Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling Services in Shoreview MN

In Saint Paul, MN, a homeowner encountered the all-too-common issue of an uneven driveway, resulting in a bumpy and potentially hazardous surface. The homeowner realized immediate attention was necessary and reached out to our team at American Waterworks for a reliable solution. We began by scheduling a FREE inspection with one of our skilled Design Specialists.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the concrete. During the inspection, Kyle diagnosed that the uneven surface was due to the settling of the concrete slab, which had created voids underneath. Recognizing the impact this could have on safety and property value, Kyle devised a precise plan to address the problem effectively. He recommended installing PolyLevel, our elite foam expanding solution, to lift the concrete slabs back to their original position. Along with PolyLevel, Kyle also recommended NexusPro to seal the joints where the garage and driveway meet. The homeowner happily agreed to Kyle's recommendations, and Kyle's design was sent to our logistics team to coordinate the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew started by stabilizing, lifting, and leveling the concrete slabs along the driveway. This is done by strategically drilling holes through the slabs in which high-strength polyurethane foam is injected. As the foam expanded, the slabs were gently lifted back to their original level. This technology ensured a stable and long-lasting remedy for the driveway. Next, the crew applied our NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the joint. This advanced sealant prevents water infiltration, which can wash away the underlying soil, and it's resilient to UV rays and extreme temperatures. Once completed, the homeowner was reassured with a driveway that was structurally sound, reflective of our commitment to providing reliable and lasting home improvement solutions. Our ONE TEAM approach proved essential in delivering an efficient service, restoring not just the driveway but also the peace of mind of another valued homeowner.

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, recently learned that a properly insulated crawl space could save up to 20% on energy bills and decided to take a look at hers. She noticed that the insulation had fallen and some parts of the wood had rotted. She decided to look into crawl space encapsulation and found our website. After browsing our website, she decided to schedule her FREE no-obligation estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to inspect the crawl space. Mitch then created a design and proposal with suggestions on how to repair the homeowner's crawl space. Mitch recommended installing our CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that is designed to prevent water from permeating the walls and floor, Drainage Matting, an extremely durable matting that creates a drainage space and thermal break between the ground beneath the crawl space and CleanSpace, and SmartDrain, would drain water away to a dry well under the CleanSpace liner. After the homeowner reviewed Mitch's proposal, she decided to move forward with the project. Mitch's design was then sent to our Foreman to carry out the installation.

In a couple of months, our crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by first installing the SmartDrain and 396sqft of Drainage Matting. Lastly, they installed 480sqft of CleanSpace over the floor and walls. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind her crawl space is properly insulated! Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed their sidewalk slabs were beginning to overlap. Worried this issue would worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. Knowing they could not complete the project themselves, the homeowner began looking into “sunken concrete repair near me”. At the top of the list stood us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best concrete lifting and leveling in their area. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Tony, to take a closer look. Tony promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the sidewalk. Tony confirmed the sidewalk was sinking into the ground and needed to be lifted back into place. The homeowner agreed with Tony’s proposal and decided to go along with it. Next, Tony passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and approve the project. Our Logistics team finalized the project’s details, then scheduled it for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew traveled to Shoreview to lift the sidewalk. First, Patrick and his crew lifted the sidewalk with PolyLevel. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. Once all the products were secure, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their sidewalk was properly lifted and leveled back into place.
