This home in Brampton, Ontario, had a front walkway sinking and sloping toward the home's foundation. The homeowners were concerned that water would attack the foundation on rainy days and result in more significant issues. On a regular day basis, the step up onto the staircase is now more prominent than normal. Since there was so much sinking, they added another temporary step until they found our team. Our Project Manager, Danny Dos Santos, visited the home to investigate the issue further. He noticed that the steps were affected, and the porch was suffering from foundation exposure, too. The system Danny recommended was our PolyLevel® which lifts concrete back to its original height using a high-density polyurethane. PolyLevel® is an excellent solution since it is quick-curing, permanent, cost-effective, and hydrophobic. Once everything was mapped out for production, our Installation Specialists, started the levelling. The homeowners stood by to see the process unfold and were ecstatic to see the changes happen right before their eyes. The approach was to fill all the voids that could allow water to impact the foundation and then lift the concrete up, leaving a slope so water could slide away from the home.
Garage floors tend to have voids or spider cracks throughout, but this home in Brampton, Ontario, had started sinking dramatically. The sinking on one side split the entire floor horizontally, which intrigued the homeowner of 40 years to call our team. Since the concrete was thick, he wanted to find a solution that would not involve gutting all of it only to repour more. We sent our Project Manager, Paul Mendell, to the home to find the best solution to tackle this sinking driveway. He recommended we inject our PolyLevel® injection system evenly to avoid cracking, safely lift the driveway, and give it the original slope it had previously. Regarding the crack, Paul showed the client our NexusPro® sealant, which can be colour-matched for a more pristine look. The homeowner's response was incredible. His face lit up with joy, knowing that our method would save him a lot of money, and he could already visualize the clean work that our crew would do.
On a later date, our crew, consisting of Foreman Bill McKeown, and Specialist Nestor Cabrera, came to the home and began the garage floor transformation. The approach was to inject bits and pieces amongst 16 injection points to lift the garage floor evenly and prevent spiderweb cracks from forming. Within no time, the garage floor was achieving the desired slope Bill was looking for and the homeowner was already amazed by the effortless lifting the PolyLevel® had done. The final treatment to the floor was sealing the big crack and dividing the concrete into two segments. Nestor started buffing the fracture to prep the Nexus. Bill followed right behind with the colour-matched material and spatulated it to sit flush with the rest. The results were immaculate.
A front walkway in Brampton, Ontario had started to sink in many directions, but primarily toward the home. Rainwater was the issue since it would pool up against the house and eat away at the foundation. The homeowners were worried that a more significant problem would transpire if this was not resolved, so they contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling for a professional solution. They've dealt with concrete issues and had to get half of their walkway re-done from cracking and falling apart. Since everything was pristine, minus the sinking, levelling was the best solution rather than replacing it.
Our Project Manager, Paul Mendell, came to the home to recommend products that will level the concrete and protect the house. He suggested our PolyLevel® injection system that will lift the concrete from underneath and angle it so water slopes away from home. The second system Paul mentioned was our NexusPro® sealant, which will keep all water away from entering the joints so the PolyLevel® is protected. The wife explained that she was thankful for finding our team. She did not want to replace the concrete since they'd invested more than enough money on the newer addition; Paul's solution changed her perspective, knowing she would be in good hands. After he created his plan and submitted it to our team, our installation crew headed over to save this walkway. Installation Foreman Bill McKeown and Specialist Nestor Cabrera transformed this walkway from a sinking nightmare to a functional walkway again.
A home in Brampton, Ontario, had a pool deck that was sinking in various areas. The sinking concrete created various trip hazards around the pool and needed to be taken care of immediately so the the concrete would not continue to sink.
The customer called Clarke Basement Systems and the Canadian Concrete Leveling team went to fix the problem. John DiNicolantonio explained the process that would be done to the pool deck. Billy McKeown and the team injected PolyLevel Foam beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs. The foam followed the path of least resistance underneath the concrete to fill all of the voids and then expanded. We were able to use the expansion of the foam to lift the pool deck to protect them from further settlement. The customer was satisfied that we were able to remove the trip hazards around their pool deck without making a complete mess of their backyard.
In Brampton, Ontario, this home's front steps had started to sink over time, making it very hard to navigate for the homeowners. They happened to be elderly, and with the amount of sinking occurring, the steps into the home were almost unusable. They wanted to lift and support their concrete without having to remove them, so they found Canadian Concrete Leveling. Our team of experts specializes in raising and levelling concrete, and this home in Brampton is something we have seen before. Our Project Manager, Danny Dos Santos, went to the home for a further look. He had noticed that the steps were sloping toward the concrete, which is excellent for water running off, but during the winter, when it all freezes, these stairs will become a slippery slide. Another thing that he noted on his walkthrough was that when the steps were sinking, it opened up the gap underneath, which can be very dangerous in the long run, as water can impede and result in more sinking or collapse of the rest of the steps. Danny ensured the homeowners that they were in good hands by showing them our PolyLevel® Injection System. This high-density polyurethane is able to fill any void underneath the concrete and push it back up to its original height with ease. Once the polyurethane transforms from liquid to solid, nothing pushes it back down. The homeowners were relieved by the news that their walkways would be saved and said, "Let's do it!" with a big grin. Our Installation Specialists went to work to save this home. They started off by drilling small dime-sized holes into the points of concern. From there, Russell hammered in injection caps to hold our system in place when levelling. The duo began the levelling process, and you can see the concrete level itself in front of your eyes. From uneven and hazardous to a transformed level walkway, the results were amazing.
