Before & After Photos

Patti N. of Big Lake, MN had sunken and cracked concrete, and she wanted to get it inspected by a professional to see if it could be lifted and sealed. She found American Waterworks, so she scheduled a FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Ben, went to her home, thoroughly took a look at the concrete, and determined a detailed proposal. Patti was confident in Ben's plan, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foremen, Ben K. and Reese, were the crew leaders for the project. On the first day, Reese and his crew member applied our SealantPro on the concrete, which is a special spray that extends the life of the concrete by 3-5 times. On the second day, Ben K. injected our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise the surface and applied our NexusPro over the cracks to seal them closed, as well as to give the concrete a nice, clean finish. Patti was happy with the project from start to finish!

A homeowner in Big Lake, MN, noticed their sidewalk was worsening over time. Knowing they needed the issue resolved, the homeowner began looking for an expert opinion. The homeowner decided to visit NextDoor to see what their neighbors would recommend, and a high response suggested using us, American Waterworks. Soon after, the homeowner decided to visit our website and investigate the services that we offer. Once they saw we offer concrete lifting and level services, the homeowner was on board. We sent one of our Design Specialists to evaluate the concrete. Following their evaluation, the Design Specialist determined that the concrete was sinking due to soil settlement. To stop the settlement from worsening, the Design Specialists suggested that the sidewalk be lifted and leveled with the rest of the concrete. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with the Design Specialists suggestions. Once they received approval, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our crew. After they arrived, the crew began by inserting the PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution, underneath the entire sidewalk.  Once the entire sidewalk was lifted, the crew removed and replaced a few of the joints in the sidewalk. The crew used the NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based solution, to repair these joints and cracks. To finish the project, the crew applied the SealantPro over all of the concrete. Once complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent job completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist the homeowner in accomplishing their home goals.

A homeowner from Northfield, MN, got in touch with us when she noticed one of her concrete slabs in front of her home was beginning to sink, becoming uneven, and creating a trip hazard. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Mitch S, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Mitch finished his inspection, he let the homeowner know we could save her time and money by restoring her concrete using our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected underneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, slowly lifting concrete back into place in the process. Mitch went on to say that once the concrete was lifted, he would like our team to install our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied directly to the cracks and joints of the newly lifted concrete and protects the vulnerable soil below as it's designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the sound of the proposed work and decided to schedule the installation for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Pat, and his team were able to complete the lift, level, and seal of the concrete. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing her uneven concrete has been dealt with! 

Patricia H. in Waltham, MN was tired of dealing with her sunken, uneven driveway and walkway around her home. She contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin Beseman, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique concrete repair solution. Patricia was impressed with our 3 part Concrete Protection System and Kevin’s presentation, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete to inject a polymer foam called PolyLevel. Once the foam is injected into the concrete, the foam expands and raises it. They injected the foam into multiple spots throughout the driveway and sidewalk until the concrete was raised and level to its original position. Then, they sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to protect the concrete and give it a nice, finished look. Lastly, they used our SealantPro to seal the concrete, restoring quality and protecting against UV, weather, oil and water damage for 3 to 5 times longer than other concrete sealants. Patricia was pleased with the results and is looking forward to enjoying her newly restored concrete for years to come!
