Guests Complain About Sinking Front Steps in Richmond Hill, Ontario

When you have company over, the last thing you want is for them to trip and fall before they even make it into your house.

A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling after hearing visitors' complaints about their front steps. The concrete was settling, which created a considerable trip hazard right in front of the main door.

Project Manager Joe McColl travelled to the home and inspected the front walkway. The step was sinking evenly, so Joe determined the cause was poor fill materials. As these soils erode and wash away over time, it makes room for the step to sink. Joe showed the customer a demonstration video of how our PolyLevel® System uses expanding polyurethane injections to lift the steps back to a safe grade.

Foreman Kyle McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. He used these holes as injection ports for our high-density polyurethane. Kyle carefully installed the solution while ensuring the steps lifted evenly. Once the repair was complete, Kyle patched the holes with fresh concrete. 

The customer is happy his guests no longer complain every time they come over. His investment is protected, and he's comfortable knowing our solution comes with a warranty.

Garage Floor Leveled and Sealed, Richmond Hill, ON

A homeowner in Richmond Hill, ON, was very concerned about their concrete garage floor. There was a crack along one side, and it appeared the concrete was sinking. Somehow water was flowing through the crack creating hollow areas or voids under the concrete affecting the integrity of the rest of the floor. The homeowner became very worried the situation would rapidly get worse. The floor needed to be fixed soon as the homeowner was preparing to put the house up for sale.

The homeowner decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling to find out what options were available. Our Project Lead met with the homeowner and discussed the benefits of our PolyLevel® Injection System. Our installation team injected PolyLevel under the garage floor to lift and stabilize the concrete. NexusPro® was also used to seal the crack to prevent water from leaking under the floor.

The homeowner was so happy with the project – the garage floor looked better than they could have ever imagined making the home, and garage, ready to put on the market.

Poor Fill Soils Lead to Brand-New Driveway Sinking in Richmond Hill, Ontario

Building a custom home is an exciting endeavour. Not only are you making a significant life decision, but you also get to build your dream home to your liking.

 A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, had just finished having his custom home built. He added in a beautiful stamped concrete driveway, but the substrate below was never adequately prepared. His brand-new driveway was already sinking, and he wanted to remedy the problem.

Unsure of who to turn to, he called Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. Paul showed the customer how we could efficiently fix his driveway, and a date was set for the repair.

Foreman Bill McKeown used our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane to lift the driveway in several spots. PolyLevel® expands under pressure, raising the slabs and compressing the poorly prepared substrate.

The customer is thrilled that his driveway is fixed. He can finally enjoy his custom home, knowing his driveway is safe and protected.

Pooling Water Threatens Kids at Daycare in Brampton, Ontario

A daycare is more than just a place for kids to go while they’re parents are busy. Kids learn how to interact with others and enjoy some playtime during their time at daycare too. It’s extremely important that the kids stay safe, and sometimes that requires upkeep outside of normal maintenance.

A daycare owner in Brampton, Ontario, was dealing with sinking concrete right outside of the entrance. Water was pooling there, and whenever the temperatures dropped ice would form.

Looking for a solution to eliminate the chance of ice buildup, the customer reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling. Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the owner and assessed the situation. 

Foreman Kyle McKeown used our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane to lift the concrete slabs back to their original pour height. PolyLevel® is injected as a liquid and then expands beneath the concrete, lifting the slab while stabilizing the soils beneath. 

The daycare owner is thrilled that his establishment is safe once again. The kids can use the walkway without any hazards, and the concrete is protected from further settlement.

Tripping Hazard at Daycare Centre in Brampton, Ontario

Keeping an establishment operating smoothly is the goal of any owner. Whether it’s a recreation centre or a library, it’s crucial to maintain a safe business.

A customer in Brampton, Ontario, operates a daycare service. The kid’s playground is separate from the building, and over the years, the walkway had settled. This created a tripping hazard right where the kids walk every day, so the situation needed to be remedied. 

The daycare owner reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. Paul showed the customer our solutions, and he was happy to hear we had a minimally invasive method that the kids could be walking on in a matter of hours. 

Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled dime-sized holes throughout the concrete to start the repair. He used these holes to inject our high-density polyurethane, PolyLevel®, which lifts the concrete slab while compressing any soils below.

The customer is thrilled that the concrete is repaired. The work comes with a warranty for peace of mind, and the kids can safely use the walkway.
