Responsible Crawl Space & Wet Basement Repair Experts in North Branch, MN

Sandra from North Branch, MN, enlisted our help when she noticed that her front walkway surrounding her home was beginning to sink, creating fairly large gaps. She was afraid that if she left the concrete as is that it would create an even bigger hazard and could be much harder, and more expensive, to fix down the road. When she called us she was able to use her FREE estimate to diagnose the issue. We sent our Design Specialist, Jesse, out to the property to do a thorough inspection into the cause of the issue, the extent of the damage, and to make recommendations as to how we could help Sandra moving forward. Once Jesse had completed his inspection, he informed Sandra that the root of the problem was the soil beneath the slabs of concrete was settling, lowering the concrete with it. Because of the size of the gaps already forming, Jesse recommended that Sandra take action quickly to ensure no further damage was done. He recommended our PolyLevel injection; an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surfaces. Sandra agreed and our Foreman, Ben, and his crew were on the scene in the coming weeks. 

Ben and his crew began by strategically drilling holes into the problem concrete slabs. Next, they injected the foam into the holes and monitored the raising process to ensure the slabs returned to their former place. To finish the job, the crew sealed all the cracks and holes with our NexusPro, a long-lasting silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks. 

When the job was complete, Sandra was happy with the work our team did and was relieved that her worries were in the past!

Doug G. in North Branch, MN had a dirt crawl space that was high in moisture and was letting energy out of his home, therefore wasting his money. A friend referred him to American Waterworks because they had previously had a great experience while working with us. Doug decided to check us out, and he contacted us for a FREE estimate. We were happy to send one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his problem and provide a solution. Chad developed a thorough waterproofing plan for his crawl space that would permanently keep the space clean and energy efficient. Doug was happy with the proposal, so they scheduled a time for our crew to do the install.

Our production team installed drainage matting, a SmartDrain, our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and TerraBlock. The combination of these waterproofing products protect the space from losing energy, moisture accumulating, and the potential of mold growth. The project only took a day to complete, and this solution will last for the lifetime of the home. Doug is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his home, and the cost savings that come with having an energy efficient space.
