Expert Foundation Repair, Crawl Space & Concrete Leveling in Saint Croix County

Don G. in Hudson, WI had uneven concrete on his front porch and realized that it had become a trip hazard. He started researching concrete repair contractors and was interested to learn more about the PolyLevel option that American Waterworks offers. He contacted our office and we set up an appointment for a free estimate with one of our Design Specialists. After his estimate he decided that PolyLevel was the best option for him.

We sent one of our PolyLevel experts to his home to install the foam injection. The PolyLevel foam injection is a faster and more affordable alternative to repair concrete. A penny-sized hole is drilled into the concrete and foam is injected where the concrete needs to be raised. Once injected, the foam expands and lifts and levels the concrete. The process only took a couple of hours and Don is pleased that he no longer has a trip hazard on his front porch.

Dan S. in New Richmond, WI had water seeping into his basement. Part of his basement was finished with carpeting and wall paneling; however water was coming through underneath the paneling and seeping through the carpet, causing water damage. He was upset that his property was being damaged and wanted to find a way to fix this and ensure that it would not happen again.  Dan came across American Waterworks in the phone book and gave us a call. Shortly after he contacted us, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to give him a free estimate. After the inspection, Dan agreed that he needed to have a partial waterproofing system installed.

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system on one wall of his basement and a SuperSump sump pump to properly discharge water from the home. We also installed our CleanSpace barrier on that same wall to ensure that water would drain straight down to the WaterGuard and not seep through the paneling. Dan now has peace of mind that his wall is protected from water seeping in.

Dan B. in Somerset, WI noticed that his back patio was sinking. He started researching methods of concrete lifting and came across American Waterworks’ website. He was impressed with our PolyLevel concrete lifting method, so he contacted us for a free estimate. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to create a personalized solution for him. Dan was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is more durable, faster and less invasive than traditional mudjacking.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete patio and injected the polymer foam, which fills the voids underneath the concrete and raises it. Once the concrete is lifted, they filled back they holes they drilled with concrete and clean their work area. The process only took half a day to complete, and now Dan is enjoying a beautiful, raised patio.

Angie from Baldwin, MN had multiple cracked and bowing foundation walls in her basement so she decided to contact American Waterworks to see what types of solutions we could offer for her situation. We sent out a Design Specialist to her home for a Free Estimate to look at her damaged foundation. After a thorough inspection, he determined that wall anchors could repair and strengthen her bowing walls and carbon armor to prevent any further movement on the other cracked walls. 

Our production team started installing the wall anchors by digging out dirt and landscaping from the side of the home. Then they placed long metal rods through the walls and into the soil that surrounded the house. This allowed our crew to tighten the rod at both ends with anchor plates. As the anchors tightened, the walls started to straighten. After installing 11 anchor plates, we then installed 13 strips of carbon armor which stabilizes foundation walls from the inside. Both of these products restored Angie's foundation and put her mind at ease. She was very glad she went with American Waterworks to improve the life and stability of her home. 

Amy C. of Woodville, WI had a damp and musty crawl space that needed to be treated as soon as possible. She saw that American Waterworks helps with crawl space repair so she called us to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough diagnosis, Amy approved of Brian's proposal, so she went ahead and scheduled the installation date. 

Our foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew began the crawl space encapsulation process by cleaning out all of the contaminated waste inside of the crawl space and made sure it was flat to begin the next steps. Next, our crew installed 416 square feet of our CleanSpave Vapor Barrier System around the perimeter, top, and bottom of the crawl space. Our CleanSpace covers uneven or rigid surfaces that prevent all mold, mildew, and humidity from invading any space, and it gives a very clean and bright appearance! Amy was thrilled and grateful that American Waterworks was able to fix her crawl space in a timely manner! 

A male homeowner in Houlton, WI had cracked concrete on his property, and he wanted to get them repaired so moisture wouldn't seep beneath the slab. He contacted our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to his home, carefully inspected the cracks in his concrete, and came up with a solution that worked for him and his budget. He got all of his questions answered about the product qualities and its warranty, so he went ahead with the repairs and scheduled an installation date. 

Our concrete Foreman and his crew member began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowner and answering any last-minute questions that he had. After a thorough introduction, our crew began the installation and applied 114 feet of our NexusPro over the cracks in the concrete. Our NexusPro is a special sealant that prevents moisture from seeping into the soil beneath. The advantages of our NexusPro are its long-lasting duration, it can be installed year-round, and it cures within 60 minutes, compared to other urethane-based products which cures within 24-72 hours. The installation was performed quickly and efficiently, and the homeowner had a great experience from start to finish!

A female homeowner had water leaking from her pre-existing sump pump, causing her to worry about basement flooding during harsh weather conditions. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate for one of our Design Specialists to go to her home and examine the issue. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully inspected the issue, and proposed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump that we offer for homeowners. The homeowner was confident in the product's features, functions, and warranty, so she signed the contract, wrote out a deposit check, and scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete around the existing sump pump and replacing it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which solves all three water problems in one unit and has three levels of water protection. To complete the project, our production crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the basement was neater than when they found it. The homeowner was satisfied with the product and system, and her peace of mind was restored!

A homeowner in Baldwin, WI, found several standing pools of water throughout their basement floor. Knowing this could lead to long-term damage, the homeowner wanted a homeowner to inspect their basement immediately. Almost immediately, our five-star ratings and reviews caught the homeowner's eye. The homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Soon after the estimate was set, Jesse, one of our Design Specialists, was sent to the home. Jesse introduced himself to the homeowner and they showed him to the basement. After a thorough investigation, Jesse determined that additional waterproofing products needed to be installed. Jesse recommended a solution that would solve all their issues. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with the recommended plan. Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew were assigned to complete the project, so they made their way to the home. First, the crew focused on installing the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard and feedline were installed, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is ideal for unfinished basement walls. The crew mechanically attaches the CleanSpace on the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners, so it will never fall off. After CleanSpace is attached, the crew cleans up their material and leaves the home. The homeowner was in awe of the speedy and wonderful work completed by the crew.

A homeowner in New Richmond, WI was enjoying her backyard area and planning landscaping for the summer months. During this, she noticed that her sidewalk leading to the back of her house was quite sunken and many of the slabs were uneven. She wanted to find an easy solution to solve the problem, without having to replace the concrete as a whole. She looked up concrete repair companies that had positive reviews and found the American Waterworks website. Reading about our past work and our happy customers made her interested in our team and services. She decided to schedule one of our FREE no-obligation estimates to learn more. We sent over one of our expert Design Specialists, Kyle Peters, to the home where he carried out a detailed inspection and discussed things over with the homeowner. Kyle explained his plans for a PolyLevel installation in the sidewalk so that it would be lifted back up again. The homeowner was interested in moving forward and agreed to the plans. Foreman Troy Johnson and his crew arrived at the site and began the installation process by prepping the area. They first drilled small holes throughout the sidewalk area and inserted ports to connect to the empty voids below the surface. Next, they filled the ports with our PolyLevel solution to reach the empty voids. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allowed for an accurate leveling of the slabs. Finally, they filled the holes back up and cleaned the area from leftover dirt and debris. The homeowner was excited with the results and happy to have the sidewalk smooth and leveled again.
