We all take pride in our homes, but sometimes in different ways. Some of us love our basement lounge areas, our open-concept kitchens, or our beautiful backyards.
A customer in Mississauga, Ontario, has a meticulously manicured front yard. He adores his front garden and had a company pour a concrete walkway to complement it. After a few years, he noticed the concrete was sinking. He hated walking up to the house and seeing it every day, so he knew he had to do something.
After discovering us on a bus shelter billboard, the homeowner reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling. Project Manager Kyle O'Brien met with him and completed a thorough inspection of the entire walkway and steps. Kyle explained how the company likely never compressed the fill soils before pouring the concrete. As time went on, water washed away some of the soil, making the concrete sink.
The customer was frustrated that this wasn't a repair he could take care of himself. Kyle assured him we could repair the concrete in a day's work with little disruption, and the customer's worries were quickly fading away.
Foreman Bill McKeown used our PolyLevel® System to lift and level the concrete. PolyLevel® is injected through dime-sized holes where it expands beneath the slabs. Bill carefully lifted the walkway and steps, removing any tripping hazards and improving the gardens' look.
The customer feels excellent knowing he made the right choice. His garden is back up to his standards, and the front of his home is safe again.
It’s a fact that kids love playtime. Not only is it a time to make friends and memories, but it’s good for them too. What isn’t good is dealing with multiple tripping hazards standing between your home and your child’s playground.
A customer in Mississauga, Ontario, noticed the patio next to his house had started to slope towards the foundation, and several tripping hazards had formed when the concrete shifted. He was concerned about his six-year-old daughter using the walkway to access the backyard without tripping, and he wanted to keep water away from his home. Wanting to ensure his family’s safety, he reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Project Manager CJ Sharp met with the customer to inspect his walkway. While talking with the concerned parent, CJ recommended the best solution for this problem. Once a production date was scheduled for the repair, Foreman Kyle McKeown worked hard using our PolyLevel® Injection System to lift and level the patio. Kyle also fixed additional tripping hazards along with the customer’s driveway.
The customer was amazed that he could see immediate results. He loves the way his walkway and driveway look now and is thrilled that his family is safe.
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.
Front walkways and entryways are one of the most used areas in our home. So, when something goes wrong with these spots, it’s hard to ignore.
A customer in Mississauga, Ontario, had a concrete front step that had sunk significantly. The step had turned into a tripping hazard, and the homeowner wanted it dealt with before someone got hurt.
He reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Joe McColl to review his options before a date was set for the repair. Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled holes in the top of the step and injected our PolyLevel® polyurethane beneath the concrete slab to lift it. To finish the job, he patched the drill holes with fresh concrete.
The customer is very pleased that their tripping hazard is gone for good. They can now use their front steps without worrying about anyone getting hurt.
With the weather quickly becoming cold and wet, tripping hazards on your property immediately become a whole other beast. One wrong step can be the difference between life and death, and nobody wants to be responsible for that. In Mississauga, Ontario, this homeowner was sick of worrying about who would be the potential next victim of their uneven front entrance walkway and reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling for relief.
Clarke Basement Systems foreman Bill McKeown used a simple combination of two unique technologies to solve the issue with professionalism and patience. PolyLevel® was applied first to bring the large concrete slabs back to level. Then the installation team used NexusPro® to seal the concrete slabs back together. This seal prevents future damage and shifting of the slabs by preventing water from seeping down into the cracks. Over time, this water will create not only produce hydrostatic pressure, but Frost Heave will then become an issue. The water underneath the slabs will freeze, crack and thus shift, which is a common culprit of uneven walkways. Please don’t wait until Grandma breaks her hip.
