Canadian Concrete Leveling Before & After Photos

A pair of elderly homeowners from Hamilton, Ontario, called Canadian Concrete Leveling regarding various tripping hazards around their property. They didn't think there was much of an issue until one day their grandson had a near trip from a sinking concrete slab. After that moment, they wanted to make sure that was the only one. Then they found more and more. The homeowners took pride in the maintenance around their property, even the concrete, so the concrete was in excellent condition minus the sinking. Our Project Manager, Danny Dos Santos, arrived to investigate the issue better and get to the bottom of these treacherous walkways. He concluded that the best approach would be two systems, one being our PolyLevel® injection, and the following would be NexusPro® sealant. In tandem, they will lift the concrete, stabilize underneath, and seal off any joints where water can enter. Danny explained how each system worked, and the homeowners said, "That sounds like magic, let's do it!".

            Our Installation Specialists, arrived to transform this home from a tripping nightmare to a safe haven. They began by drilling dime-sized holes into the lower points of the concrete that will hold our PolyLevel® system. After the injections are made and the concrete has achieved the desirable height, it is time to seal the joints with our NexusPro®. Nexus is a great, waterproof, chemical-resistant joint sealant that does not crack and dry out. The homeowners were delighted with the work that everyone had done, from the initial call to the clean-up on-site. The grandparents now had peace of mind that the kids could traverse the property without running the risk of tripping. 

In Hamilton, a homeowner was facing an increasingly serious safety issue as multiple areas around the property began to shift and settle. Over time, sections of the driveway and front porch had dropped and separated, creating uneven transitions and unexpected height changes that made everyday movement around the home risky. Several falls had already occurred due to the shifting concrete, which became especially concerning for the elderly resident living in the home.

The driveway, made up of large concrete sections, had gradually moved as the underlying soil shifted and settled. These movements created wide, uneven joints between slabs that became clear trip hazards. As settlement continued toward the front porch, the concrete at the entrance also began to sink, exposing parts of the home’s foundation. This not only created a more prominent step into the house but also raised concerns about water intrusion and long-term foundation exposure, especially during heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw cycles.

Rather than opting for a costly and disruptive full replacement, the homeowners began searching for a repair method that could stabilize and lift the existing concrete. They contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling for an on-site evaluation and solution. After a detailed inspection, a targeted lifting plan was developed to address the most severely affected sections of the driveway and porch.

Using the PolyLevel® polyurethane injection system, small access holes were drilled at key settlement points across the slabs. High-density structural foam was then injected beneath the concrete, where it expanded to fill hidden voids and stabilize the weakened soil base. As the material cured, it gently raised the sunken slabs back toward their original position, realigning the joints and restoring safe, even transitions across the driveway and entryway.

Once the work was complete, the driveway and porch were leveled, the trip hazards were eliminated, and the foundation exposure was reduced. The homeowners were surprised by how efficient and minimally invasive the process was, especially compared to the idea of full replacement. Most importantly, they now have a safer, more stable entrance to their home and peace of mind knowing the settlement has been properly addressed.

In Hamilton, Ontario, this home had sinking concrete all over the house – from the stairs, the driveway, and the side walkway. The homeowners were very concerned about the multiple spots for uneven concrete since they could trip on either one. A solution was needed, but they wanted to find the most permanent, cost-effective, and minimally invasive leveling process. 

After seeing our social media content and referrals, the homeowners knew they wanted to choose Canadian Concrete Leveling to fix their concrete troubles. After the initial inquiry, we were able to send our Project Manager, Matt Ruskin, to the home and draft up a quote. Our polyurethane injection method is the most inexpensive yet durable solution for concrete leveling, blowing the owners away. Matt quoted our PolyLevel® to be done at the lowest concrete points, especially at the front staircase. On a later day, our installation team, Kyle and JP, came to the home to begin leveling the concrete. Thankfully the work did not interrupt the daily foot traffic of their home, and since they worked in sections, they were hardly in the way. The work was done seamlessly, and the result shocked the owners since it looked like the concrete that was originally placed. 

Make your home safe, inside and out. For example, this home in Milton, Ontario, had a driveway composed of 4 large concrete slabs. One of the four slabs started sinking, making a significant tripping hazard for people, a bump for cars driving in the driveway, and an area for pooling or ice to build up. The slab must be fixed before things get worse.

Canadian Concrete Leveling was called, and Danny Dos Santos, our Project Manager, arrived to the home. Installation Specialist, Bill McKeown, arrived on a later day to inject the slab with our PolyLevel®. The injections will permanently lift the concrete and keep it at the same height. Bill performed the work with ease and left the homeowners happy that they do not have to worry about the driveway and its hazards anymore.

A couple in Milton, Ontario, had been dealing with sunken concrete for some time and had a few close calls of tripping over the broken slabs. If ever having guests over, they had to make sure they were aware of the concrete when entering the home, which caused them lots of stress as they did not want to be responsible for an injury that could have been avoided.

They called Canadian Concrete Leveling, where our team went in with our most standard and practical approach. First, they went in with our PolyLevel® polyurethane injection that is non-invasive as it is applicated through small, dime-sized holes drilled through the concrete. Once injected, it takes approximately 30 minutes to cure. Next, NexusPro® was applicated to seal the broken concrete slabs together. This strong bond is reliable against UV rays, and water infiltration is flexible and proven to last over 20 years.

The couple was thrilled at the finished look when the job was completed and felt a massive weight lifted off their shoulders thanks to our team at Canadian Concrete Leveling!
