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.
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.

Cracks in walkways and sidewalks are not only visually unappealing, but they can be an indication of a much larger issue that is causing damage to the structure of the building. Water can seep down these cracks into the foundation of a home, forever shifting, heaving and cracking the concrete. Although happening slowly over the years, the cost of not fixing a problem like this one can be almost unfathomable to a homeowner. One customer in Mississauga wasn't going to wait until it was too late and decided to get their crack sealed and walkway repaired the right way with Canadian Concrete Leveling.
The customer met with Project Manager Danny Dos Santos, who quickly diagnosed the concerns of the homeowner. He came up with a custom solution guaranteed to eliminate their present issue and any fear or worry they may have had.
Foreman Kyle McKeown first levelled out the concrete using our patented PolyLevel® process by injecting high-density polyurethane into the concrete. Once the lift was completed and the concrete was level and set, Kyle used NexusPro® to seal any cracks off to the elements and colour match the sealant with the walkway. In the end, the walkway looked brand new. The customer is very relieved they no longer need to worry about long-term damage and repair costs to their home.
Sometimes, it can take a little bit of inspiration to get started on a renovation. Maybe it’s the new addition you saw down the road, or your neighbours could have put in a new pool. Whatever it is, you realize it’s your turn next.
In Mississauga, Ontario, a customer reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling after seeing our system in action at his neighbour’s house. He had his own sinking concrete at the corner of his driveway and backyard patio.
Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the homeowner and inspected the property. The customer already saw how our system worked, but Paul walked him through the process again.
Our installation team used our PolyLevel® System to inject high-density polyurethane beneath the concrete slabs. Once the slabs were back to grade, the crew patched the injection holes and informed the customer that we had repaired his sinking concrete. The homeowner was thrilled with the work done by the CCL team. He’s thankful he lucked out and was home when his neighbours had their concrete repaired – he's happy to recommend CCL to friends and family.
When concrete deals with pressure, it typically cracks. This can happen for a number of reasons, but a common one is when the concrete sinks.
In Mississauga, Ontario, a customer was tired of dealing with cracked and uneven concrete outside of her home. The problem was getting worse each year, so she decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Project Manager Joe McColl met with the homeowner and inspected her walkway. Joe showed her our solution, and she was happy to hear ripping out the concrete wasn’t involved.
Foreman Kyle McKeown used our PolyLevel® system to lift and level the concrete. A high-density polyurethane was injected beneath the slab, compressing the fill soils while lifting the concrete. This process can be installed in a matter of hours and takes only 15 minutes to cure.
With her concrete repaired and tripping hazards removed, the homeowner is very happy. She is pleased with the work done and loves how efficient and thorough Bill was with his work.
