Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Northwood, IA, disliked the appearance of their cracked and uneven concrete. Knowing they needed a professional solution, the homeowner looked into "professional concrete repair near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks, after seeing our PolyLevel lifting and leveling services. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brad. Brad promptly arrived at the home and thoroughly inspected the surrounding concrete. During his inspection, Brad discovered that several slabs were sinking and cracking due to settlement. To prevent the issues from continuing, Brad recommended leveling and repairing the damaged concrete. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Brad sent the proposal to our Logistics team to finalize and schedule the project. Our Logistics team scheduled the project for a few weeks later. Once the project date arrived, our crew traveled to the home to begin. First, the crew started by installing PolyLevel underneath the damaged sidewalk. Once the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew shifted their focus to repairing the several cracks with NexusPro. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair their customer's damaged concrete. 

A homeowner in Waseca, MN was tired of dealing with the state of his sunken concrete walkway. Over time as the slabs had continued sinking, a large gap had formed between the front stoop and walkway. He was worried about people leaving from the front door and losing balance from how deep the step down was. For a temporary solution, he made a homemade third step out of wood, but knew that a permanent solution should be made. During his search online for concrete repair companies he found many positive American Waterworks reviews and was interested in signing up for one of our FREE estimate appointments. We sent Design Specialist Mike Dexter to the home where he inspected the area and gave his recommendations. Mike explained that our PolyLevel solution was the perfect way to lift the sidewalk slabs back up and eliminate the height gap. The homeowner agreed to the plans, and they were approved and sent over to Foreman Patrick Burnes and his crew. When the crew went to the site, they installed the PolyLevel as well as our NexusPro sealant for the joints, resulting in a smooth surface again. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and glad he found our services.

Alex D. had cracked concrete around the front porch of his house, causing him to worry about the value and appearance of his home. He did some research on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. He called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, inspected his concrete, and came up with a solution that he was happy with. Alex got all of his questions answered so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, and his crew member applied our NexusPro on the cracks around the front porch. Our NexusPro is a long-lasting sealant solution that prevents moisture from seeping into the soil beneath the concrete. It is a silicone-based sealant that provides flexibility and can stand up to harsh weather conditions. Alex was happy with the results and enjoyed watching the transformation! 

A customer from Belle Plaine, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice his walkway leading up to his house was sinking, creating a sizable gap between the stair and the walkway. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, headed out to the property to assess the issue. When completed, he let our customer know that the reason the concrete was sinking was due to faulty soil underneath. He informed him that this could be due to excessive heat, water intrusion, or poorly compacted soil from when the home was built. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel injection to correct the problem. Our Design Specialist explained that this modern approach utilized an expanding polyurethane foam to raise the slab back to its original state. He went on to say that this method is far less invasive than alternative remedies. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, began the process by drilling strategic holes into the concrete walkway. Next, he injected the foam into the hole and closely monitored the lifting process, making sure the slab returned to where it should be. 

Once completed, our customer was happy to know he had eliminated the gap and could go back to safely using his concrete slab! 

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!
