Enjoying your backyard pool with friends and family is fun, but only when the area is safe.
In Mississauga, Ontario, a customer reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling to deal with their sinking concrete pool deck. The customer enjoyed sharing the space with her friends and their kids, but sinking concrete made the deck hazardous. One child had even cut his toe on the raised edge.
Project Manager Kyle O’Brien met with the client and inspected her backyard. Kye explained to her how our PolyLevel® System could lift the sinking slabs back to grade. She was happy to hear about our non-invasive solution, and a date was set for the repair.
Foreman Kyle McKeown started by drilling dime-sized holes in the surface of the concrete. He injected our high-density polyurethane through these injection ports, where it expands beneath the concrete. This lifts the slab while compressing any loose soil below.
The customer is happy she was able to repair the concrete before it was too far gone. She’s excited to have company over again and can’t wait to tell them that the concrete is safe.
Why does concrete settle? It can happen from poor soil conditions. As the concrete compresses against the ground, it loosens the soil and over time the weight of the concrete forces it to settle. To permanently fix this issue our team at Canadian Concrete Leveling uses Polyurethane that compacts and compresses the loose soil under the slab and lifts, levels and stabilizes the concrete. This is how we solved our customer’s sidewalk repair in Mississauga, Ontario.
A patio slab holding an air conditioning unit had been sinking over a long period of time at a home in Mississauga, ON. The soil around the home was fairly loose when the patio was poured causing the weight of the air conditioner and concrete to sink in quite a few areas. The homeowner was worried the lines to the air conditioning unit would begin to bend and eventually be damaged.
The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling. Our Project Lead explained the process of our PolyLevel Injection System and how it could level the concrete. Billy McKeown, Foreman, injected polyurethane through dime-sized holes under the concrete to fill voids, lift and stabilize the slab.
The customer was very happy that we fixed the patio slab quickly and effectively so they could get their air conditioning unit up and running again.
In Mississauga, Ontario, a back patio and staircase had experienced significant settling to the point of not only revealing tripping hazards but exposing the home's foundation. The homeowners wanted to save the concrete without having to replace it or even pour more concrete on top. Since the slabs were in good condition, they searched for a company that could lift the concrete non-invasively, cost-effectively, and permanently. After researching our social media platforms, our new clients found us to be suitable candidates for the work they were looking at.
After giving us a shout, we sent out our Project Manager, Joe McColl, who arrived at the home to provide an honest, yet effective quote to our new homeowners. The homeowners were stunned at how simple the project seemed and how it would not interrupt their foot traffic. On a later day, we had our Installation Specialist, Bill McKeown, come to the home and follow the quote Joe drafted up. He started by drilling holes in the lowest concrete points where the concrete settled the most. From there, Bill began injecting the slabs with our PolyLevel®, which will fill any voids underneath and lift them back up to their original state. Once the levelling was all done, it was time to seal the joints with our NexusPro® sealant, anti-cracking, chemical resistant, and permanent. The job took less than an hour, and the results were immaculate.
The main walkway for an apartment in Mississauga, Ontario had many trip hazards from the front of the building to the roadway. Multiple concrete slabs were sinking. Many other slabs were affected by tree roots growing under the concrete. The owner of the building wanted to get the walkway repaired as quickly as possible as it was becoming a very serious safety risk for everyone.
The owner contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling and our Project Lead suggested our PolyLevel Injection System. Billy McKeown and our installation team injected polyurethane through dime-sized holes made in the concrete to fill the voids under the slabs. The walkways were successfully lifted, leveled and stabilized.
The owner was very happy with how quickly and effectively our team was able to complete the job. All of the trip hazards were fixed along the walkway.
