Le Sueur County, MN's Trusted Concrete Repair Company

Andy R. in Montgomery, MN was dealing with the frustration of a sunken and cracked driveway. He was tired of it being uneven, so he decided to give us a call after he read about our PolyLevel concrete repair option in the paper. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide a solution and give him a FREE estimate. Andy liked that the installation would be affordable and non-invasive, so he set up a date for installation. 

One of our PolyLevel experts drilled penny-sized holes into the concrete to inject the foam. Once the foam is injected, it only takes 30 minutes to cure, so Andy was able to see the transformation almost right away. The cracks in the driveway were then sealed.

The entire process only took about two hours. Andy was pleased that PolyLevel concrete repair is a more efficient and cost-effective option, yet still durable. Andy can now enjoy a smooth and level driveway!

Linda J. in Kasota, MN noticed that her foundation had started settling. Her home was built on a large hill, and the posts providing support to her home and deck had started to sink. She noticed uneven floors and cracks in the walls, so she decided she needed to contact a professional to inspect her home. She contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks and we sent our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, to her home to evaluate her foundation problem and provide her with a solution. Eric determined that the best option to stabilize her foundation was to install helical piers under the supports to lift them back up and prevent further sinking. Linda knew that if she left her foundation problem unattended to, it could become much more severe in the future, so she scheduled the installation of our foundation repair system.

Our team installed 13 helical piers and 8 helical tiebacks to permanently stabilize the foundation. The piers were installed underneath the footings of the home and the tiebacks were drilled into the soil and underneath the foundation to provide stability. Linda was very pleased with the outcome and was impressed with how our team worked incredibly hard and braved a blizzard.

Having a damaged foundation can reduce the value of a home by 10-15% when it comes time to sell. Leaving a foundation unrepaired can also lead to foundation failure and it is far more expensive to replace a foundation than it is to repair one. Don’t wait until it’s to late for your home!

Henry E. in Le Sueur, MN had water seeping in to his basement and he was tired of trying to solve the problem with temporary fixes. He decided it was time to fully waterproof his basement, so he would no longer have the burden of a wet basement. He contacted American Waterworks, and we sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a FREE inspection and estimate.

Anthony W. in Le Center, MN had multiple cracked walls in his basement. He was worried that these cracks would cause the walls to bow, which would put pressure on his foundation. He wanted to repair his walls before his problem got worse, so he contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a solution and a FREE estimate. Anthony was impressed with our products and our team, so he scheduled the installation. 

Our Design Specialist recommended having wall anchors installed along the cracked walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Our production crew started the installation by drilling 13 long, metal rods through the brick wall into the soil surrounding the home. They secured both ends of the rod with anchor plates and tightened them. Anthony's walls became permanently secured with the installation of these wall anchors. He is glad he made the investment to protect his foundation for the long-term.

George B. in Cleveland, MN was tired of the uneven sidewalk in front of his house. It had sunk several inches, and he was ready to have it repaired. He contacted American Waterworks after doing some research online. He was interested in our PolyLevel concrete repair product, so he called us for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to meet with George, inspect the concrete, and propose the right solution. 

One of our concrete repair experts, Dylon Mish, began the process by drilling penny-sized holes into the concrete slabs where they needed to be raised. Then, he injected the polymer foam until the concrete was raised and leveled back to its original position. George loved the results of the project and he is glad he chose American Waterworks to help restore his driveway.

Larry and Carol W. of Waterville, MN had cracks in their foundation walls, causing them to worry about the structural build and safety of their home. They saw American Waterworks at their local home show and saw that we perform work in foundation repair. Our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, was working the show, so he talked to them a little bit about our products. Larry and Carol were impressed with our services and liked that we provide FREE inspections and estimates, so Dylan went to their home to inspect their problems and come up with a solution that fit their needs and budget. Dylan proposed our CarbonArmor, which is a system that utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize the foundation wall. Larry and Carol were confident with the product and its warranty, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his team installed six of our CarbonArmor on the foundation wall. CarbonArmor utilizes the same technology used by the Army Corps of Engineers and aerospace engineers to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers, and bridges, so they are highly impactful for structural bases. Larry and Carol were happy with the repairs and were impressed at how quick the installation was! 

A homeowner in Browntown, MN, was near the front of their home and noticed their driveway was sinking. Not wanting to replace the entire slab, the homeowner began searching for a repair option. The homeowner came across one of our demonstrations on social media and was impressed by our process. After viewing the demonstration, the homeowner decided to investigate further from our website. Our previous work impressed the homeowner, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Kevin. Kevin arrived at the home and began his evaluation of the concrete. Kevin determined the cause of the difference in heights was soil settlement. After finding the cause of the issue, Kevin could come up with a solution that would prevent the homeowner from having the replace the concrete. After deliberating their options, the homeowner decided this was the best option. Soon after receiving the approval, the plans were sent to the assigned crew and production began. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew arrived at the home to start the PolyLevel installation. PolyLevel is the polyurethane foam injection solution that fills voids, stabilizes, and lifts sinking concrete. To begin the installation process, the crew drills small holes around the slab. The injection ports are installed in the small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. Finally, the holes and joints are sealed up. The crew needed to raise the PolyLevel, so the driveway would match up with the sidewalk. After the PolyLevel was injected, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were impressed with the excellent and efficient work completed by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
