Before & After Photos

A home in Oakville, Ontario, had problems at the at the front of the home. The front step had sunk about 1.5” causing a large trip hazard with the patio. The drop made the step up to the patio larger than regulation and was an eyesore. The customer had bad knees and would struggle to get up the step. The customer was also dissatisfied with the aesthetics of the gap and wanted to get it fixed.

The customer called Clarke Basement Systems and spoke to John DiNicolantonio, the Project Lead, who explained everything that would be done. The Canadian Concrete Leveling Foreman, Billy McKeown, drilled small, dime sized holes through the concrete and injected our PolyLevel polyurethane underneath the slabs. Our PolyLevel polyurethane System is injected beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs. Our expanding PolyLevel polyurethane is compress the substrate and lift the concrete to ensure the area is protected from further settlement. We were able to use the expansion of the polyurethane to lift the walkway to protect them from further settlement and eliminate trip hazards. The customer was satisfied that we could correct the sunken concrete without having to rip and replace the current steps. 

There are times when keeping our home safe requires extra help. We want to be able to repair everything ourselves. In most cases, doing it yourself is out of the question.

An elderly homeowner in Caledon, Ontario, realized her front steps were sinking. She was extremely worried the steps were becoming a dangerous trip hazard for her and visitors that would drop by. She knew she needed to call a professional company to fix the steps correctly but had no idea who to call.

After seeing one of our videos on Instagram, the homeowner decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling. She met with Project Manager Joe McColl. He inspected the concrete steps and explained how our PolyLevel® System could lift and level them within a matter of a couple of hours. Feeling more at ease about finally getting the steps fixed, she got excited for the day the crew would arrive. She would be able to watch the work in progress!

Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled dime-sized holes in the bottom portion of the steps for the injection ports. As Kyle pumped our PolyLevel® product under the concrete, the homeowner watched the steps lift right in front of her eyes. Once the steps were level, Kyle patched the holes with fresh concrete.

The homeowner is thrilled the steps were safe to use again. She is so thankful for all of the hard work Joe and Kyle performed on her behalf. Watching the crew in action gave her complete peace of mind – she knew she wouldn’t have to worry about tripping on them anymore.

Uneven concrete walkways always pose safety issues. The concrete walkway at a home in Bolton, ON, was sinking along the front and side of the house. Tripping hazards were everywhere. The sinking concrete was also affecting the patio – it was starting to crack. The homeowner wanted to find a solution quickly for the walkway. Not only did he want to keep his family safe, but his parents also lived in the house, and he didn’t want them to worry about using the walkway or the patio.

The homeowner found Canadian Concrete Leveling and gave us a call. Our Project Lead went to speak to the homeowner and explain how our PolyLevel Injection System could fix the walkway and patio permanently. Our Foreman, Kyle McKeown, and installation team set up the PolyLevel equipment and injected polyurethane through dime-sized holes in the concrete walkway and patio. The polyurethane lifted and stabilized the concrete in both places – the entire area was level once again.

The homeowner was excited the walkway could be used again safely for everyone in the house. He was surprised the PolyLevel system could be installed so quickly within a few hours.

As we grow older, things we used to not worry about start to become possible safety hazards.

In Kleinburg, Ontario, a customer reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling to deal with his sinking front steps. His elderly parents were starting to struggle walking up the incline, and he was concerned it was only a matter of time before someone fell.

Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the homeowner and addressed his concerns. Paul explained how our PolyLevel® System uses high-density polyurethane to lift sinking concrete while stabilizing the soils below.

Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled dime-sized holes in the concrete surface to use as injection ports for the polyurethane. As the polymers mix, they expand, lifting the step back to a safe height.

The customers can’t believe how fast the repair was. Our crew was finished in half a day’s work, and the homeowner is looking forward to having his parents over again.

What was once a drop, is now level. One of our Installation Foreman's, Kyle McKeown, installed PolyLevel® to raise and stabilize these stairs. Now, our clients no longer have a trip hazard in the back of their mind.
