Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Northwood, IA, noticed the walkway leading to the front of their home was sunken and uneven. Worried this was going to turn into a tripping hazard, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional to provide them with a solution. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our concrete lifting and leveling solutions. After seeing our five-star reviews, the homeowner trusted that we were the best team for their project. Since they were already on our website, 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, Nate. A few days later, Nate traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the concrete. During the inspection, Nate determined the sidewalk was sinking due to settlement and cracking. To prevent this issue from worsening, Nate recommended securing PolyLevel below the sunken slabs. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Nate to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew began by injecting PolyLevel, a polyurthane foam injection solution, below the sunken front steps. Once the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew shifted to replacing the joints with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. Finally, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Waseca, MN was tired of dealing with the state of his sunken concrete walkway. Over time as the slabs had continued sinking, a large gap had formed between the front stoop and walkway. He was worried about people leaving from the front door and losing balance from how deep the step down was. For a temporary solution, he made a homemade third step out of wood, but knew that a permanent solution should be made. During his search online for concrete repair companies he found many positive American Waterworks reviews and was interested in signing up for one of our FREE estimate appointments. We sent Design Specialist Mike Dexter to the home where he inspected the area and gave his recommendations. Mike explained that our PolyLevel solution was the perfect way to lift the sidewalk slabs back up and eliminate the height gap. The homeowner agreed to the plans, and they were approved and sent over to Foreman Patrick Burnes and his crew. When the crew went to the site, they installed the PolyLevel as well as our NexusPro sealant for the joints, resulting in a smooth surface again. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and glad he found our services.

In Avon, MN, a homeowner had cracked concrete around the front porch of his house, causing him to worry about the value and appearance of his home. He did some research on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist went to his home, inspected his concrete, and took note of the areas that need concrete lifting. After reporting his findings to the homeowner,  our Design Specialist began working on a customized solution to repair the concrete slabs. PolyLevel, our foam expanding solution that is designed to lift sunken slabs, was recommended to lift the slabs back to their original position. Along with PolyLevel and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant was recommended to repair the cracks and seal the joints. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by injecting PolyLevel beneath the sunken slabs. Once each slab was lifted and leveled, they applied NexusPro to repair the cracks.

A customer from Belle Plaine, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice his walkway leading up to his house was sinking, creating a sizable gap between the stair and the walkway. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, headed out to the property to assess the issue. When completed, he let our customer know that the reason the concrete was sinking was due to faulty soil underneath. He informed him that this could be due to excessive heat, water intrusion, or poorly compacted soil from when the home was built. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel injection to correct the problem. Our Design Specialist explained that this modern approach utilized an expanding polyurethane foam to raise the slab back to its original state. He went on to say that this method is far less invasive than alternative remedies. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, began the process by drilling strategic holes into the concrete walkway. Next, he injected the foam into the hole and closely monitored the lifting process, making sure the slab returned to where it should be. 

Once completed, our customer was happy to know he had eliminated the gap and could go back to safely using his concrete slab! 

A homeowner in Clarks Grove, MN, was struggling with her sunken driveway. It had become a challenge for her to get in and out of the garage with her wheelchair because of the large bump. She stopped by the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and was pleased to learn about our concrete repair solutions. Our Design Specialist went to her home to inspect her concrete, develop the right solution for her situation, and provide her with a FREE estimate. She enjoyed working with our Design Specialist and was eager to have her concrete raised, so she scheduled to have our crew come out as soon as possible.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where the driveway needed to be raised. Then, they injected a polymer foam called PolyLevel, until it was raised to be even with the garage floor. Lastly, they filled the holes with concrete and sealed the cracks in the driveway with our NexusPro sealant. The sealant helps to protect the concrete and also gives it a nice, finished look. The process only took a couple of hours, and the homeowner was amazed with the finished product! She was impressed with how polite our crew was and how quickly they completed the project. She is very happy she chose American Waterworks to repair her concrete!
