A homeowner in Rochester, MN purchased a home with a detached garage.  Over time, the garage floor had developed some cracks, and a large section of the concrete broke off and dropped down approximately 5 inches.  

American Waterworks was able to lift the garage floor back to its original position with our trusted PolyLevel system. To make it stand out even more, our crew filled the remaining cracks with NexusPro sealant for a flawless finish.

Stephen S. in Rochester, MN found that his deck had started settling and putting pressure on their home. He was worried about the damage that it was causing to the structure of his home, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to inspect the situation and to find a solution for him. We recommended installing a helical pier under each deck post to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. Stephen agreed that that was the best solution to his foundation problem, so we scheduled an installation as soon as possible. 

Our crew installed 3 helical piers to support the deck and relieve the stress that it was putting on their home. The project took a couple of days, but since our piers are backed with a lifetime warranty, Stephen will reap the benefits of this project for years to come. He is pleased with the work was done and he is glad that he made the investment to protect the foundation of their home.

Dennis T. in Rochester, MN had a dirt crawl space that was accumulating excess moisture and it was causing him to have a higher energy bill. Dennis had used our services before and had a great experience, so he knew he could trust our team to waterproof his crawl space. He contacted us to get a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to his home to provide him with a solution.

Dennis was pleased with the proposal that Dustin developed to transform his crawl space, so he scheduled the installation.

One of our waterproofing experts, Juan Pena, and his crew installed drainage matting on the dirt crawl space floor, Foamax along the crawl space walls, and our CleanSpace barrier to seal off the space from dirt, excess moisture and pests. The Foamax walls insulate the space which makes the basement much warmer and saves Dennis money on his energy bill. Dennis is glad he chose a long-term solution to protect his home from the consequences that typically come with having a dirt crawl space.

Rochester, MN Basement Waterproofing, Foundation repair, and Crawl Space Repair

Water that makes its way into a basement or crawlspace can cause significant damage to Rochester, MN homes. The most common way for water to get into these spaces is by seeping through cracks found in the foundation of a building. Water can even work its way up into a home through openings made for pipes and vents.

Moisture promotes mold growth, and mold is known to cause serious health issues for occupants of a home. Water damage to furniture and flooring can be costly to repair, so it is recommended that Rochester, MN residents be proactive about protecting their homes from water by opting for basement waterproofing services.

Homeowners who are already facing the damage caused by water, settling soils, and other issues can also contact American Waterworks for foundation and crawl space repair services.

Dry out your basement with confidence

While your basement is lined with concrete to help keep moisture out, the soil that is directly below and around your basement contains water that can seep into your home through cracks in the floor and walls.

Many Rochester, MN contractors utilize methods that only work temporarily or come with a high cost. Some of these methods include:

  • Excavation: This method requires the use of a backhoe and involves scooping out the moist soil located around a home. A drainage system is then installed to reduce moisture around the basement. This is a costly, time-consuming method.
  • Interior Drainage: The basement floor needs to be removed for this system to be put in place. Flooring is then relaid on top of the drainage system. A major problem associated with interior drainage is the fact that it can become clogged.
  • Interior Sealants: While this method involves lower costs, exposure to moisture can cause sealants to break down over time.

American Waterworks provides basement waterproofing services to clients in the Rochester, MN area. We use the WaterGuard System to provide exceptional results when it comes to keeping moisture out of your home. This proven system has been developed by the Basement Systems network. 

We also install a wide variety of other Basement Systems products, including sump pumps, dehumidifiers, basement wall options, and much, much more! No matter what water problem you're facing, we have the appropriate basement waterproofing solution.

Concrete lifting and leveling using PolyLevel®, NexusPro, and SealantPro

A weak soil base is a common cause of soil erosion in Rochester, MN made worse with changing seasons.  As the soil shifts, so does any concrete above it, creating uneven, cracked driveways, sidewalks, and concrete paths around your home.

While several common methods, such as slab jacking, slab leveling, concrete lifting, and grout pumping may delay further damage, American Waterworks implements the PolyLEVEL system to ensure that damage is reversed and prevented in the future.

PolyLEVEL works by injecting two fluids into the ground that mix together inside every crevice and void under the affected areas then expand into a high-density foam, binding together any lose ground and raising damaged surfaces to their proper places.

American Waterworks also offers NexusPro and SealantPro for a comprehensive solution for damaged concrete.  NexusPro is an incredibly durable and long-lasting solution for cracked concrete repair. NexusPro is resistant to UV rays and harsh weather, and sets in as little as one hour. SealantPro, our driveway sealing formula, is not available in your local home improvement store and protects your concrete against damage for 3-5 times longer! Call today for a free estimate on amazing PolyLevel® injections, NexusPro or SealantPro applications!

Job Stories From Rochester, MN
Concrete Lift, Level and Seal in Lakeville, MN

Marilyn and Dale from Lakeville, Mn noticed the concrete slabs that are at the entrance of their garage were uneven and started to create a potential tripping hazard. Marilyn and Dale were afraid that if left unchecked the issue may worsen over time. They then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim their FREE estimate, which entitles them to a free home inspection by our Design Specialist. Once the appointment was set, Kyle Peters, our Design Specialist then attended their home and proceeded to conduct a thorough home inspection to obtain a proper diagnosis of the issue and provide a solution that is best suited for the home. After the inspection was complete, Kyle then proposed to Marilyn and Dale that the best solution is to invest in our PolyLevel and NexusPro Solution. They agreed and proceeded to schedule a date of installation. 

 

Our Foreman, Ben Koehler, and his crew then proceeded with the project strategically drilling holes in the problem slabs and injecting the PolyLevel solution. The PolyLevel solution is a polyurethane foam that is injected underneath the concrete slabs filling the voids that were left by soil erosion and stabilizing the concrete slab. Once set and done the crew proceeds to apply the NexusPro Solution to the cracks and joints of the concrete slabs. The NexusPro Solution is a silicone-based solution that seals the joints and cracks and protects the PolyLevel for water and water vapor. The NexusPro Solution is also a tough solution that has a protectant against UV light to prevent the seal from drying and cracking.  

Marilyn and Dale were happy with the finished project and pleased to have a nice leveled driveway!

Basement Waterproofing System Installed in Rochester, MN

Jennifer E. in Rochester, MN had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the damage that it was causing to her home and she was worried that their air quality was compromised, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mike worked closely with Jennifer to create the right waterproofing plan for her home. Jennifer liked the proposal that Mike presented to her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement.

The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home.

Rochester, MN Home with Large Crack in Exterior Brick Wall

Eric O. in Rochester, MN had a sunken porch that caused a large crack in the brick on the front of his home. Although it wasn’t hindering his foundation yet, it wasn’t aesthetically pleasing, and it bothered him that his porch was uneven. He discovered American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our concrete repair, so he called us for a free estimate and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Don Mancilman, to his home to assess the situation and find a solution. Don was able to design a plan to raise his stoop which would in turn close the gap in the brick wall. Eric liked Don’s proposal, so they set a date for the concrete to be repaired.

One of our concrete repair experts, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into his porch to inject the PolyLevel foam. Next, he injected the foam until the slab was raised and leveled, which closed the crack in the brick wall. PolyLevel is a faster, durable and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. The process is non-invasive and only took a couple of hours to complete. Eric is glad he found a concrete repair solution that was the right fit for him. He is glad he will now be able to enjoy a raised and level stoop for years to come.
