Before & After Photos

In Brainerd, Minnesota a homeowner was watching his concrete walkway slowly pull away from his home. Worried that the concrete could sink further, and cause even more damage, he began to look into Minnesota concrete lifting. Through the recommendation of a friend, he called American Waterworks and booked his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Greg G, was headed to the home to evaluate the issue. 

When Greg arrived he began his inspection, paying close attention to areas of concern the homeowner had pointed out. When he concluded, he and the homeowner sat down to discuss his findings. To begin, Greg informed the homeowner that concrete can shift and sink for a variety of reasons such as excess water causing soil washout, extreme heat drying the soil out, or poor soil compaction when the home was built and concrete was laid. He went on to say that American Waterworks could address the concrete sink with our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sunken concrete patios, sidewalks, driveways, and more. As the foam expands it pushes the concrete above back into place, restoring the look and value of your home without the mess and hassle of full replacement. Greg went on to say that, as added protection, he was recommending our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to the cracks and joints in the concrete once the lift is completed. It's specially designed to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up against harsh weather conditions. This means a single application of nexus pro sealant can protect is from the damage caused by soil and compaction and washout. The homeowner was thrilled to know he did not need to replace the concrete around his home, and signed up for the project on the spot. 

About a month later, our Foreman, Bryce P, and his Co-Foreman were at the property lifting the problem slabs. When they had finished, our customer was pleased to know he no longer had to worry about uneven concrete dragging down home value!

In Brainerd, MN, a homeowner noticed multiple cracks along their block foundation wall. Concerned for the stability of their home, the homeowner began searching for basement foundation repair in the area and found us. Impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Nick C., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the foundation, taking precise measurements to see how much it had shifted, and worked closely with the homeowner on a tailored solution that would tackle the issue they wanted to address. He recommended using GeoLock, our wall anchoring system that redirects pressure against the foundation away from the home to stabilize the wall. Happy it comes with a lifetime warranty, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Nanga M., arrived at the home for the installation, where he successfully installed 3 GeoLock wall anchors. Now, our customer can have peace of mind! Looking for foundation repair? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!

Jen S. in Ramsey, MN had a bowing foundation wall in her home and a sinking garage. She visited the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and learned about our foundation repair solutions.

One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, explained our wall anchors and push piers, and how they can permanently stabilize her foundation. She was interested to see if we could solve her foundation problem, so she set an appointment with Shane for a FREE onsite estimate. After Shane inspected her foundation wall and garage, he determined that installing 11 wall anchors on one side of the home and installing 8 piers underneath the garage, would permanently repair and stabilize her foundation. 

She agreed with the plan that Shane developed, so we set an installation date. Once our crew had installed and tightened the wall anchors, Jen was able to see the drastic improvement with the stability of the wall.

The push piers installed under the garage raised the garage and secured the foundation, so Jen will never again have to worry about her foundation settling and the damage that can cause to a home. Jen now has peace of mind because she chose to invest in protecting her most valuable asset.

A homeowner in Anoka, MN, worried about the status of their foundation walls. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner asked a local Facebook group for any suggestions. Several people recommended reaching out to us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. As soon as their appointment was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Rick, one of our Design Specialists. Once Rick arrived at the home, he began his evaluation of the foundation. Following his detailed analysis, Rick recommended stabilizing the foundation walls. After evaluating all their options, the homeowner decided to go with Rick's recommendations. Once they earned the stamp of approval, our Foreman, Luis, and his crew began the foundation repair project. When they arrived, the crew started by installing four PowerBraces on the north foundation wall. Once the PowerBraces were secured into place, the crew attached five CarbonArmor strips onto the same wall. The crew successfully installed all the foundation stabilization products, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation was stable. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

An Anoka, MN, homeowner was making dinner one night when she noticed her kitchen floors seemed to be sagging in a few areas. It occurred to her that her kitchen was directly over the crawl space of the home, and was immediately uneasy about what this could mean for the stability of her home. She took to the internet to find crawl space repairs near Anoka, MN, and quickly found our website. She was impressed by other projects we had done in her area and decided to claim her FREE estimate. 

When our Design Specialist, Nick S, arrived at the home, he was directed to the crawl space to begin his estimate. 

When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. First, Nick explained that the crawl space needed a supplemental beam, and our SmartJack system. He explained that our SmartJack system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. This crawl space support system is unique in that it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner liked the sound of Nick's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his team effortlessly installed 20 ft of Supplemental Beam, and 3 SmartJacks. Now, our customer has renewed faith in her space!
