Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Austin, MN, had been dealing with a sinking front step for a few years, but had recently learned that uneven concrete can drag down the resale value of the home. Figuring they should get in front of the problem, the homeowner decided to find a concrete raising specialist in Minnesota. When he found our website, he was impressed with our work and positive reviews, so he claimed his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nathan C, headed out to the home. When Nathan arrived, he got right to work measuring the concrete to see how badly it had sunk. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He informed him that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons, and that we could fix it using our PolyLevel lifting and leveling solution to restore the stairs. Nathan explained that PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, slowly lifting the slabs back to their original state. Nathan went on to say that once the concrete had been leveled, he would recommend the application of our NexusPro,  a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout. The homeowner was thrilled with Nathan's plan and decided to move forward with the job.

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team were headed out to the home to restore the concrete. Once the job was done, the homeowner was thrilled with the new and improved look of his concrete! 

A homeowner in Austin, MN, disliked the look of their uneven and cracked walkway. Hoping to avoid total concrete replacement, the homeowner began looking into "concrete lifting and leveling near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so 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, Nathan. A few days later, Nathan arrived at the home and began the estimate. During the estimate, Nathan found several areas that were suffering from settlement. To prevent the issues from worsening, Nathan recommended installing PolyLevel below the sinking slabs. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Nathan to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Patrick and his crew started by inserting PolyLevel below the sinking driveway. Once the driveway was lifted, the crew shifted to filling the cracks and replacing the joints with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its customers peace of mind knowing their concrete was succesfully lifted. 

Wyllie R. in Wayzata, MN had a concrete driveway that was sinking. It had already sunk about two inches below the garage concrete slabs and it was getting worse over time. A friend of his mentioned what a good experience they had working with American Waterworks, so he decided to give us a call for a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to assess his sinking concrete and design a solution. Chad assured him that we could raise and level his concrete within a matter of hours using our PolyLevel foam injection. Wyllie was pleased to hear this, so he scheduled a date for the injection.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into his concrete driveway to inject the foam. Next, he injected the foam until the driveway was once again level with the garage floor. Lastly, he filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. PolyLevel is a durable, faster and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. Wyllie was pleased with the result and how quick the process was. He can now enjoy level concrete for years to come!

A homeowner in Wayzata, MN, worried that their patio needed to be replaced due to growing away from the home. Not wanting the problem would worsen, the homeowner began looking for experts to solve the issue. During their search, the homeowner came across our stellar reviews and decided to give us a chance. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, we sent out one of our Design Specialists investigate the cause and provide a solution for the homeowners. After insepcting the concrete the Design Specialist found that the concrete was sinking into the ground. After finding the root of the issue, the Design Specialist could come up with a plan that would solve all the sinking issue. The homeowners considered all their options, but ultimately decided that they would go with the Design Specialist's plan. As soon as the plans were approved, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of our assigned crew. Upon arrival, our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew began by prepping the appropriate area for repairs. Once ready, the crew began by inserting the PolyLevel, a polyurthane foam injection solution, underneath the sinking patio. Once the PolyLevel was installed, the crew shifted their focus to replacing the joint near the front door. After filling the with the NexusPro Sealant, joint, the crew cleaned up the job site and left the home. The homeowners were in awe of the excellent job completed by the crew.

Joe L. in Rose Creek, MN contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our yard signs in his neighbor’s yard. The sidewalk along his house was settling and guiding water towards the foundation after any rain or melting snow. He was interested in our PolyLevel concrete repair option, and was happy to learn how quick, affordable, and non-invasive it was. 

Our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and Co-Foreman, Chris Schomaker, drilled small holes throughout the concrete slabs that needed to be raised. Next, they injected the foam into the holes until the slabs were raised back to their original position. They covered up the holes with concrete and cleaned up their work area. Joe was impressed with the quick installation and cure time, and his peace of mind was restored knowing that any water was now being guided away from his home.
