Sunken Patio Gets a Solution in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was in the process of upgrading his outdoor patio. One obstacle in the way of the revamp was the patio itself. The concrete patio had been slowly sinking for a few years now, and the homeowner was ready to update the space, meaning the concrete would need work. During his search for a company that could help, he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to take advantage of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

After our Design Specialist finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give him our recommendations. Our Design Specialist explained that we could lift the sunken patio using our PolyLevel method. Our PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that we finished our concrete lifts by installing our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro works to keep unwanted debris and moisture away from the slab. The homeowner agreed with the recommendations and the work was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team made quick work of the lift. Now our customer can enjoy their outdoor oasis without worrying about sunken concrete!

Sunken Walkway Leveled in Apple Valley, MN

A homeowner in Apple Valley, MN, was concerned that her uneven walkway was a tripping hazard for her family, so she decided to look into concrete lifting services in the area. She found our website and was impressed with our before and after photos. Confident that we would do the job correctly and efficiently, she decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home and inspected the walkway. Kyle also noticed that the homeowner's driveway apron was uneven, so he told the homeowner that both issues could be fixed using our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints. He also explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a sinking concrete is soil washout. When it heavily rains or floods, the water moves through the ground beneath the concrete slabs. The water then washes out the supporting soils, eventually leading to gaps underneath the slab. The homeowner was grateful for Kyle's explanation and decided to move forward with the project. Kyle's design was then sent to our Foreman, Ryan T.

In about a week, Ryan and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs. Injection ports are then installed, and PolyLevel is injected beneath the concrete slab. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew makes sure that it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew seals the joints with our long-lasting, high-durability NexusPro. After everything was completed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind with her smooth walkway and driveway apron! Are you experiencing something similar? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE

A homeowner from Mahtomedi, MN, noticed that his concrete walkway was showing signs of sinking. His front walkway had almost completely separated from the foundation of his home and had created a trip hazard. Not wanting to compromise safety any longer, he decided to take action. After receiving one of our printed ads in the mail, he decided to set up his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Gary S, headed out to the home. 

Once Gary finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel method.

Uneven Concrete Walkway Gets Restored in Saint Paul, MN

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner was beginning the process of selling his home. But before he could contact realtors, he knew there were several areas of his home that had to be updated to ensure he got the best value for his home. He began with his front concrete walkway, which had been slowly sinking over the years, creating numerous trip hazards and an eyesore. Figuring the easiest way to fix the issue was by ripping out the concrete and repouring, he searched for "concrete replacement near me" and found American Waterworks. He decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, Jesse W, one of our Design Specialists, made a stop out at the home. 

Jesse completed a thorough inspection of the area, and when he completed it, he met with the homeowner. Jesse began by saying that the homeowner was correct to contact us. He explained that, in his opinion, the concrete could be restored at a much cheaper price point than full replacement. He went on to say that he was recommending our PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, and in the process, slowly lifts the sunken slab back to its desired location. Jesse went on to say that, once the lift had been completed, he wanted to utilize our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant goes hand in hand with PolyLevel, as it's applied to the cracks and joints in the newly leveled concrete and works to prevent unwanted moisture from getting to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner, thrilled to know that Jesse's recommendation would not only be cheaper but effective as well, decided to schedule his project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our team, led by their Foreman, Pat B, was able to lift, level, and seal the concrete effortlessly. Now our customer can confidently list his home knowing everything, down to the concrete, is in tip-top shape!
