5/8" holes throughout the slab. Next, our crew installed injection ports over the holes to guide the PolyLevel underneath the concrete. Then, our team injected the PolyLevel through the holes to get underneath the slab and fill the voids to raise and level the slab surface. Next, the team used NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, so it won't crack, bubble, or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout. To complete the installation, our crew provided the resident with a thorough walkthrough of what they did and ensured the resident's expectations were met.
