Sinking Foundation Threatens Small Cottage in Severn Bridge, Ontario
The Trent Severn is one of the most famous waterways in Ontario. Many live directly on the water, while others use it as a channel to get to where they’re going.
The owner of a small cottage resort in Severn Bridge, Ontario, reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling after one of the small cottages had settled. The small building was built on a large concrete slab, and erosion from the nearby waterway had caused the entire building to lean.
Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the customer and inspected the cottage. Paul explained how our PolyLevel® System uses polyurethane injections to lift sinking concrete, and Foreman Kyle McKeown was tasked with the repair.
Kyle carefully injected our solution into dime-sized injection ports through the floor. He used a Zip-Level® tool to ensure the entire floor was lifting evenly. Once the repair was complete, we patched the holes with fresh concrete.
The customer is thrilled with the completed work. He is confident that the building is safe and sound, and he’s ready to sell it to the next eager cottager.
Trip Hazard in Markham, ON
This walkway became a trip hazard for our customer in Markham. Our team at Canadian Concrete Leveling injected Polyurethane under the concrete to lift and level the sinking slabs. The steps and walkway were level with each other again and are a safe entryway in and out of the house.
Back Patio and Side Walkway Lift in Markham, ON
After a torrential downpour of rain, a home in Markham, Ontario had water pooling on the concrete patio at the back of the house. There was also water flowing towards the foundation on the walkway at the side of the house. The homeowner was worried that the water would begin to make its way into the basement causing many other issues.
The Canadian Concrete Leveling team was able to lift all affected concrete by using our PolyLevel® injection. There is no longer a 4-inch drop in the concrete and water will now flow away from the foundation. The customer is left with a safe, usable space and no longer has to worry about water pooling around their home causing damage.
Sinking Concrete Causes a Trip and Fall Accident at Shopping Centre in Toronto, Ontario
As any property manager knows, being in business is no easy task. Whether you manage an apartment building or a plaza, there’s a lot you have to be responsible for. Two of your biggest concerns are damage to one of your properties and the rare, unfortunate case of someone getting hurt.
For a property manager in Toronto, Ontario, sinking concrete not only led to necessary repairs, but it also caused a slip and fall accident. A plaza in Toronto was a popular stop for customers to visit stores, but a sinking sidewalk had caused numerous concrete pads to shift and crack.
After a customer tripped and fell, the plaza owner knew something had to be done to prevent this from happening again. He reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling in search of a solution.
Project Manager CJ Sharp met with the customer and showed him how our products would eliminate the problem while also preventing it from happening again. The customer was thrilled to learn how easy it was to rid himself of this issue, and he booked a date for the repairs.
Foreman Bill McKeown worked hard injecting our PolyLevel® System into a few different concrete slabs throughout the walkway. PolyLevel® is a high-density polymer that lifts concrete through several dime-sized injection sites. Our system also fills any voids present beneath the surface, protecting the concrete from future settlement.
The customer was so impressed with our solution that he brought us back the following year to repair a few different spots on the sidewalk. He is happy that he no longer needs to worry about his customers falling.
Concrete Sinking Before Building is Even Finished in Toronto, Ontario
There’s a lot that goes into building a home. It’s a huge undertaking, so when things go wrong, it can be a significant setback.
In Toronto, Ontario, a custom home builder was working on a home when he noticed something going wrong. The concrete back patio he had poured six months earlier was already starting to sink. The house wasn’t even through the building stage yet, so he knew he needed a long-term fix.
The builder reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. He explained to Paul what happened and that he was surprised the concrete failed so quickly. Paul explained how and why concrete sinks and played a demonstration video of our PolyLevel® System. Bad fill material allowed a gap to form, causing the slab to sink. Our solution not only lifts the concrete but also compresses fill soils below. The customer was delighted to hear about such a unique solution and looked forward to seeing it for himself.
Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled several dime-sized holes in the concrete slab to inject our PolyLevel® System. As the high-density polyurethane is injected, it expands, lifting the slab and stabilizing substrates below.
The home builder couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched the concrete lift back to an even grade. He’s glad he didn’t need to repour the slab and knows who to call if he ever runs into this issue again.
