Photo Album: Raised Concrete Threatens Snow Removal in Brampton, Ontario
Shovelling snow is a hassle, so many of us contract the work out to a company or someone else.
A customer in Brampton, Ontario, reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling after his snow removal company complained about his uneven driveway. The plow was constantly jamming into a raised concrete slab, damaging both the slab and plow. The customer’s front steps had also settled several inches.
Project Manager Paul Mendell travelled to the customer’s home and inspected the driveway and walkway. He showed the customer our PolyLevel® Repair System and booked a date for the repair.
Foreman Kyle McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized injection ports in the concrete. He injected our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane, which expands beneath the slab to lift and level the concrete.
The homeowner is delighted with the work done by Canadian Concrete Leveling. He still can’t believe he didn’t have to redo the entire area, and his snow removal company appreciates the job done, too!
