Ray W. in South Saint Paul, MN was suffering from a severely bowing foundation wall. He knew he shouldn’t wait to repair his foundation because he knows how expensive it is to replace the foundation altogether if it were to fail. While searching for a company that could help restore his foundation, he came across the American Waterworks’ website.

Jessica from Mendota, MN, got in contact with us when she suspected that her home was infested with hazardous Radon gas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be extremely harmful to both humans and pets if inhaled at high levels for an extended period of time. In fact, Radon gas exposure has quickly become the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon can be measured in picocuries per liter, or pCi/L. The National Radon Defense suggests taking action with any levels above 4 pCi/L. Jessica used her FREE estimate and we sent our Design Specialist, Dustin, out to the property to complete a Radon test to find out the levels in the home. When the results came back, Dustin found the levels to be at 6.8 pCi/L, well above when the NRD would recommend action. He suggested Jessica have a Radon mitigation system installed, which would help lift the gas from the home and expel it up and outwards through a vent in the top of the house. Our Foreman, Juan, installed the system with little hassle. Now, Jessica and her family can breathe a bit easier knowing that their home is no longer infested with dangerous levels of Radon.

A concerned customer from Rosemount, MN, got in contact with us when her cracked and settling concrete slab in her garage began to worsen. She knew that if she left the problem unresolved it could create a potentially dangerous tripping hazard or could worsen and be more expensive to fix later down the road. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate, and one of our Design Specialists from our Concrete and Radon Division headed out to the property in the coming weeks. Once he arrived, he did a thorough investigation into the problem. Once he finished his walk-through he was able to make his recommendations as to how we could best help fix the issue. He recommended that our customer invests in our Lift and Level option for her concrete slab. This process entails us drilling strategic holes into the slab and then injecting our PolyLevel foam into the holes. This foam is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath concrete slabs to fill gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surfaces. Our Foreman, Sam, was able to complete the project with little hassle. When the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that her concrete slab wasn't moving any time soon!

Our customer, David, from Inver Grove Heights, MN, reached out to us when he noticed that his concrete walkway to his garage was uneven and may cause potential trip hazards. David was worried that this problem may worsen over time and cause a major problem down the road. When David contacted our office at American Waterworks, we were able to set David up with the FREE estimate that we offer. A Design Specialist forms our Concrete and Radon division was then able to visit David and do a thorough inspection of the issue and see how we can prevent any further damage to the concrete. Once a thorough inspection was complete our Design Specialist recommended that David should invest in our lifting and leveling option. David agreed and our Foreman, Brandon, and his crew arrived at the scene and proceeded with the installation. The crew began by drilling holes in strategically placed areas through the concrete slab and filled it with our PolyLevel solution, which is an expanding polyurethane foam that fills the gap between the concrete and the soil due to soil erosion. This poly foam then raises and stabilizes the concrete slab. During the process, the crew keeps a close eye as the foam expands to the appropriate height. After the PolyLevel stage, Brandon and his team, then finish by sealing any holes or joints that remain with our NexusPro solution. The NexusPro solution is a silicone-based sealant that is long-lasting and durable. This is so that the joints do not separate or tear in harsh weather where concrete may expand or shrink with temperature. David was happy with the work that has been done and worry-free that the issue will not occur again.

Tim from Lakeville, MN, noticed a crack and bow on the foundation wall supporting his garage, causing him to worry about the structural integrity of his home. He then proceeded to call the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks after hearing about the FREE estimate we offer. Once claiming his free estimate and scheduled an appointment, our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew then attended Tim's home and began a thorough house inspection to provide the best solution to prevent any further damage or future issues involving the home's foundation.

Once dug, the team then proceeds to drill holes through the issue wall and insert a long rod that goes through the hard compact soil underneath the home. Once the rods are inserted the production team then proceeds to attach a wall anchor plate at the end of each side of the rod. Once the job was finished the team backfilled the holes and place a layer of concrete to provide a more finishing look. The GeoLock Wall anchors could be tightened over time to provide more stability in straightening the wall over time. Tim is now comfortable that his home's foundation is in no danger.

During their search, the homeowner came across our previous concrete work and was impressed. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website and Michel, one of our Design Specialist, was sent to the home.

A homeowner in Farmington, MN, knew their crawl space needed a professional evaluation. Unsure of what company to work with, the homeowner asked their neighbors about their past experiences. Many neighbors recommended American Waterworks, so the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Soon after finalizing the appointment details, we sent out Ryan, one of our Design Specialists to the home. Ryan arrived and performed the crawl space inspection. After completing the inspection, Ryan determined that the crawl space required stabilization. Ryan proposed a solution that would stabilize and straighten the crawl space. After considering all their options, the homeowner agreed with Ryan's suggestions, and the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Once production details were confirmed, the crew set out for the home to begin the stabilization. The crew began by installing the eight Geo-Locks, four on the west wall and four on the north wall. Geo-Locks are a galvanized steel wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring to untouched soil beyond your foundation. To begin the installation, the crew excavated a small section of the lawn to insert the first Geo-Lock anchor. Then, a small steel pole is pushed through the soil to connect to the interior Geo-Lock anchor. Once the Geo-Lock anchors are connected and secured, the crew covers the hole in the lawn. Additionally, the crew left a straightening kit, so the homeowner can straighten their walls over time. The homeowners were thankful that the crawl space walls were properly stabilized and had no risk of wall failure. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
