Before & After Photos

A homeowner had always enjoyed sitting on his back patio area during the warmer spring and summer months in Albert Lea, MN. Unfortunately, a large crack had developed over the last few years and had progressively gotten worse. Not wanting to have the issue last another year or become a tripping hazard, the homeowner began his research on businesses in the area to solve the problem. During his search he came across the name American Waterworks and was intrigued by our FREE estimate services. He scheduled his no obligation appointment and was greeted later by our Design Specialist, Nate Bernard. Nate suggested the installation of PolyLevel, to lift and level the sunken concrete and NexusPro, to seal the crack and smooth the surface. The homeowner agreed to the plan and the installation process started weeks later by our Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew. They were able to perform successful installations resulting in a crack free surface and a happy homeowner.

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, had grown concerned for her driveway as it was uneven and formed large cracks. She was worried this would be a tripping hazard for her friends and family, so she decided to search for "Concrete repair services near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, she was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Tony B., arrived at the home and conducted a thorough inspection of the driveway. He informed the homeowner that those issues were common due to soil washout. When it rains heavily or floods, water moves through the ground under the concrete slabs. It then washes away the support soils holding up the concrete and creates space underneath the slab. As this continues, the concrete begins to sink and eventually leads to cracks in one or more parts of the slab. For this reason, Tony recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete, NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints, and SealantPro to protect the surface. The homeowner was thankful for his explanation and decided to move forward with the project. Tony's design was then sent to our Foreman, Ryan T., to apply the sealant and Sam K. to lift the concrete and seal the joints and cracks. 

In about a month, Ryan T. and his crew arrived at the home to apply the sealant. Our SealantPro is designed to protect the concrete from water, gas, and oil from penetrating the surface. Once Ryan and his crew were done with the application, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived to carry out the rest of the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the concrete slab and installing the injection ports. Once the injection ports were installed, they injected PolyLevel beneath the slab. The crew ensures that the concrete slab is leveled even before sealing the small holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew seals the cracks and joints using NexusPro. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Suzanne P. in Clarks Grove, MN was struggling with her sunken driveway. It had become a challenge for her to get in and out of the garage with her wheelchair because of the large bump. She stopped by the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and was pleased to learn about our concrete repair solutions. Our Design Specialist, Pete Wangen, went to her home to inspect her concrete, develop the right solution for her situation and provide her with a FREE estimate. She enjoyed working with Pete and was eager to have her concrete raised so, she scheduled to have our crew come out as soon as possible.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where the driveway needed to be raised. Then, they injected a polymer foam called PolyLevel, until it was raised to be even with the garage floor. Lastly, they filled the holes with concrete and sealed the cracks in the driveway with our NexusPro sealant. The sealant helps to protect the concrete and also gives it a nice, finished look. The process only took a couple of hours, and Suzanne was amazed with the finished product! She was impressed with how polite our crew was and how quickly they completed the project. She is very happy she chose American Waterworks to repair her concrete!
