A homeowner in Rochester, MN, was dealing with a cracked and sinking front step. Not wanting to sacrifice curb appeal and safety any longer, she decided to begin the search for a company in the area that could help fix the issue. She found the American Waterworks website and took advantage of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home.
Once Nate finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Nate explained that concrete could sink for various reasons but that American Waterworks could combat her sinking slabs with the help of our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that we finish our installations with the application of our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent any unwanted moisture or debris under the slab. The homeowner liked the sound of the work, and the job was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later.
On the day of the project, our Foreman, Troy, was able to complete the lift and seal the cracks and joints. Now our homeowner can enjoy her upgraded, and safer, front steps!

A Rochester, MN, business owner was growing concerned over his front walkway. It had been sinking over the years and was now beginning to form large cracks, resulting in large trip hazards. He didn't want anyone to take a tumble, so he began to look for local concrete repair companies. When he found our website, he signed up for our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home.
After Nate concluded his inspection appointment, he met with the business owner to deliver his recommendations. He informed the owner that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel. He explained that PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, and in the process, slowly lifts the slabs back to their original place. Nate went on to say that he wanted to preserve the newly lifted concrete with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete and is specifically designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions, meaning the vulnerable soil underneath the concrete is protected. The business owner agreed with Nate's recommendations and scheduled the project for several weeks later.
On the day of the project, Sam, our Foreman, and his team were able to complete the lift and seal with no issues. Now, our business owner can feel confident in his front walkway!

A homeowner in Rochester, MN was concerned that his sinking steps were settling on one side causing it to be uneven. Wanting to address the issue immediately rather than waiting, the homeowner decided to look into concrete lifting in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was extremely impressed with our before and after photos and decided to schedule her FREE estimate.
In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Brad W., arrived at the home to answer any questions the homeowner had and to conduct a thorough inspection of the concrete. During his inspection, he explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of settling concrete slabs is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils. For this reason, Brad recommended our PolyLevel to lift the walkway and steps, and NexusPro, to seal the joints and repair the cracks that have formed. After reviewing Brad's proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.
In about a month, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slab and installing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected, expanding beneath the slab and filling in the gaps in the soil. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is even before sealing the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints along the walkway. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, was concerned that the walkway and steps for the front of his house had become a trip hazard. Knowing the issue must be addressed, the homeowner began searching for concrete lifting in Rochester, MN, and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our before-and-after photos, the homeowner knew we were the right choice and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate.
In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Mitch noticed signs of soil washout. He explained to the homeowner that soil washout is the process in which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slabs upright. Over time, this causes voids in the soil, and the slab would begin to sink. To fix this issue, Mitch recommended installing PolyLevel, our elite foam solution that compacts the soil before lifting the slab, and NexusPro, to seal the joints along the step (not shown in picture). The homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date with our Foreman.
