Crow Wing County, MN's Respected Concrete Repair Company

A homeowner in Baxter, MN had water leaking in their basement so she called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. The homeowner was satisfied with the presentation and proposal so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by digging out the concrete around the homeowner's pre-existing sump pump and replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is the best sump pump that we provide and it has three levels of protection. Next, our team installed our IceGuard System outside of the home to the homeowner's discharge line. An efficient sump pump discharge line shouldn’t end just outside the foundation wall. If it does, water will seep back into the basement, especially when temperatures drop. To complete the installation, Mason and his team replaced the concrete and cleaned up their job. The homeowner was very happy and no longer has to deal with water seeping into their basement!

A customer from Brainerd, MN, got in contact with us when he began to notice the crawl space underneath his lake home was collected water. He knew that moisture in his crawl space could invite unwanted mold, mildew, and musty odors. When he called in, he cashed in on his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Our Fargo-based Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once finished, he was able to make a few recommendations as to how our customer could fix the issue. First, he recommended that we use our CleanSpace vapor barrier for crawl spaces. Richie explained that this solution would consist of our crew wrapping the crawl space in the tarp-like material. He went on to say that, when completed, this barrier would act to keep moisture out and keep the space energy efficient. Next, Richie recommended the placement of a crawl space drain, the ideal way to drain water in a dirt crawl space without clogging or drain failure. This drain would attach to a sump pump or other drainage line, keeping the water out of the space. Finally, Richie recommended the job be finished with our Spray Foam, a sprayable foam used to seal any remaining holes or points of entry for unwanted moisture. 

Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. One of our Foreman from Fargo, Zach, and his crew were able to complete the installations swiftly. The crew ended up installing 1466 sqft of our CleanSpace both on the walls and wrapped around the piers of the space, they installed another 116 sqft of Spray Foam and placed two smart drains throughout the space.

When the job had been completed, our customer was relieved to know that he could go back to enjoying his summer lake home with no worries when rain is in the forecast.

Tom from Crosby, ND had begun to notice a sizable amount of water finding its way into the basement of his lakeside home. He worried that the water intrusion could lead to issues like mold, mildew, rotting wood, and more, creating an even more costly project to fix down the road.  He did some research and found our company and gave us a call. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to assess the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he informed Tom that issues like the ones he was facing are not uncommon when the home is by a large body of water. He recommended that Tom have our WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe Sump Pump installed to correct the issue. He explained to Tom that the WaterGuard is a french drainage system installed below the floor, resting on top of the foundation footing, keeping it out of the mud zone where other drains can clog. He went on to say that this system would lead water to our TripleSafe, the most reliable sump system that provides three levels of protection for damp spaces. Tom agreed with Kole's recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kevin, ended up installing 128 ft of our WaterGuard, and 1 of our TripleSafe sump pumps. Once the job was completed, Tom was happy to know his basement water issues were in the past.

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN, was putting items away in their basement when they found that their wall was bowing slightly inward. Anxious about this discovery, the homeowner began looking for answers. The homeowner was searching for the best foundation repair company and came across our social media pages. After seeing our impressive work, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, Ian, one of the Design Specialists, was sent to inspect the basement. Once Ian completed the inspection, he discovered that the walls required permanent stabilization. Ian provided the homeowner with several suggested solutions that would solve their stabilization issues. After deliberation, the homeowners decided to go with one of Ian's versions. The plans were sent to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew were chosen and traveled to complete the job. Upon arrival, they began by preparing the south and east wall for the GeoLock installation. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system permanently stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole direct through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. The crew cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent job done by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Baxter, MN, was walking into their home one evening when they tripped on the uneven concrete. Worried another person would be injured, the homeowner knew they needed to solve the issue. Starting with Google, the homeowner took a closer look into "concrete lifting Fargo" to see what would be closest to their home. American Waterworks caught their eye almost immediately, so the homeowner investigated our concrete repair before and after photos. Impressed with our work, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to investigate. Once James arrived, he started by taking a closer look at the concrete driveway and sidewalk. After seeing the several trip hazards, James recommended using PolyLevel to lift and level the affected concrete slabs. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with James' suggestions. The plans were directed to the office to be finalized and then sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew were assigned to complete the lift and leveling. After they arrived, Charlie and his crew began the preparations for the PolyLevel installation. First, the crew focused on lifting the sinking concrete with PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. The crew installed the PolyLevel by strategically drilling small holes throughout the concrete. Next, injection ports are installed in those small holes. Then, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill the voids and raise the slab. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. The crew repeated the process throughout the driveway and sidewalk. Once they completed the job, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN became frustrated with his basement space when he went downstairs after a heavy rainfall and found a small puddle of water on the floor in one of the rooms. The walls and floors had already been damaged from water in the past, but it had been a while since there were issues with it. He wanted to find a permanent solution that would fix the issue and prevent any more basement water problems from happening in the future. The homeowner went online in search of a company that could help and searched "wet basement repairs near me." Looking through the list of services that showed up, he decided to go with the American Waterworks experts because of our FREE no-obligation estimates. We received the homeowner's request and sent over one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to the home. Shane inspected the areas of concern in the basement and came up with his recommendations for a solution. Shane suggested installing our WaterGuard basement drainage system because it would work to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and safely send it away to the working sump pump. The homeowner was relieved to hear of a plan and agreed to the installation. Later, our Foreman, Jonathan Burnes, and his crew went to the site and began by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement. Then, they placed some drainage stone in the channels followed by the WaterGuard drains and more clean stone on top. Finally, they poured and smoothed a layer of concrete on top for protection of the system and to keep out dirt and debris. The homeowner was very happy with the final results and with the crew's hard work.

A homeowner from Deerwood, MN, was in the process of remodeling his basement when he ripped out a chunk of drywall and noticed large stair-step cracks running down the wall. He was immediately concerned about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home, and in that moment decided to look into MN foundation repair. Through the recommendation of friends and family, he called American Waterworks and set up his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian S, was headed out to the home. When Ian arrived, he began conducting his inspection. Upon completion, he met up with the homeowner to go over the diagnosis and his recommended plan moving forward. Ian began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, the wall will begin to fail, leading to cracking, bowing, tilting inward the top, and/or sliding in at the bottom. Ian went on to say that some of the walls had deteriorated faster than others, meaning they would need the help of our GeoLock wall anchors. This innovative wall system counteracts wall failure by anchoring the failing wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation of the home. Thanks to threaded roads that extend through the wall, the anchors can even be used to straighten walls in many cases. For the walls that weren't as deteriorated, Ian recommended our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. This unique system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen the stabilized bowing or cracked foundation walls. While this method does not restore a bowed wall to its original state, it will halt further movement and cracks. The homeowner was grateful for Ian's transparency about which walls needed more attention. He signed for the project and the two worked to find a day for the product installation. 

About a month later, our Foreman, Franklin O, and his team were in the basement getting ready to install the systems. When they had finished, they had installed 19 CarbonArmor strips and 4 GeoLock anchors. Now, our customer can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing his remodel can continue with stable walls! 

A homeowner in Fifty Lakes, MN, came upon a blog post discussing the dangers radon poses in homes. Concerned his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, he decided to search for services in the area. When he found our website, he was pleased to see that we offer FREE estimates. Soon after, he reached out to us to schedule an appointment with one of our experts. 

Our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and began testing the radon levels. He set up the 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. He also explained that having your home's radon levels tested every 2-5 years was good as we cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon. Radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it breaks down into radium, eventually turning into radon gas. This makes radon gas unavoidable. James recommended installing our radon mitigation system, which uses a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outside of your home. An in-line fan would be placed beneath the foundation to suction out radon air and vent it outdoors. The homeowner agreed to James's suggestion and was happy to have a permanent solution to prevent dangerous radon levels in the future. He decided that it would be better to install the system as soon as possible rather than continuously test radon levels every 2-5 years. He decided to schedule the installment date, and James's design was sent to our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P.

After a couple of weeks, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the EPA's required action level for radon. The homeowner was happy that he had already scheduled the installment and would not have to wait any longer. When Jackson arrived at the home, he began the installment and when he finished, the homeowner was pleased to know his home now has clean, safe air.

A homeowner in Nisswa, MN, noticed that his back porch has begun settling causing cracks to form along the slabs. Concerned that it would be a trip hazard for his family, he decided to search for concrete lifting in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was extremely impressed with our concrete before and after transformations and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived on the scheduled date to begin a thorough inspection of the porch. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of settling concrete is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground under the concrete slabs and washes away the supporting soils. Over time, this causes spaces and gaps in the soil and the slab would begin to sink and form cracks. To address this issue, Ian recommended our PolyLevel lift the concrete and NexusPro to repair the cracks and seal the joints. Our PolyLevel is made of a high-density polyurethane formula that is specifically engineered to provide accurate leveling of concrete slabs. Our NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that provides flexibility and long-lasting durability for joints and cracks. The homeowner happily agreed to Ian's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jordan S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the concrete by drilling small holes into the slab and injection ports were installed. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, filling in the empty spaces in the soil. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is at the desired level before sealing the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew seals the joints and cracks using NexusPro. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Deerwood, MN, recently read an article discussing the dangers of radon. Concerned their home was at risk, the homeowner began looking into "radon testing and mitigation near me". After comparing several companies, the homeowner's attention was caught by our five-star rated radon mitigation systems. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist. Once the Design Specialist arrived, they introduced themselves to the homeowner and began with a radon test.  While the radon test was completed, the Design Specialist began looking for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Once he completed the inspection, the test was completed and the results showed the levels were above the recommended level, 4pCi/l. The Design Specialist shared his findings with the homeowner and recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in the home. The homeowner knew this was their best plan of action, so they decided to go ahead with the Design Specialists recommendations. After receiving the homeowner's stamp of approval, the Design Specialist passed the proposal along to our Logsitics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, then the project was scheduled for the following month. Once the project date arrived, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson, traveled to the home to install the radon mitigation system. Each of our Radon Mitigation Systems is designed differently, depending on the structure of the home. The forces need to be redirected from the "stack effect". Then, the radon gas is redirected and vented away from your home. Next, the radon entry points are sealed and the final system checklist is performed. Once Jackson secured the Radon Mitigation System, he cleaned up his materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know radon was no longer a major risk in their home. If you are worried about your radon levels, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Rochester, MN noticed that the humidity levels in her basement were high causing mold and mildew to grow. Concerned that it would worsen, she decided to look into basement waterproofing and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement and to answer any questions the homeowner had. He ran a test and confirmed that the moisture levels in the home were higher than normal and recommended having our Aprilaire dehumidifier installed. Ryan explained that store-bought dehumidifiers are not strong enough to solve moisture and mold issues in the home. However, our Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and reduces the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time. The homeowner happily agreed and decided to have it installed. 

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home to install it. Once they were done, they ensured it was working properly before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN, noticed cracks forming along his basement walls and was concerned that they affected the stability of his home. He decided to look into foundation repair in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our before and after photos, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During his inspection, he noticed that the moisture levels in the basement were higher than normal and explained to the homeowner that it could be because water seeps into the cracks in the walls, affecting the humidity.

The homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about two months, RJ L. and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 4 GeoLock wall anchors, and these are installed by first digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, an earth anchor is placed in the hole, and it is attached to the interior wall. Both plates are connected by a small steel pole that runs through the ground. In a couple of days, our Service Technician, Marc B., arrived at the home to install the dehumidifier.
