Farmington, MN Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor

When a homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, noticed unsettling cracks in their foundation, they recognized the need for immediate action to prevent further structural damage. They contacted American Waterworks, seeking our specialized expertise in foundation repair. Our team promptly scheduled an appointment, beginning their journey toward a secure and stable home. Our process started with one of our Appointment Specialists arranging for a comprehensive home inspection. During the inspection, our Design Specialist identified that the cracks were causing structural discrepancies. After a careful assessment, we recommended the installation of our GeoLock Wall Anchor system as the ideal solution. Our skilled production team, led by an experienced foreman, arrived to implement our trusted GeoLock Wall Anchor System. This involves embedding heavy-duty steel earth anchors in stable soil far from the problematic wall. These anchors were connected via galvanized steel rods to interior wall plates. The procedure stabilized the foundation walls securely. Moreover, the system allows adjustments during dry seasons, promoting additional wall straightening, which emphasizes its long-term benefits. By leveraging our expertise, the installation was completed efficiently, often achieving results within a single day. Following the installation, our team conducted a thorough cleanup, ensuring the property was returned to its best state. Consequently, the homeowner regained peace of mind knowing their home—arguably their most significant investment—was protected. With a secure foundation in place, the Albert Lea home has regained its stability and value.

A homeowner in Farmington, MN, had multiple concrete issues, such as cracked and sunken slabs. He worried that these would be a trip hazard for him and his family, so he looked into concrete lifting in the area. The homeowner found our website and was impressed with our 5-star reviews, so he decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Romeo V., arrived at the home to asses the walkway and driveway. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of concrete damage is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground beneath the concrete slabs and washes away the supporting soils. Over time, this causes empty gaps in the soil, eventually leading to the slab sinking. To fix this issue, Romeo recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to repair the cracks and seal the joints. Our PolyLevel and NexusPro are both high-durability, long-lasting solutions that will leave concrete smooth and leveled. The homeowner happily agreed to Romeo's suggestion and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slab and placing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the concrete slab. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Farmington, MN, was facing multiple issues with concrete, such as sinking stairs and an uneven sidewalk. She decided to search for "concrete lifting services in the area" and found our website. After browsing our website, she was impressed with our "Before and After" photos and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Romeo V., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and conducted a thorough inspection of the porch and sidewalk. He explained to the homeowner that it is common to see those issues due to soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity exceeds, it expands and contracts beneath the concrete slab. Over time, it causes the concrete to sink and heave and, in most cases, form cracks in one or more parts of the slab. For this reason, Romeo suggested PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. The homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with his design.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the concrete by drilling small holes into the slab. The injection ports are then installed, and PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab. The PolyLevel then expands and fills the space in the soil and lifts the slab. Once this was completed, the crew ensured the slab was leveled before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints around the stairs and on the sidewalk. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer's stairs and sidewalks are leveled! Are you experiencing something similar? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!

A homeowner in Farmington, MN was concerned about his front walkway because many of the slabs had sunk and there were some cracks scattered throughout the surface. He decided it was time to find a service for the repairs and was hoping to find a solution that was timely and inexpensive compared to fully replacing the concrete. Keeping this in mind, he went online to see what concrete repair companies were in his area. The American Waterworks website showed up during his search and the homeowner was impressed with the positive reviews from past customers, so he signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate. Later, one of our expert Design Specialists went out to the home to inspect the walkway and prepare his recommendations. The Design Specialist informed the homeowner that something could be done to repair the concrete and explained what our PolyLevel solution and NexusPro sealant was. The homeowner was glad to hear that something could be done and agreed to the installations. One of our Foremen, Sam Klennert, went to the site with his crew to begin the project. The crew first drilled small pencil-sized holes in the concrete and inserted ports in the holes to reach the empty space below the concrete. Then, the carried out the PolyLevel injections until the slabs were all the same level again. Finally, the crew filled in the holes, joints, and cracks with NexusPro sealant and spread some native sand on top for a smooth final look.

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!
