Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company in Rochester, MN

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, got in contact with us when she began to notice that her front concrete steps and concrete patio were beginning to separate, creating a trip hazard. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she decided to research companies in the area that offer concrete repair services. After finding a few options online, she decided to give American Waterworks a call and claim her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate, headed out to her home to see what could be done. Once he completed his inspection he informed the homeowner that while the problem may seem large, the fix could be fairly simple and non-invasive. Nate explained that American Waterworks utilizes the most modern and effective lifting solution, PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected underneath sinking concrete slabs, slowly lifting the slabs back into place. He went on to say that as an added layer of protection, our team then installs our NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the joints and cracks in the concrete to prevent any unwanted elements from getting underneath the slab, potentially compromising the lift. The homeowner was delighted to know that the fix was simple and agreed with Nate's recommendations. 

A few weeks later, on the morning of the project, our Foreman, Jordan, and his team arrived at the home and got to work by verifying the measurements Nate had left behind. Then, he began drilling holes into the concrete slab. Next, he pumped the PolyLevel through the dime-sized holes, carefully monitoring the lifting process to ensure no over-correction was made. When the lift was finished, he went around the perimeter of the concrete and applied our NexusPro. When the project was finished, our customer was relieved to know she no longer had to worry about separating concrete!

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, got in touch with us when she began to notice her concrete walkway separating from the stoop that leads to her front door. Having taken a few tumbles on the uneven concrete herself, she wanted to have the situation corrected to prevent further spills. After doing some digging, she came across our website and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Sales Manager, Jesse, stopped out at the house to see what could be done. 

Jesse took his time evaluating the sinking slab, took measurements, and checked other areas of the concrete surrounding the house. When he completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that sinkage in concrete is normal and could occur for various reasons. He went on to say that the fix is fairly simple, stating that our team would use our PolyLevel Lifting Solution to address the issue. Our PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it is injected under sunken concrete slabs, pushing it upward and back to its original position. After the stoop has been lifted, our team will apply our NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to all cracks and joints on the concrete to ensure nothing gets below the slab, compromising the lift. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy, began the process by verifying the areas of concern with the homeowner. Next, he strategically drilled holes into the sunken slab. Then, he inserted the PolyLevel into the holes, closely monitoring the lifting process to ensure no over/under correction was made. He finished by lining all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro. Now our customer is thrilled to know she no longer needs to worry about trip hazards!

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, was growing more and more frustrated with his sinking driveway. Over the years, he had noticed that the slab was separating further and further away from his home. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he contacted us and we set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Gary, headed out to the property to see what could be done. 

After Gary concluded his inspection, he informed the homeowner that it's not uncommon to see concrete sinking over time. He explained that it could be due to excess rainfall, excess drought, or simply because the soil below the slab wasn't properly compacted when the slab was laid. Nonetheless, he assured our customer we could fix it. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel solution, saying that it is the most modern and effective way to correct sinking concrete. Our PolyLevel solution is a polyurethane foam that expands when its inserted under sinking slabs, slowly lifting it back to it's original position. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks late.r 

Our Foreman, Pat, and his team installed our PolyLevel with no issue. He began by verifying the information Gary had given him, and then got to work strategically drilling holes into the concrete slab. Then, he inserted the PolyLevel into the holes, closely monitoring the lifting process to ensure no over-correction was made. Finally, Pat and his team sealed all cracks and joints of the concrete with our NexusPro to ensure that no elements would find their way under the slab. Once the job was completed, the homeowners were thrilled to know that they no longer needed to be frustrated with sinking concrete!

A homeowner in Rochester, MN was concerned about the concrete stairs leading up to the front door after he noticed how much the bottom step had sunk when he tripped while walking up it. He found a temporary concrete step to place in the large gap while he began his search for a more permanent fix with the help of a concrete replacement company. Looking up "concrete repair MN," the homeowner came across the American Waterworks company website and he realized the job could be completed with our PolyLevel injection rather than fully replacing the concrete. Relieved to hear this, he contacted our appointment center and scheduled a FREE estimate with us. We sent over one of our Design Specialists, Mitch Strain, to take a closer look at the walkway and make his recommendations. Mitch confirmed the homeowner's idea that lifting and leveling the concrete with PolyLevel was the best way to move forward. Once the plans were set and a date for the project was scheduled, they were handed over to our Foreman, Sam Klennert, and his crew. Later they arrived at the site, and they began by drilling small holes throughout the concrete step and inserted ports through them to reach the empty space below the surface. Then, the PolyLevel was injected in the ports to fill the empty space until the step reached its original height. The crew used NexusPro sealant to fill in the holes as well as the joints to eliminate any spaces or gaps in the stairs. Finally, a layer of native sand was spread on top of the sealant for a clean look to conclude the project. The homeowner was happy to be rid of the temporary step and have a hazard-free set of stairs again.

A homeowner in Rochester, MN had dealt with minor cracks and an uneven driveway for a few years. During the winter months when snow had covered the surface, she would have to shovel, and it would get caught on the extreme cracks, making the process difficult and inefficient.
