Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Saint Cloud, MN

A homeowner in St. Cloud, MN, had noticed that the concrete around their front walkway and driveway had begun sinking, causing the area to become uneven and bumpy. Knowing the issue would continue, the homeowner decided it was best to fix it and began looking into concrete contractors around the area. After finding our website and becoming impressed by our stellar reviews and before-and-after photos, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Specialist to schedule their FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, one of our experienced Design Specialists arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the problem areas. After taking a close look at the concrete and identifying the problem as soil washout our Design Specialist reported his findings to the homeowner and explained that soil washout is the process where water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils. Over time, this causes gaps in the soil, and the slabs would begin to sink. To effectively tackle this issue, our Design Specialist created a proposal tailored to the homeowner's issue and budget. In that proposal, our Design Specialist recommended lifting the concrete slabs using PolyLevel, our high-density polyurethane formula that is designed to lift sinking concrete slabs, and using NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that is both long-lasting and flexible, to seal the joints and repair any cracks that have formed. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner knew they did not want to go through the troubles of mudjacking or slab replacement and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Jordan S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs. Then, PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab, filling in the voids and compacting the soil before lifting the slab. Once the slabs have been lifted to the desired height and it is level, the crew seals the holes and shifts their attention to applying NexusPro. NexusPro was applied along the joints of the walkway and driveway, and one of the cracks on the driveway. After the successful installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in St. Cloud, MN had grown concerned when he noticed that his current sump pump has been making strange noises during storms. Unsure of how to check their sump pump, the homeowner began looking into waterproofing services in St. Cloud, MN and found us. The homeowner then contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE basement waterproofing estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. During his inspection, he tested the sump pump and looked out for any signs of water damage. He found water stains along the corner of the basement and learned that the sump pump is no longer functioning correctly. For this reason, Daniel recommended installing WaterGuard, our drainage system that collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it to the sump pump, SuperSump, our reliable sump pump system, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. After looking over Daniel’s proposal, the homeowner was confident that the products would fix his basement issues and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived for the installation. The crew began by drilling along the edges of the floor where WaterGuard would be placed, and drilling a sump pit. After this, clean gravel is poured at the edges and WaterGuard is placed on top. The crew installed 12 ft of WaterGuard. Next, they installed the SuperSump and IceGuard and ensured that everything was hooked up properly. After the successful installation, the crew restored the flooring, cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

This was no small issue, as water seepage can compromise the integrity of a home and promote unhealthy living conditions. Our team at American Waterworks quickly scheduled a FREE home inspection following the homeowner's inquiry, positioning us to understand the full scope of the challenge at hand.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., conducted a thorough assessment. The problem was clear: an inadequate existing drainage system was unable to handle water infiltration.

This system efficiently channels water to the SuperSump, a reliable sump pump optimized for high-volume water evacuation. Backup readiness was ensured by integrating the IceGuard system, which permits water discharge even if the pipe freezes—a vital consideration for the cold St. Cloud winters.

Debbie from Saint Cloud, MN had several bowing walls in her basement, so she called the office staff at American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out a Design Specialist to her house to figure out what solutions would be best to fix her current situation. After an in-depth inspection, our Design Specialist determined that wall anchors and power braces would repair and straighten her walls, as well as prevent any further movement.

Our production team started installing the wall anchors by digging out small holes from the side of the home parallel to where the cracked walls were. They installed long metal rods through the walls and into the soil that surrounded the house, which enabled our crew to tighten the rod at both ends with anchor plates. The walls started to straighten as the anchors tightened. After the installation of 12 anchor plates, we installed four power braces to reinforce the foundation walls from the inside. After everything was completed, Debbie was happy she went with American Waterworks to enhance the quality of her home.
