One Day of Work Fixes Six Years of Sinking Concrete in Ajax, ON

Many people have been using their pools more than ever this year. We can’t travel around due to COVID-19, so people have been bringing their backyards back to life.

A customer in Ajax, Ontario, has had sinking concrete in his backyard for close to six years. He had been using the pool more than ever this summer, so the concrete was becoming more of an issue and he was concerned what would happen in the future. After meeting with Project Manager Kyle O’Brien and seeing our solution, the customer was eager to set up a date for the repair. 

 

Our installation crew started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes throughout the concrete slabs. He used these holes as injection ports for our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane, which expands below the surface. This lifts the concrete and compresses any fill soils, helping to prevent the issue from returning. 

The customer is happy that his pool deck is level and safe. 

Sinking Walkway Threatens Customers at Plaza in Ajax, Ontario

A plaza manager has many behind-the-scenes tasks along with managing tenant and customer needs. They ensure everything is safe and in proper working order.

A building manager in Ajax, Ontario, received a few complaints from tenants about sinking concrete in front of the parking lot. The area became a tripping hazard and a troublesome spot for pooling water.

Project Manager Joe McColl inspected the concrete at the strip mall. Joe explained to the customer that voids under the slab make the concrete sink. The customer did not want to deal with the expensive hassle of new concrete and closing the stores for a few days.

To his delight, the manager learned he could leave the stores open during the installation and use the concrete later the same day. Joe explained how our PolyLevel® System repairs the concrete using high-density polyurethane injections. This solution is non-invasive – a 300-foot hose pumps polyurethane to voids under the concrete.

Foreman Bill McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. As he injects the polyurethane beneath the slabs, the concrete lifts back to grade level while compressing fill soils below. All spaces and cavities are filled fixing the concrete issues permanently.

The building manager truly appreciates how efficient the installation was executed. He didn’t need to close down the building, and his tenants are happy their customers can use a safe walkway.

Sinking Pool Deck Puts Family at Risk in Brooklin, Ontario

A pool is typically a pretty popular area at a home. Everyone enjoys hopping in for a quick dip, and parents are used to supervising their kids for hours on end. 

A family in Brooklin, Ontario, had a beautiful pool with a sinking pool deck. The concrete surrounding the pool was sinking and cracking, creating quite a tripping hazard. The family’s teenage kids used the pool regularly, and they were concerned about someone tripping. They were almost used to living with the eyesore but decided it was time to take care of it.

They reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Kyle O’Brien. Kyle inspected the concrete pool deck and showed the homeowners exactly how we would repair the concrete.

Foreman Bill McKeown used our PolyLevel® system to lift and level the concrete slabs. The high-density polyurethane expands beneath the concrete to compress the fill soils and lift the slabs, preventing the issue from returning. 

The family is thrilled that their pool is safe again. Their kids can use the backyard without the parents worrying so much, and the ugly eyesore is finally gone.

Leveling a Tripping Hazard in Fire Station, Whitby, ON

The Whitby, Ontario, fire station needed our help to eliminate a tripping hazard on the parking lot's perimeter. The concrete walkway leading into the building had started to sink two inches, making it dangerous for the staff to come and go from their vehicles. During the harsher winter days, the hazard became completely invisible, which made our new clients want the problem solved as soon as possible. Based on the tremendous work we've previously done for the town of Whitby, the fire hall knew they could trust Canadian Concrete Leveling to do a quick yet professional job.  

 

Our Project Manager, Kyle O'Brien, came to the rescue and started his investigation of the sinking concrete. He can see that the walkway needed a healthy amount of our PolyLevel® injection material to stabilize the undersoil and lift the walkway back to its original height. With the go-ahead from the fire station, the job was scheduled to be completed. Our experienced installer, Bill McKeown, began the work and wanted to get it done promptly. So before the firefighter's next call, the concrete was levelled and cured. No interruptions and, most of all, no more hazards.
