Before & After Photos

A homeowner from St. Paul, MN, had noticed a part of his concrete walkway was beginning to sink, slowly separating from the other slabs, creating a tripping hazard. Not wanting anyone to fall victim to the uneven concrete, he decided to begin the search for a company that could help with the issue. After seeing American Waterworks vehicles and yard signs around his neighborhood, he decided to give us a call and set up his FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Canon T, headed out to the home a few weeks later. 

Once Canon completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that while sunken can become a nuisance, American Waterworks could address the issue with our PolyLevel lifting and leveling. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected underneath concrete, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. Canon said that our team finished this installation with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete to prevent moisture from getting below the slab, potentially compromising the slab. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Ryan, and his team made quick work of the lift. Once the job had been completed, our homeowner was thrilled to know he no longer had to worry about trip hazards forming! 

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was dealing with deteriorating curb appeal in the front of her home. Her concrete walkway had been sinking away from the front concrete stairs for years and had created an eyesore and a nasty trip hazard. The homeowner didn't want the deteriorating concrete to impact any future resale of the home, so she began her search for a MN concrete repair company and eventually found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home. 

Once Kyle completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to inform her that we could fix the issue using our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and slowly lift sinking concrete back into place. Kyle finished by saying that when our team completed the lift, we would finish the project by installing our NexusPro. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent moisture from getting below the slab to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Pat B, and his team completed the lift and level with no complications. Now our customer can enjoy her upgraded curb appeal without worries of trip hazards!

John H. of Maplewood, MN was tired of having sunken steps on his front porch. He saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our concrete repair solution. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, to his home to inspect his concrete problem and design a solution. Kevin assured him that we could have his steps raised and leveled within a matter of hours by using our PolyLevel injection. John was happy to hear this, so he set a date for the injection.

Our concrete repair experts, Jared Wroblewski and Trevor Ellingson, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where the foam needed to be injected. They injected the foam until the steps were raised and leveled back to their original position. John is glad he found a concrete repair solution that is a faster, durable and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. The process only took a couple of hours, and now John and his family are able to enjoy a beautiful front porch for years to come!

Timothy M.'s front steps and sidewalk were cracked and uneven, making him want to consider his home's value. He got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Michel. Michel went to Timothy's home and carefully inspected the concrete. Michel proposed our PolyLevel and NexusPro to repair Timothy's concrete. He was confident in our proposal, so he moved forward with the process.

Our Foreman, Troy, and his team injected 190 pounds of our PolyLevel and 15 feet of our NexusPro. Our PolyLevel is a special foam that lifts concrete and stabilizes the surface. Along with that, it also cures within 15 minutes of injection and is waterproof, unlike mudjacking. Our NexusPro is a unique sealant that gives the concrete a neat appearance and prevents moisture from invading the soil beneath the concrete. To complete the project, Troy performed a final walkthrough with Timothy to ensure he was happy with the project.

A homeowner from St. Paul, MN got in touch with us when he noticed that his floor over his crawl space was beginning to slope inwards. Concerned that the issue might be tough to fix, the homeowner got in touch with us to see if we could help. We set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Daniel, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Daniel completed his inspection, he let the homeowner know that he was experiencing slopping floors because the beams that held up the ceiling of the crawl space had been compromised. Daniel went on to say that water intrusion had led the wooden beams to rot. He explained that he had a few options to restore the stability of the crawl space and ensure that water intrusion would be a thing of the past. Daniel laid out his plan and started by recommending our SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizers to address the sloping. He informed the homeowner that our SmartJack is an adjustable supplemental support beam specifically used for sagging crawl spaces, as it can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, these beams do not develop rust, and remain adjustable for years should you need to perform future adjustments. Next, he recommended using our Crawl Space Waterproofing systems, a combination of crawl space vapor barrier, crawl space drainage matting, and our SmartPipe drain. Daniel explained that these products work hand in hand to eliminate unwanted water from the space and provide a healthy, clean, and insulated crawl space. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his team began the process by installing 14 of our SmartJacks throughout the crawl space of the home. Next, they laid 776 sqft of drainage matting and another 1040 sqft of vapor barrier throughout the space. Now that the job is completed our homeowner is elated to know he no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his home!
