Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was not pleased with how his driveway had been looking. Not only were there large cracks in multiple areas of the concrete, but an unevenness between his garage and driveway. Rather than leave it to sit and continue to worsen, he decided to find a business that could help fix the problem. He noticed that American Waterworks, a name he was familiar with, offered a FREE no obligation estimate service for homeowners wanting to walk through a plan before beginning the repairs. The homeowner scheduled his appointment and was greeted weeks later by one of our expert Design Specialists, Mike Dexter. Mike suggested to him that to achieve the desired results, PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane foam to lift the surface, and NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant to fill in extra spaces and cracks, would be the best course of action. The homeowner also expressed that he wanted to add extra protection to extend the lifespan of the driveway after the repairs were done. Mike explained that SealantPro would help permanently protect it from water, dirt, and other contaminants in a single coat. The homeowner agreed to the plans and our Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, along with his crew, arrived at the home to carry out the installations. Pleased with the result of his now sleek looking driveway, the homeowner was happy he chose American Waterworks to take on this project.

A homeowner in Fridley, MN, knew their home needed serious help. Knowing they had an extensive list of issues, the homeowner wanted to find a company that could fix them all. During their hunt, the homeowner came across our website and was impressed with our extensive list of services. Soon after, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the appointment was set, we sent one of our Design Specialist, Jesse, to perform an inspection of the foundation and sidewalk. Jesse arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner, then began the inspection. Following his detailed inspection Jesse found that their foundation was struggling and the sidewalk was sinking. Jesse recommended the foundation be permanently stabilized and the sidewalk is lifted and leveled. The homeowner agreed and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Jordan, and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, the crew focused on stabilizing the foundation with GeoLock anchors. The crew attached five GeoLock anchors on the west wall. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew shifted their focus to lifting and leveling the concrete sidewalk. To lift and level the sidewalk, the crew utilized PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After the crew successfully lifted and leveled the sidewalk, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers with multiple issues in their homes. 

A Blaine, MN, homeowner had been dealing with an issue for a while. His concrete patio was slowly sinking, creating a trip hazard. The homeowner didn't want any more damage to come to his backyard, so he decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo, headed out to the home.

Once Romeo completed his inspection, he delivered his recommendations to the homeowner. He explained that we could address the sinking concrete 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 to slowly lift the concrete back to its desired location. Romeo then said that once the lift is complete, our team would go in with our NexusPro. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that gets applied directly to cracks and joints in the lifted concrete. It works to prevent unwanted moisture from getting below the slab to the vulnerable concrete below. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job to be completed several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy J, and his team headed out to the home and completed the lift and seal with no complications. Now our customers can enjoy their outdoor space without worrying about trip hazards!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed that his back porch had begun sinking, causing the slabs to lean on one side. Worried it would be a trip hazard and that it would get worse, the homeowner decided to address the issue immediately and began looking for concrete lifting in the area. The homeowner found our website and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Romeo V., arrived at the home to answer any questions the homeowner had and to conduct a proper inspection of the porch. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes for settling slabs is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground, underneath the slabs, and washes away supporting soils. As this continues, this leads to voids and gaps in the soil causing the slabs to sink. For this reason, Romeo recommended PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to Romeo's recommendations. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the settling slabs by first drilling small into them and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, expanding and filling in the empty spaces in the soil. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew then seals the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew used NexusPro to seal the joints. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Margaret G. in Blaine, MN had a sidewalk leading up to her stoop that was sinking. She wanted to find an affordable, yet effective way to repair her concrete, so she started to look for a contractor to help her. She heard an ad for American Waterworks on the radio and was interested to learn more about our concrete repair solution, so she called us, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution.

She was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is a faster, more affordable, and durable option compared to traditional concrete repair. One of our PolyLevel experts, Troy Johnson, drilled penny-sized holes in the concrete slab in front of her steps. He then injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was raised to be even with the steps. Lastly, he sealed the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. The process only took about two hours, and now Margaret will be able to enjoy a raised and level front stoop for years to come.
