Uneven Concrete Walkway Lifted in Rogers, MN

A Rogers, MN, homeowner was preparing his home to put on the market. He was told by realtors that uneven or deteriorating concrete on the property could lower the resale value. Not wanting issues to arise during a sale, he decided to look for a MN concrete repair company. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, headed out to the home. 

After Dave concluded his inspection, he informed the homeowner that American Waterworks could address the sinking with our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, slowly lifting concrete back into place. Dave went on to say that after our team lifts the concrete, they will apply our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro, gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent water from getting to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan, and the work was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Troy W, and his team completed the lift and seal with no complications. Now our customer can confidently sell his home knowing his sunken concrete has been eliminated!

PolyLevel Lifts Garage Apron in Saint Francis, MN

A homeowner in Saint Francis, MN, was enjoying a lovely spring day when they discovered a significant drop between their garage and garage apron. Having a fear of the issue worsening the homeowner searched for professional opinion. After doing extensive research, the homeowner determined American Waterworks was the best option for them. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment details were finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike, to the home to complete the full evaluation of the sidewalk. Following Mike's detailed evaluation, he determined that the garage apron slab was beginning to sink into the soil.

Knowing that this was their best option, the homeowner opted for Mike's plan. The recommended plans were sent to the assigned crew and the projects commenced. Our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew arrived at the home and began by inserting the PolyLevel under the struggling concrete. The crew efficiently the lifting and leveling the sunken concrete by the garage and garage apron. Additionally, the crew lifted and leveled the pad of concrete near the front door of the home. After the crew completed the lifting and leveling process, they cleaned their site and moved onto the next job. The homeowners were relieved to know their concrete is no longer at risk of sinking and is safe for their family. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind. 

Sunken Stoop Raised in Maple Plain, MN

Mark V. in Maple Plain, MN had a sunken front stoop that was sloping downwards towards his house, and one of the steps had sunk a couple of inches. He contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin Beseman, to his home to provide him with a solution. Kevin assured him that we could level and raise his stoop using our PolyLevel foam injection. Mark was pleased to learn that our concrete repair solution is durable, faster, and more affordable than traditional concrete repair, and he moved forward with the installation.

Then, they injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was raised and leveled. Lastly, they filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro crack repair and sealant. The process was non-invasive, and it only took a couple of hours. Mark was impressed with the entire process and is happy he can enjoy a level stoop for years to come!

Unlevel Patio Raised in Maple Plain, MN

A homeowner in Maple Plain, MN, knew it was time to have the patio underneath their deck repaired. They were worried it would affect the stabilization of the deck, so the homeowner began searching for an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner was overwhelmed with all their options, so they asked a local Facebook group for any suggestions. Several of the members recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our company. Once they saw our impressive ratings and reviews, the homeowners knew we were the best company for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate.

Nick completed the entire inspection and determined the concrete was sinking due to soil settlement. Additionally, Nick recommended permanently stabilizing the deck with our piering products. The homeowner agreed with Nick's suggestions, so he forwarded them to our office for the final stamp of approval. After the office approved the plans, they were sent to our Foreman, Dylon and Jesus, and their crews. First, Jesus and his crew traveled to the home to install two Helical Piers underneath the deck. After Jesus and his crew installed the Helical Piers, the crew could shift their focus to repairing the sunken concrete.
