Before & After Photos

Joe and Carolyn of Oelwein, IA, had begun to notice that the stairs and adjoining porch in front of their home were beginning to sink. The couple was worried that if the problem was left unresolved, the gap forming between the stairs and the home would only worsen, creating a bigger trip hazard and a bigger, and more expensive, problem to fix later down the road. They came across our services and decided to get in contact with us to see what could be done. When they called in, set them up with one of our FREE estimates, and our Design Specialist, Tim, was able to go out to the property and do a thorough inspection. Once he concluded, he was able to inform Joe and Carolyn that they were experiencing this issue because the soil beneath the slabs was sinking because of excess rain or heat, causing the soil to shrink. He recommended the couple fix the issue quickly to avoid any further issues down the line. He recommended they use our PolyLevel injection to raise the concrete back to its former state and follow up with our NexusPro to seal the joints connecting the slab and the home and to seal off any remaining holes or points of entry for water. Our Foreman, Jake, and his crew began the project by strategically drilling holes into the problem concrete slabs. Next, they injected the foam into the holes, paying close attention to the slab as it was lifted. Finally, they sealed off any remaining holes with the NexusPro. 

When the job was complete, Joe and Carolyn were happy they no longer had to worry about trip hazards forming! 

Angie, a homeowner in Rochester MN, called us after having trouble with another local concrete leveling contractor.  They collected her money and never showed up to do the work.  American Waterworks was more than happy to step in and level off their sunken stoop.  

A homeowner in Rochester, MN contaced us with concerns about two slabs between the driveway and the front door that were causing a trip hazard as guests were entering their home.  American Waterworks installed PolyLEVEL injections to restore their walkway. PolyLEVEL is a long-lasting, noninvasive solution. Now, their concrete is even, safe to use and beautiful.

Trudy J. from Rochester, MN noticed her stoop had sunk a couple of inches and it had created a trip hazard. American Waterworks was able to successfully raise the concrete back to its original position by injecting our PolyLevel foam. Once the concrete had been raised, we filled the cracks with our Nexus Pro sealant to protect the concrete and prevent further shifting.

Eric O. in Rochester, MN had a sunken porch that caused a large crack in the brick on the front of his home. Although it wasn’t hindering his foundation yet, it wasn’t aesthetically pleasing, and it bothered him that his porch was uneven. He discovered American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our concrete repair, so he called us for a free estimate and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Don Mancilman, to his home to assess the situation and find a solution. Don was able to design a plan to raise his stoop which would in turn close the gap in the brick wall. Eric liked Don’s proposal, so they set a date for the concrete to be repaired.

One of our concrete repair experts, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into his porch to inject the PolyLevel foam. Next, he injected the foam until the slab was raised and leveled, which closed the crack in the brick wall. PolyLevel is a faster, durable and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. The process is non-invasive and only took a couple of hours to complete. Eric is glad he found a concrete repair solution that was the right fit for him. He is glad he will now be able to enjoy a raised and level stoop for years to come.
