Before & After Photos

In many Toronto neighborhoods, the changing seasons and shifting soil can do a number on even the sturdiest concrete. This was exactly the case for a local homeowner whose front entrance had become a significant safety concern. Over time, the walkway slabs had settled so deeply that they created a massive tripping hazard right at the steps to the front door. Because the walkway had sunk away from the stairs, the "rise" of that first step had become dangerously high and uneven, making a simple walk to the door feel like a trek over broken ground.

Even though the concrete sections hadn't been perfectly flush or at the same height since the house was first built, the years of settling had made the situation much worse. The homeowners needed a solution that would bridge that gap and bring the entrance back into a safe, usable alignment. That’s when they called in Canadian Concrete Leveling.

Instead of a costly and disruptive "rip and replace" job, our team used our precision polyurethane injection process to address the root of the problem. We reached beneath the slabs to fill the voids and gently lift the concrete back toward its original position. We focused on closing those dangerous gaps and evening out the transition points that posed the greatest risk for a stumble.

The transformation was night and day. While the walkway started out disjointed and sunken, it was restored to a level of safety and stability it hadn't seen in years. By lifting the slabs to meet the steps properly, we eliminated the looming tripping hazard and gave the homeowners a smooth, predictable path to their door. It’s a perfect example of how targeted leveling can take a neglected, hazardous entrance and turn it back into a welcoming, worry-free home.

This East York project involved original 1950s concrete slabs located in the narrow walkway between two houses. Over the decades, natural soil settlement caused the slabs to sink by 3 to 4 inches, creating a steep slope that directed water toward the side of the home. Correcting the grade was an important priority for the homeowner, helping improve drainage and protect the long-term integrity of the structure.

Our team used our high-density PolyLevel® injection system to carefully and precisely lift the existing concrete. Structural-grade polymer was injected through small, non-invasive holes, where it expanded to fill hidden voids and stabilize the underlying soil. This controlled process allowed us to return the slabs to a proper grade, directing water safely away from the home.

To complete the project, we cleaned and sealed the joints using our premium crack and joint sealant, providing added protection against future water infiltration. The result was a safe, level, and fully stabilized walkway that was back in service the very same day — all while preserving the original concrete and minimizing disruption to the property.

Years of soil settlement caused this exterior slab to sink, creating a trip hazard and directing water toward the foundation.

We lifted the slab using structural-grade polyurethane and sealed all cracks to prevent future water damage.

The Result? The slab is now safe, level, and blends seamlessly with the surrounding concrete. This repair not only eliminates the trip hazard but also protects the foundation from water damage, showing that a full replacement isn’t always necessary.

The front walkway had become a bit of a hazard, with uneven concrete slabs causing trips and pooling water after rain. The height difference between the step and the walkway was quite noticeable—around 2 inches—and it was clearly time for a fix.

Now, the entrance is level, safe, and welcoming. The concrete slab in front of the door is seamlessly integrated with the stone pathway, eliminating trip hazards and water buildup. The result is not just a safer step, but a more polished look overall. It’s a small change that made a big impact!

What starts as a small crack can quickly turn into a safety concern—and that's exactly what happened on this residential sidewalk in Port Perry, Ontario. Years of settling had created uneven, sunken slabs that posed trip hazards and drainage problems for local homeowners and passersby.

Instead of tearing everything out and starting from scratch, we used our precision concrete leveling method to lift and align the existing slabs—saving time, money, and disruption. The result? An even, safe, and renewed sidewalk that blends perfectly with the surrounding streetscape.

Whether you're a homeowner or a city official, this is proof that restoring safety and style doesn’t have to mean a full replacement.
