Foundation Repair & Concrete Repair Services in Little Canada MN

In St. Paul, MN, a homeowner noticed cracks developing along the exterior wall of their home. Concerned that they were facing foundation problems, the homeowner began looking into foundation settlement repair and found a list of contractors in the areas. After browsing through, American Waterworks caught their eye because of our Google rating. Confident our team would get the job done right, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our trained experts.

In a couple of days, our Design Specialist, Lawson S., arrived at the home for a thorough inspection of the foundation. During the inspection, he took a close look at the interior and exterior of the foundation using our advanced tools to see how much the foundation had shifted. He also noted the cracks and signs of foundation movement he found. After seeing that the addition to the home was the only area that had settled and shifted, he worked with the homeowner to create a custom solution to address their foundation issues. He recommended installing our Helical Pier system that are mechanically advanced into the soil to prevent further settlement. Coming with a lifetime warranty, our pier system ensures the home will stay secure and has the possibility of lifting the structure back to its original position. Happy with the recommendations and with their experience with Lawson, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by removing the soil around the area where the piers would be installed. The Helical Piers are then mechanically driven into the soil like a screw until they reach the proper depths. Once it does, foundation brackets are positioned below the foundation footing. The weight of the structure is then transferred through the piers into the competent soil. Our crew was able to successfully install 3 Helical Piers securing the home.

A homeowner in Little Canada, MN grew concerned when she noticed weeping walls and standing water in her basement. Worried it would worsen and lead to permanent damage to her home, she decided to look into basement waterproofing services in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our reviews and decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Dustin L., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of wet basement damage is a failed footing drain. When this fails, water would saturate the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the walls, between the wall and the footing, and beneath the footing. To prevent this from happening Dustin recommended our WaterGuard, a perimeter drain system that intercepts water and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and directs any water leaks to the WaterGuard, TripeSafe, our top-of-the-line sump pump system with 3 levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that removed water in case the pipes freeze or become clogged. After reviewing Dustin's proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Arturo M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began installing 126ft of CleanSpace by attaching them to the wall using drilled-in fasteners. They also installed 136ft of WaterGuard and 2 IceGuard. Lastly, the crew installed our TripleSafe and made sure that the WaterGuard and IceGuard were properly connected. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Little Canada, MN recently learned the danger radon poses in homes. She learned that radon is unavoidable as it is released when the soil decays, causing a high toxicity level in the air. Worried that her family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to look into radon mitigation in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our reviews and decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to answer any questions the homeowner had, run a radon test, and create a proposal. Kyle placed our continuous radon monitoring test at the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that it would need to run for at least 48 hours so that it could accurately monitor the radon levels. Kyle also stated that it was always good to have your home regularly tested for radon as we cannot smell, touch, hear, or taste it, making it nearly impossible to detect. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted Kyle to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our crew arrived at the home to install our radon mitigation system. This is done by installing a PVC pipe at the footing of the home and connecting it to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. This is done this way so that our system can suction the radon-rich air and spew it outdoors. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing her family is breathing in fresh and clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Little Canada, MN, heard odd sounds coming from their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner did some investigating. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered the sounds were coming from their basement. The homeowner discovered their sump pump was not working properly and there was standing water throughout their crawl space. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert that would solve the issue before it worsened. The homeowner looked into "wet crawl space repair" and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner took a closer look at our waterproofing products and knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin, to the home to take a closer look. Kevin arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the crawl space. Kevin discovered the sump pump was malfunctioning, causing the water throughout the crawl space. To prevent the issues from continuing, Kevin recommended installing a new sump pump and encapsulating the crawl space. The homeowner agreed with Kevin's recommendations, then he passed the plans along to our Logsitics team to approve. Once our Logistics team approved and scheduled the project, it was assigned to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. A month later, the project date arrived and Lane and his crew traveled to the home to begin. Once they arrived, Lane and his crew started by taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew shifted to installing Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. The CleanSpace Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel below your crawl space liner. One member of the crew begins by laying the drainage matting while another puts one over the top. This is a very efficient and swift installation process. After the CleanSpace Drainage Matting is installed, the crew can go in and install CleanSpace on the crawl space walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN was concerned about the basement of his older home after a heavy rainfall the previous night. Going downstairs to check out the space, he found just what he was worried about. There was a good amount of water damage to the concrete floors and the homeowner knew that something needed to be done to fix the space. He went online in search of a solution and looked up "basement waterproofing contractors." The homeowner sifted through the results, but the one website that stood out to him was American Waterworks. He discovered our positive customer reviews and knew we were the right company to take on his basement. He signed up for one of our FREE no-obligation estimates and met with our Design Specialist, Darin Stenglein. Darin made sure to answer all of the homeowner's questions and developed a detailed plan for waterproofing the basement to ensure the problems wouldn't happen again. Later, our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew went to the site and began the project by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement. Then, they partly filled the channels with drainage stone, the WaterGuard basement drain system, and another layer of clean stone. Next, they connected a feed line from the drains to the new TripleSafe sump pump that was installed for the water to safely travel from. The crew then fastened CleanSpace vapor barrier to the walls to direct water leaking from the walls to the drains below and to brighten up the room. Finally, the crew poured a layer of concrete over the drains and around the pump and smoothed it out for a clean and pleasing look to the space that the homeowner was very happy with.

A business in Little Canada, MN was worried about their concrete sidewalk after one of their employees informed them that he had tripped over it. They knew something needed to be done about it before it happened to another person. They wanted to find a company that was in Minnesota and could help them with this problem. One of the first results that showed up was the American Waterworks company and they decided to learn more by signing up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with us. We sent over Design Specialist Canon Tweed to the business to talk over a plan, recommendations, and expectations for the project. Canon informed them that the reason the sidewalk had sunken so much was likely due to soil issues. He also explained that over time when the soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, the soil compacts and settles. The business was confident in Canon's knowledge and agreed to his plans for installations and repairs. The plans were approved and given to Foreman Troy Johnson and his crew who headed out to the site for installations. They began the project by drilling small holes throughout the sidewalk and inserting ports through the holes to reach the empty space below. Our PolyLevel foam was then injected to fill in the space and carefully lift the slabs back up. Next, they filled in the holes and joints with NexusPro joint sealant and some native sand on top for a clean finish. Finally, the crew cleaned up the area and their materials before heading out. The business was excited with the results and glad they gave us a call for this project.
