Before & After Photos

Margaret G. in Blaine, MN had a sidewalk leading up to her stoop that was sinking. She wanted to find an affordable, yet effective way to repair her concrete, so she started to look for a contractor to help her. She heard an ad for American Waterworks on the radio and was interested to learn more about our concrete repair solution, so she called us, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution.

She was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is a faster, more affordable, and durable option compared to traditional concrete repair. One of our PolyLevel experts, Troy Johnson, drilled penny-sized holes in the concrete slab in front of her steps. He then injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was raised to be even with the steps. Lastly, he sealed the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. The process only took about two hours, and now Margaret will be able to enjoy a raised and level front stoop for years to come.

A customer from Minneapolis, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his front walkway was sinking away from his front steps, creating a tripping hazard and pooling water. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk worsening the hazard. When he called in we set him up with our FREE estimate. Once his appointment was scheduled, we sent our Design Specialist, Mike, out to the property to see what could be done. Once he had completed his inspection, he recommended that our customer think of using our PolyLevel solution to lift the walkway. Mike explained that our PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Ben, and his Co-Foreman, Jake, began the process of lifting the walkway by strategically drilling holes into the problem slab. Next, they injected the foam into the holes, making sure to pay close attention to the lifting process to avoid overcorrecting. Once the process was done, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to work about tripping hazards in front of his home anymore! 

A homeowner in Fridley, MN, knew their home needed serious help. Knowing they had an extensive list of issues, the homeowner wanted to find a company that could fix them all. During their hunt, the homeowner came across our website and was impressed with our extensive list of services. Soon after, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the appointment was set, we sent one of our Design Specialist, Jesse, to perform an inspection of the foundation and sidewalk. Jesse arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner, then began the inspection. Following his detailed inspection Jesse found that their foundation was struggling and the sidewalk was sinking. Jesse recommended the foundation be permanently stabilized and the sidewalk is lifted and leveled. The homeowner agreed and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Jordan, and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, the crew focused on stabilizing the foundation with GeoLock anchors. The crew attached five GeoLock anchors on the west wall. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew shifted their focus to lifting and leveling the concrete sidewalk. To lift and level the sidewalk, the crew utilized PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After the crew successfully lifted and leveled the sidewalk, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers with multiple issues in their homes. 

Ted A. of Minneapolis, MN had cracked and uneven concrete around his home and he wanted it repaired to fit his needs. He did some research and looked at our concrete repair projects. After seeing we give FREE Estimates, our Design Specialist, Ben Fort, went to his home to inspect the concrete and come up with a solution. Ted got all his questions answered, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Steven Kundert, injected 71 pounds of our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the surface. Our PolyLevel is a special kind of foam that cures quickly and prevents soil corrosion. Next, Steven applied 48 feet of our NexusPro, which is a sealant that gets applied over the cracks to provide flexibility, stand up to harsh weather, and prevent further cracking. Ted was thrilled with the work and can no longer see concrete cracks from across the street! 

A customer from Minneapolis got in contact with us when he began to notice that his front steps were beginning to sink. He knew that if he left it alone, the issue would continue to worsen, creating a tripping hazard and becoming more costly to fix down the road. When he called in, he claimed his FREE estimate and our Design Specialist headed out to the property. Once there, he completed a thorough inspection into the issue and then made his recommendations as to how we could help. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel injected, followed by sealing the cracks and joints with our NexusPro solution. He explained that the PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that has a quick curing time and is much less invasive than alternative methods. He went on to say that the NexusPro works to seal all cracks and joints to prevent any further water from getting under the slab. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our PolyLevel production team, led by Dylon, began the process by strategically drilling holes into the problem slab. Next, they inserted the PolyLevel and closely monitored the lifting process to ensure the slab returned to its previous state. Once done, the customer was happy to know her tripping hazard had been eliminated!
