Your Dependable Inver Grove Heights, MN Structural Repair & Concrete Raising

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.

Robert L. in Inver Grove Heights, MN was concerned about his cracked foundation wall in his basement. A section of his wall underneath the stairs had cracked and was bowing inward. He was worried about the stress this was putting on his foundation, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, went onsite to inspect his wall and design a solution. Jeremy recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize his wall. Robert like the thorough proposal that Jeremy developed, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled 4 metal rods through the brick wall and underneath the driveway. In order to secure the metal rods, they had to excavate the soil outside of the home and remove some of the concrete on the driveway. They installed the plates onto the ends of the rods and tightened them. Then, they replaced the concrete and the soil. The installation took a couple of days, but since our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, Robert has peace of mind that his foundation protected for the long-term.

Troy F. in Inver Grove Heights, MN had a back porch with damaged and uneven concrete. He started to shop around for concrete repair specialists. He had heard that American Waterworks offers a fast, durable and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair, so he gave us a call for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Kevin McWithey, went to his home to examine his concrete problem and provide him with a solution. Troy was glad to hear that we could repair his concrete porch within a matter of hours, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Jared Wroblewski, drilled penny-sized holes into the concrete slabs where the foam needed to be injected to effectively raise and level the porch. Then, he injected the foam until the slabs were a completely level surface. Lastly, he filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. Troy was amazed at the transformation and he is glad he will now be able to enjoy a beautiful concrete porch for many years to come.
