Uneven Sidewalk Leveled in Lakeland, MN

American Waterworks
<p>To stop the sidewalk from sinking further, Gary recommended that the sidewalk be lifted and leveled. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed to Gary's recommendations. After the plans were approved, they were to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew. When they arrived, Patrick and his crew started by inserting the <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-leveling.html">PolyLevel</a>, a polyurethane foam injection solution, underneath the sinking concrete. The <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-leveling.html">PolyLevel</a> can restore the appearance and safety of concrete without the mess or cost of replacement. After they inserted all the <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-leveling.html">PolyLevel</a>, the crew shifted their focus to replacing the joints on the concrete. To replace the joints, the crew utilized the <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-repair/cracked-concrete.html">NexusPro Joint Sealant,</a> a silicone-based sealant. Once the joints were replaced, the sidewalk looked as good as new. The homeowners were thankful for the excellent job completed by the crew.

CrawlSpace Produces Funky Smell in Hunter, ND

<p>After his evaluation, Kole presented his solution to the homeowners and they agreed to his recommendations. Our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew went right to work and began the encapsulation process. The crew began by cleaning the debris off the floor and taking the insulation off the walls. Once the area was clean, the crew placed the Foamax on the walls. Then, they applied Spray Foam on the rim joist in the crawlspace. Once the walls were insulated, the crew laid CleanSpace on the walls and floors of the crawlspace. The vents were then sealed and the encapsulation process was complete. The homeowner was happy they could enjoy being in their fresh-smelling home. American Waterworks is happy to help solve another customer's issue. </p>
<p>A homeowner in Hunter, ND, was lounging in their living room when they noticed a foul scent wafting through their home. While investigating, the homeowner discovered the crawlspace was the source of the stench. The homeowners wanted to get rid of the smell, but they did not know who to call. After researching, the homeowners discovered American Waterworks and signed up for their <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/free-estimate.html">FREE</a> estimate. American Waterworks sent out Design Specialist, Kole, to explore the crawlspace and draft a solution.</p>

As the snow begins to fall, don't let it pile up on you! The last thing you need to worry about this spring is a damp basement or a faulty foundation.

Sinking Driveway Lifted in Buffalo Lake, MN
2024-01-10T15:08:47.05Z
American Waterworks
<p>Foreman, Dylon, and his crew started by lifting and leveling the driveway with the <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-repair/concrete-driveway-repair.html">PolyLevel</a>. After lifting the driveway, the crew sealed the garage joints at the base of the garage and driveway. Following a successful driveway repair, the crew moved to work on the cracked concrete near the entrance of the home. The crack was filled with the <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-repair/cracked-concrete.html">NexusPro</a>. If the crack was left long enough, it would have caused the concrete to crack and sink further. The crew succeeded with all the repairs and the homeowners were pleased with the results. </p>
<p>A homeowner in Buffalo Lake, MN, returned home and noticed their driveway was not the same level as their garage. In hopes of fixing the issue before the fall, the homeowners searched for a solution. After stumbling across our social media, the homeowners signed up for our <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/free-estimate.html">FREE</a> estimate. We sent out a Design Specialist, Mike, to evaluate the situation. Following the evaluation, Mike suggested that the driveway be lifted and leveled and the concrete crack be filled. The homeowners agreed and, shortly after, the project began.</p>

Bowing Wall Concerns Homeowners in Brooten, MN

American Waterworks
<p>Marc suggested that two <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/foundation-repair/foundation-repair-products/wall-repair-system.html">PowerBraces</a> be placed along the southern wall to support the bowing wall. Additionally, Marc recommended that footings would need to be poured for both <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/foundation-repair/foundation-repair-products/wall-repair-system.html">PowerBraces</a>. Our foreman, Juan, and his crew began their work by preparing the deteriorating wall near the stairs. The footings were poured and <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/foundation-repair/foundation-repair-products/wall-repair-system.html">PowerBraces</a> were secured in the correct place. Before the crew's arrival, American Waterworks recommended removing all low and no-access crawl spaces to allow the crew to conduct a full inspection. The crew efficiently completed the job and the homeowners felt peace of mind knowing they prevented any further damage to their home. </p>
<p>While preparing their home for the upcoming winter, a homeowner in Brooten, MN, discovered cracks along their basement wall. The homeowners took action immediately and signed up for their <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/free-estimate.html">FREE</a> estimate from American Waterworks. We sent out our Service Technician, Marc, to diagnose the issue with basement cracking and provide a solution for the worried homeowners. </p>

Water Intrusion in Barney, ND
2024-01-05T09:56:12.05Z
American Waterworks
<p>Kole evaluated that the current sump pump was still useable, but required additional support. Furthermore, the homeowner requested that the shower in the basement be demolished. Dylan and his crew successfully installed the WaterGuard Below-Floor French Drain System, tying the current water system, and demolishing the shower.</p>
<p>The crew started by demolishing the shower in the back corner of the basement. Following the demolishing, the crew turned their attention to the sump pump to connect their beaver waterline to their current waterline. Before the job was complete, the crew dug out the channels, placed the WaterGuard, and covered the channels with cement. The basement was left dry and with additional space. The homeowner is delighted with the results and we are happy to solve their concerns. </p>
<p>A homeowner in Barney ND, came across puddles of water throughout their basement. Concerned, the homeowner reached out for professional assistance. While considering their options, the homeowner came across American Waterworks <a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/free-estimate.html">FREE</a> estimate and chose to have us come out and take a look. American Waterworks sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to investigate the problem and propose a solution that the homeowners approved.</p>

Keeping Your Basement Shipshape: Water Intrusion Monitoring

How Your Crawl Space Could Be Costing You Money
2022-11-16T00:00:00.05Z
Elena Druktainis
The autumn to winter months is the most expensive, and stressful, for everyone. The last thing you should be focusing on right now is a fault crawl space that could be causing more trouble than you're aware of. Read our blog to find out some of the signs and symptoms of a crawl space, and what we can do to help.
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the average American, the autumn and winter months are the most expensive due to the number of holidays not so conveniently dispersed throughout this time. While you and your family are trying to enjoy the most that this busy season has to offer, we know the last thing you need to be worrying about is an inefficient crawl space creating an unnecessary headache when you need it least. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> </p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">High Heating Bill</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A dirt crawl space can be a financial burden on any household if it’s not properly addressed. Drafty crawl spaces mean that the cold winter air is entering the space through cracks or holes in the foundation of the home. This cold air circulates through your home, leading to cold floors and spikes in your heating bill. On top of an already expensive headache, a crawl space that lacks proper insulation during the colder months can potentially lead to frozen pipes and ductwork…something no one wants to be dealing with in negative-degree weather. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Similar to a drafty space,</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> cracks and holes in the foundation can be entry points for moisture that can wreak havoc on your space. A damp crawl space can be the cause of musty odors, mold, wood rot, and more. If fiberglass is present in the crawl space, it can tend to soak up moisture and humidity, growing mold and eventually causing it to “drip” from the ceiling. Allergens stemming from mold and mildew produced by water damage can be hazardous if not properly addressed, as these harmful toxins should not be breathed in for extended periods of time. </span></span></p>

On the same note, a damp crawl space could mean the wood in your space is compromised with rot, which can lead to expensive repairs of the structural integrity of your home. If you’ve noticed uneven floors throughout the rooms above your crawl space, you should consider taking action before your crawl space begins to affect the rest of your home. </span></p>

Lung Cancer Awareness Month: The Invisible Hazard
2022-11-02T00:00:00.05Z
Elena Druktainis
National Lung Cancer Awareness month is here again. Read our latest blog to learn about radon, the odorless, colorless gas that kills more than 20,000 people yearly.
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and as such, we feel it necessary to be transparent about one of the household hazards that could be wafting through your home completely undetected, but causing serious long-term health problems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Radon gas is the product of uranium in the soil around your home breaking down and decaying. It then seeps through cracks and holes in the foundation, and straight into your home. Unfortunately, it’s completely colorless, odorless, and tasteless, but when breathed in, radioactive particles from the gas can become trapped in your lungs, and over time, can increase the risk of developing lung cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer right behind cigarette smoke inhalation, and the CDC estimates that radon is responsible for more than </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/features/protect-home-radon/index.html#:~:text=Radon%20is%20a%20radioactive%20gas,gaps%20in%20buildings%20and%20homes."><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">20,000 deaths</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in the US every year. </span></span></p>

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.</span></span></p>

Finding Success in Fargo
2022-08-17T00:00:00.05Z
Elena Druktainis
This week we'd like to shine a spotlight on one of the most integral pieces of our team - our Fargo branch.
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As American Waterworks continues to grow and expand, reaching more and more customers in need of our services, we feel it necessary to shine a spotlight on one of the most integral pieces of our team-our North Dakota branch. Located in Fargo, this crew of talented individuals has worked tirelessly over the last two years to provide homeowners in the greater Fargo-Moorhead area with modern solutions to age-old problems. </span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">After finding success in Minnesota, Owner Steve Breland began to dream of what was next for American Waterworks. Deciding on Fargo was easy, stemming from Steve’s knowledge of the area and dream to expand into previously unexplored territory. Steve grew up on a farm in South Dakota himself and has a deep respect for the type of work and dedication it takes to see larger projects through from start to finish. When he began dreaming of a new branch, he knew it wouldn't be simple, but that it would be well worth it in the end for the new set of homeowners we would be able to help. As with most dreams, it had to be built from scratch, beginning with only one employee, our North Dakota Branch Manager, Sam Menge, who worked relentlessly to staff a team with only a laptop, a folding table, and a dream of what could be.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Currently, our Fargo team has grown to 14 members strong and is flourishing. This group of well-rounded, knowledgeable, and dedicated individuals continues to take the Fargo-Moorhead area by storm, booking out into late fall for projects. While this branch may be smaller in comparison to others of its kind, you will not find a more equipped team in the basement waterproofing and foundation field. From customer service to the final product, they blow the competition out of the water. They have a deep understanding of how safety and security begin with your home and aim to educate rather than persuade customers to invest in our services. Even when the days get longer, and work grows tiresome, they hold the customer’s best interest in the forefront of their mind, and smile through the project. We thank this world-class team for their tremendous efforts day in and day out and hope you’ll do the same if you get the opportunity to work with them. </span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Our Fargo branch is growing every day, and they are in need of career-driven, efficient, and talented professionals to fill out their team. Job opportunities available include, </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><a href="https://recruiting.paylocity.com/Recruiting/Jobs/Details/500588">Construction Crew Members</a>, <a href="https://recruiting.paylocity.com/Recruiting/Jobs/Details/1150641">Construction Co-Foreman</a>, </span></strong>and<strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> <a href="https://recruiting.paylocity.com/Recruiting/Jobs/Details/1141518">Construction Foreman</a>. </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Those interested in these positions must demonstrate the 3 Core Values American Waterworks employees pride themselves on: a one-team mentality, the dedication to show up each day, and the drive to be better than they were the day before. In addition, candidates should have prior knowledge of construction or related trades, the ability to operate equipment and be ready for manual labor. </span></p>

How Drought Affects Your Home's Foundation
2022-07-18T00:00:00.05Z
Elena Druktainis
As the lush rains of spring give way to the hot, dry spells of late July and August, the clay soils beneath our browning lawns begin to dry up and shrink, causing foundation settlement which could be disastrous for you and your home.
<p>In much of the country, summer means more than just warm weather. As the lush rains of spring give way to the hot, dry spells of late July and August, the clay soils beneath our browning lawns begin to dry up and shrink.</p>
<p>But it’s not just the soil beneath our lawns that’s shrinking. The soil beneath our homes is, too — particularly when dry periods extend for months (or even years, in extreme cases). And when soil shrinks, it creates voids — empty spaces into which a foundation can settle.</p>
<p>Signs of Foundation Settlement You might expect a sinking foundation to be obvious to the eye, but this isn’t always the case. Because a foundation tends to settle slowly, you may not notice it just by looking at your home from across the street.</p>
<p>However, when a foundation does settle, it typically doesn’t do so uniformly. For instance, one corner of your home may sink deeper and faster than another. This uneven settlement can often throw off a house’s geometry, so its once true and parallel frame becomes skewed. And when that happens, symptoms may appear all over the structure, including:</p>
<p>· Sticking windows and doors</p>
<p>· Sagging floors</p>
<p>· Floor or ceiling gaps</p>
<p>· Drywall cracks</p>
<p>· Interior cracks near window or door frames</p>
<p>· Separating chimneys</p>
<p>· Stair-step cracks in brick or block walls</p>
<p>So, the next time you struggle to open a window, it may not be the window that’s the problem. It could be something happening many feet below it.</p>
<p>The thing is, though, foundation problems don’t get better over time. And they don’t get less expensive to repair, either. But they can typically be fixed permanently. And, in many cases, the settling foundation can be raised back to its original position.</p>
<p>Solutions for Foundation Settlement The best way to prevent a home’s foundation from sinking further is to physically connect it to bedrock or stable soil. And the best way to do that is to drive steel piers deep into the ground until they reach bedrock or competent soil and connect them to the home with heavy-duty steel brackets. Once this is done, the foundation can be raised to its original level.</p>
<p>Piers are essentially sections of steel tubing that are mechanically pushed into the soil until they reach bedrock or stable soil. In certain situations, specialty piers with fins, known as helical piers, are driven (literally screwed) into the soil to achieve the same stability.</p>
<p>(It goes without saying that piering is a major procedure and needs to be done by a company with a lot of experience.)</p>
<p>What if I Don’t Fix It? Since foundations settle slowly, it can be tempting to ignore them. After all, sticking doors and sagging floors can often be chalked up to a home’s “character,” especially if it’s over 50 years old. But as mentioned earlier, foundation problems only grow worse with time. And if left unaddressed, they can eventually lead to catastrophic foundation failure — which, believe us, is something you don’t even want to contemplate.</p>
<p>So, why fix it? Well, because it’s your home, for one thing. It’s where you and your family live. It’s where your memories are made. But it’s also likely your single largest financial investment, so it just makes sense to protect it. Plus, if you ever sell your home, you must disclose any foundation problems it has. And the cost of stabilizing your foundation is often much less than the financial loss you’ll take if you sell it as-is.</p>
<p>There’s also the matter of cost. After all, because foundation problems only grow worse with time, they’ll never be less expensive to fix than they are today.</p>
<p>The good news is, with modern piering technology, settling foundations can almost always be fixed permanently. But you need to have your home inspected by a reputable company with specific expertise and deep experience in this area — no “general contractors,” please!</p>
<p>And once your home’s foundation is stabilized and returned to its original level? Well, you’ll be sleeping soundly — no matter how hot and dry it is outside.</p>

Why Every Home Needs a Dehumidifer
2022-06-29T00:00:00.05Z
Elena Druktainis
A basement with excess moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, viruses, bacteria, and other airborne pollutants. With our AprilAire E100 dehumidifier, you can be confident that the air you breathe is healthy.
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Basements can be a safe haven for a household. Perhaps you head downstairs to watch a movie as a family, shoot some pool, or even head to bed. What no one likes to talk about, is how a musty odor can put a damper on your basement activities. Moisture can enter your basement through various points of entry, but fear not, we have the solution. Our AprilAire E100 dehumidifier should be a staple in every clean and healthy household. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> </p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Signs and Symptoms:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are numerous signs that a dehumidifier should be added to your home. First, you should watch and feel for a damp presence in your space. This is a sign that the concrete walls and floors of the basement are absorbing moisture from the soil surrounding it, and releasing it into the air in your basement. Other signs to look out for include, musty smells and odors becoming present in the space, mildew and mold forming, and even rot. If any of these signs are present in your basement, it’s important to take action immediately to address the issue. </span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A moist basement is more than an inconvenience, but rather a health hazard that should be taken very seriously. Mold, mildew, and roting furnishings can be the perfect breeding grounds for viruses and bacteria that thrive in a damp environment. Prolonged exposure to these types of bacteria can have adverse effects on the health of anyone inhibiting the space. We know this sounds daunting, but we have the solution that will put your mind at ease. </span></p>

Why our Concrete Lifting Method is the Right Choice

When it comes to cracked and sunken concrete there are many myths and misconceptions about the best way to address the issue, but we're here to tell you that there is a cheaper less invasive option available to help you eliminate nasty tripping hazards.

Mudjacking and replacement are usually recommended to customers who want a fix, but we’re here to tell you that there is a cheaper, less invasive option available to help you eliminate nasty tripping hazards. </span></p>
<p><strong style="font-weight: normal;"> </strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.theconcretehero.com/2018/12/3-main-problems-with-mudjacking/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mudjacking</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

The process involves a specialized hydraulic pump that pushes a mud mix into holes that have been drilled into the slab, causing it to rise. However, this method proves to be ineffective because the materials used in the mud mix aren’t waterproof, causing it to become susceptible to washout, erosion, and breakdown. Furthermore, the weight of the mix can cause the soil beneath to become weighed down, potentially causing more damage down the road. Finally, the holes needed to inject the mix have to be anywhere between 1-2 inches, which are not only an eyesore but a possible culprit of the failing structural integrity of the concrete. Imagine going through all of the hassles for a “fix” that only lasts a couple of years. </span></p>

If you choose this route to fix a few minor spots, you’re potentially signing up for a month-long process. The replacement of the slab itself could take several days but then the curing time, in which you will need to stay off the slab, could be another two weeks or more. Ultimately, a new slab of concrete will eradicate cracks, but the soil underneath could face further sinkage because of the weight of the new layer atop, bringing you back to the root issue in no time. </span></p>

This high-tech expanding polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Not only is this solution waterproof, it’s strong but light, giving it a step up over both mudjacking and replacing concrete, both of which call for the use of heavy materials. It’s quick curing and after about 15 minutes can handle full loading. The holes drilled into the slabs are less than 1 inch, meaning we preserve as much of the structural integrity of the slab as possible. This process is so minimally invasive that you’ll barely know we were there!</span></p>

Concrete: Don't Replace It, Raise It!
2022-04-18T00:00:00.05Z
Elena Druktainis
Are you thinking of re-pouring the concrete on your driveway? What if we told you that we could REPAIR your driveway for a fraction of the cost... and you could use your driveway very soon after?! Read our latest blog post to find out how.
<p>Driveways in our region can often become cracked and sunken as a result of the soil underneath those concrete driveway slabs. </p>
<p>As the soil softens during rain or moisture, the weight of the concrete could cause the slab to sink. When the soil dries out, it shrinks and might not be able to support the concrete slab. Finally, sometimes the way the homebuilder compacted the soil in the first place might cause it to easily wash away – leaving an empty void under the concrete. Cracked or sunken concrete can create dangerous tripping hazards and become more expensive to fix if left unchecked. </p>
<p>All of these issues can be solved by our company injecting an environmentally safe foam called PolyLevel under the concrete to help support it and bring it to level with the rest of your driveway.</p>
<p>There are other processes that claim to raise and fix your concrete slabs, like mudjacking, but that will leave large holes in your driveway from drilling and isn’t a permanent solution. These solutions also tend to take longer, be more invasive, and lack some of the benefits of <strong><a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/concrete-leveling/polylevel-injection.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PolyLevel</a></strong>, like the capability to waterproof the concrete slab. </p>
<p>We get it, it’s not every day you try to decide how you’re going to fix your concrete driveway. You might be tempted to just rip the driveway out and repour it all together. However, this option can become very costly and inconvenient for you and your household. When you pour new concrete, it will take several days for the concrete to cure. This foam quickly raises the concrete and hardens, meaning you can drive a vehicle on your driveway within 30 minutes. you can’t use your driveway during that time. Instead of parking in your garage, you’ll be forced to park in the street or on your lawn, depending on what’s available to you.</p>
<p>If you want a less expensive and more sustainable option for your driveway, injecting PolyLevel under your driveway by professionals is the best bet. The process itself is quite simple. It begins with our team drilling strategic holes into the concrete in the areas, followed by injecting the foam into the holes. Our team then monitors the lifting process, making sure the slab is returned to its former state. The foam quickly raises the concrete and hardens, meaning you can drive a vehicle on your driveway within 30 minutes. </p>
<p>If this information still hasn't convinced you, it would help to know that our PolyLevel injection is stable and inert, meaning it does not react with soil or moisture and therefore won't leak hazardous chemicals into the soil. It strengthens and stabilizes loose soil, ensuring your slab of concrete will stay put for a long time to come. </p>
<p>If this issue sounds familiar to you, call us today to schedule your <strong><a href="https://www.american-waterworks.com/free-estimate.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FREE</a> </strong>estimate!</p>

2021 Toys for Tots Campaign
2021-11-04T16:09:18.05Z
American Waterworks
The Toys for Tots campaign helps several children in Southeast Minnesota have a brighter and more joyful Christmas. Toys for Tots supports 29 local agencies in the eight counties of Southeast Minnesota, which served 8,494 local children last year.
<p>The Toys for Tots Foundation was established by the Marine Corps in 1991. The main purpose of this event is to help bring the joy of Christmas to local, less fortunate children.</p>
<p>American Waterworks is a proud sponsor for this year's Toys for Tots drive. We will be teaming up with Laser 101.7 and Fox Country 102.5 to help promote the importance of this campaign. "Since December of 2012, we have been a sponsor for Toys for Tots," says American Waterworks president, Burt Weekes. "We like being part of it because we give back to the community and provide love and gifts for children. Every child deserves to open a gift on Christmas." Monday, November 15th, and Monday, November 29th, we'll be doing a live broadcast at Fleet Farm in Rochester, MN from 4 pm to 6 pm. We'll be matching $2,000 in donations this year - $1,000 at each event. </p>
<p>Stop by Fleet Farm on the 15th and 29th between 4 pm and 6 pm and bring in some new, unwrapped toys to support this remarkable event for children. Thank you for giving back, and we hope to see you there!</p>

<h1><strong>Star Tribune’s 2021 Top Workplaces to Work </strong></h1>
<p><strong>(Rochester, MN, June 30<sup>th</sup>) – </strong>The Minneapolis Star Tribune recognized 297 companies in Minnesota as the top places to work in 2021. With the passion to serve over 30,000 homeowners and businesses in Minnesota, North Dakota, northeast Iowa, and western Wisconsin, American Waterworks is proud to announce that we are recognized as #40.</p>
<p>With a 4.9 rating and over 800 reviews on Google, Facebook, HomeAdvisor, and the BBB, we are one of the highest-rated contractors in the Midwest. Behind the scenes, we live and stand behind our three core values which are, show up, driven to be the best, and one team.</p>
<p>To us, showing up means more than simply being physically present at work. It means showing up ready to work and being on top of your game. We are driven to be the best at what we do and want to provide the best possible customer experience. We want to change the negative stigma surrounding the construction industry. As one team, the teamwork and support between all departments is our most important value. We celebrate our wins as a team and share learning opportunities as a team.</p>
<p>According to the Star Tribune, Top Workplaces is a powerful way to stand out in a competitive market. It is an opportunity to highlight your culture and a chance to celebrate the good. Top Workplace states that, “Winning the Top Workplaces award is proof that your organization really does put its people first. Research shows that these companies attract better job candidates, find the right talent, and have lower turnover rate.”</p>
<p>At American Waterworks, our purpose is to improve the lives of our customers, team, and community by restoring their peace of mind in the safety and stability of their homes. By doing that, we educate our customers, we have the experience, and we make things right.</p>

<p><strong>Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics Winner</strong></p>
<p><strong>(Rochester, MN, May 24<sup>th</sup>) – </strong>American Waterworks is proud to announce that they were selected as a winner for 2021’s Better Business Bureau Torch Award of Ethics! The company has a team of basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space repair, concrete lifting and repair, and radon mitigation experts. They have been serving Minnesota, North Dakota, western Wisconsin, and northeast Iowa for 33 years and have been BBB accredited since 2000. </p>
<p>The BBB’s mission is to be the leader in improving marketplace trust. They celebrate and recognize local companies that demonstrate integrity and ethical commitment in all that they do. To get this award, the company must be in business for at least three years, have met their financial obligations, have not won this award in the past, and must have a “B” rating or better from the BBB. The judging process consists of entries that are evaluated by a board of judges. The judges focus on principles of excellence, integrity, ethics, teamwork, trust, respect, community involvement, and supporting documentation. Owner, Steve Breland, said his team feels honored to receive this award and is proof that the company is credible and reliable. “We would not have been able to win this award without our wonderful team who represents our company so well,” said Breland.</p>
<p>“This award is special because it’s bigger than a product, service, or brand. It’s about displaying an ongoing commitment to ethical practices,” said BBB Vice President of Community Relations, Lisa Jemtrud. “BBB is proud to give this award as our highest honor.” American Waterworks employees are grateful to be able to take care of their customers and redefine their industry of what it means to be a contractor.</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>American Waterworks Expansion into North Dakota</strong></p>
<p><strong>(Fargo, ND, October 5<sup>th</sup>)</strong> - American Waterworks, an active dealer for Supportworks and Basement Systems that has several decades of experience in the basement waterproofing and foundation repair industries, expanded into North Dakota nine months ago. From appointment to installation, they care deeply for and strive to build long-term relationships with each customer they help with their home repairs.</p>
<p> <img title="North Dakota Office" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/uploads/press_release/1207/medium/nd-office_1601913432.jpg" alt="North Dakota Office" width="315" height="236" /></p>
<p>American Waterworks has helped homeowners with thousands of problems, specifically waterproofing basements, repairing foundations, and repairing/encapsulating dirt crawl spaces. After serving homeowners for 30 years in Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and northeastern Iowa, they happily announced in January that they were expanding into North Dakota.</p>
<p>General Manager Jeremy Girgen, hired in May of 2013, says “Working for this company has been life-changing. We are a team of hardworking individuals who are focused on being the best, helping our customers, and helping each other succeed.” Jeremy travels between branches and helps manage the office in North Dakota, along with their new North Dakota Branch Manager, Sam Menge, hired in March of 2020.</p>
<p>Expanding into a new territory has not only helped grow their company, but it has helped many new homeowners. “I wanted a career with a growing company that specialized in helping people and our community,” said Customer Care Manager, Nate Erickson. “Now that I’m here, I get to help be part of redefining our customer’s experience and have never felt more fulfilled.”</p>
<p><strong>News Jobs – They’re Hiring! </strong></p>
<p>News of the expansion also brings an increase in new production jobs to the North Dakota area. At American Waterworks, they provide the best tools, materials, and training to ensure success for all of their employees. With a solid pay and benefits package, they strive to promote opportunities for personal and occupational growth.</p>
<p>As a production crew member, applicants would load tools, supplies, and equipment onto the company truck for each job, install their systems at each job site, unload and clean their company truck, all while providing a remarkable experience for their customers. For this role, coming from a construction background is preferable, having a valid driver’s license is necessary, and having the ability to lift heavy objects and possibly work overtime is expected. One of their long term goals is to become a top mid-sized company to work for, so hiring the right people who embody their core values, which are- one team, show up, and driven to be the best- is imperative for a company growing in a new region. Having a strong, and positive culture is a top priority for the American Waterworks team.</p>
