Alarming Amount of Sinking on Front Steps in Brampton, ON
In Brampton, Ontario, this home's front steps had started to sink over time, making it very hard to navigate for the homeowners. They happened to be elderly, and with the amount of sinking occurring, the steps into the home were almost unusable. They wanted to lift and support their concrete without having to remove them, so they found Canadian Concrete Leveling. Our team of experts specializes in raising and leveling concrete, and this home in Brampton is something we have seen before. Our Project Manager, Danny Dos Santos, went to the home for a further look. He had noticed that the steps were sloping toward the concrete, which is excellent for water running off, but during the winter, when it all freezes, these stairs will become a slippery slide. Another thing that he noted on his walkthrough was that when the steps were sinking, it opened up the gap underneath, which can be very dangerous in the long run, as water can impede and result in more sinking or collapse of the rest of the steps. Danny ensured the homeowners that they were in good hands by showing them our PolyLevel® Injection System. This high-density polyurethane is able to fill any void underneath the concrete and push it back up to its original height with ease. Once the polyurethane transforms from liquid to solid, nothing pushes it back down. The homeowners were relieved by the news that their walkways would be saved and said, "Let's do it!" with a big grin. Our Installation Specialists went to work to save this home. They started off by drilling small dime-sized holes into the points of concern. From there, Russell hammered in injection caps to hold our system in place when leveling. The duo began the leveling process, and you can see the concrete level itself in front of your eyes. From uneven and hazardous to a transformed level walkway, the results were amazing.
Front Walkway Sinking. Homeowners Started to Worry, Brampton ON
A front walkway in Brampton, Ontario had started to sink in many directions, but primarily toward the home. Rainwater was the issue since it would pool up against the house and eat away at the foundation. The homeowners were worried that a more significant problem would transpire if this was not resolved, so they contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling for a professional solution. They've dealt with concrete issues and had to get half of their walkway re-done from cracking and falling apart. Since everything was pristine, minus the sinking, leveling was the best solution rather than replacing it.
Our Project Manager, Paul Mendell, came to the home to recommend products that will level the concrete and protect the house. He suggested our PolyLevel® injection system that will lift the concrete from underneath and angle it so water slopes away from home. The second system Paul mentioned was our NexusPro® sealant, which will keep all water away from entering the joints so the PolyLevel® is protected. The wife explained that she was thankful for finding our team. She did not want to replace the concrete since they'd invested more than enough money on the newer addition; Paul's solution changed her perspective, knowing she would be in good hands. After he created his plan and submitted it to our team, our installation crew headed over to save this walkway. Installation Foreman Bill McKeown and Specialist Nestor Cabrera transformed this walkway from a sinking nightmare to a functional walkway again.

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.
