Sinking Walkway Threatens Employee Safety in Brampton, Ontario

Safety is always on the mind of an employer. Ensuring your employees are safe while they’re working is extremely important, and sometimes steps need to be taken to prevent injuries.

A customer in Brampton, Ontario, manages a building that produces pet food packaging. We had done work for them in the past, so they brought us back to deal with a few more issues. The concrete walkway surrounding the building was sinking in several spots, and an employee even tripped. 

Concerned for their employee’s well-being, the company reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. The manager was already familiar with our services and showed Paul the spots that needed repair.

Foreman Bill McKeown injected our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane at different spots in the concrete to raise the walkway evenly.

The customer is pleased once again with the work done by Canadian Concrete Leveling. His employees can use the path again safely, and the work was done in a timeframe that didn’t affect their work-flow.

Tripping Hazards Surround Commercial Building in Brampton, Ontario

Maintaining a commercial property takes a good amount of upkeep. These buildings sometimes employ hundreds of people, so keeping the building safe is essential.

A maintenance manager in Brampton, Ontario, was dealing with a walkway that had settled. There were numerous tripping hazards, and an employee had even taken a fall. 

Looking for a solution that wouldn’t interfere with the building’s operation, the manager reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling. Project Manager Paul Mendell inspected the walkway, and the manager showed him which slabs needed to be lifted. 

Foreman Bill McKeown used our PolyLevel® system to lift and level the concrete back to its original pour height, eliminating the tripping hazards.

The customer is thrilled that the work was done so quickly and effectively. His employees are now safe, with no risk of tripping.

Sinking Concrete Creates Slippery Winter Entryway in Brampton, Ontario

When you see what looks like a major repair at your home, your mind can sometimes go to the worst-case scenario. If it’s something you’re familiar with, you know what the repair cost might be, but many don’t know where to turn in terms of sinking concrete.

In Brampton, Ontario, a customer reached out to us after growing tired of dealing with a sinking side walkway that created a considerable trip hazard. Water pooled right in front of the side door, and in the winter, the entry was unusable. He worried he would have to rip out and repour the entire slab but was presently surprised after meeting with Project Manager Danny Dos Santos.

Danny inspected the area and described how water could wash out soils beneath concrete, leading to sinking. Then, he explained how our PolyLevel® System works, using expanding polyurethane injections to lift the concrete while compressing foil materials below. Danny also showed him our NexusPro® Sealant, which prevents water from seeping through any seams. The customer was relieved and quickly set up a date for the repair.

Foreman Bill McKeown started by drilling dime-sized holes in the surface to use as injection ports. Next, he lifted the slab back to a safe height, ensuring that water would drain away from the door. Once we sealed the seam with NexusPro®, Bill finished the repair by patching the injection ports with fresh concrete.

The customer is thrilled he decided to reach out to Canadian Concrete Leveling. He was impressed with the speed of the repair and appreciated the hard work from everyone involved.

Small Hazard Fixed Before it Worsened, Brampton, ON

A home in Brampton, Ontario, had a pool deck that was sinking in various areas. The sinking concrete created various trip hazards around the pool and needed to be taken care of immediately so the the concrete would not continue to sink.

The customer called Clarke Basement Systems and the Canadian Concrete Leveling team went to fix the problem. John DiNicolantonio explained the process that would be done to the pool deck. Billy McKeown and the team injected PolyLevel polyurethane beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs. The polyurethane followed the path of least resistance underneath the concrete to fill all of the voids and then expanded. We were able to use the expansion of the polyurethane to lift the pool deck to protect them from further settlement. The customer was satisfied that we were able to remove the trip hazards around their pool deck without making a complete mess of their backyard. 

Long-Time Homeowner Needs Help With Sinking Garage Floor

Garage floors tend to have voids or spider cracks throughout, but this home in Brampton, Ontario, had started sinking dramatically. The sinking on one side split the entire floor horizontally, which intrigued the homeowner of 40 years to call our team. Since the concrete was thick, he wanted to find a solution that would not involve gutting all of it only to re-pour more. We sent our Project Manager, Paul Mendell, to the home to find the best solution to tackle this sinking driveway. He recommended we inject our PolyLevel® injection system evenly to avoid cracking, safely lift the driveway, and give it the original slope it had previously. Regarding the crack, Paul showed the client our NexusPro® sealant, which can be colour-matched for a more pristine look. The homeowner's response was incredible. His face lit up with joy, knowing that our method would save him a lot of money, and he could already visualize the clean work that our crew would do. 

 

On a later date, our crew, consisting of Foreman Bill McKeown, and Specialist Nestor Cabrera, came to the home and began the garage floor transformation. The approach was to inject bits and pieces amongst 16 injection points to lift the garage floor evenly and prevent spiderweb cracks from forming. Within no time, the garage floor was achieving the desired slope Bill was looking for and the homeowner was already amazed by the effortless lifting the PolyLevel® had done. The final treatment to the floor was sealing the big crack and dividing the concrete into two segments. Nestor started buffing the fracture to prep the Nexus. Bill followed right behind with the colour-matched material and smooth it out to sit flush with the rest of the concrete. The results were immaculate.
