Photo Album: Multiple Properties Deal with Sinking Concrete at Townhouse Community in Richmond Hill, Ontario
Managing a property or building comes with a lot of liability. It’s on the manager to ensure everything is safe and in working order, so maintenance is crucial.
A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, manages a townhome complex. A few residents had started to complain about sinking concrete, so he prepared to bring in a company to pour new slabs.
After doing some research, he discovered Canadian Concrete Leveling. The manager met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. After learning about our PolyLevel® System, the customer realized he didn’t need to excavate thousands of pounds of concrete. He was thrilled to hear our solution was non-invasive and was looking forward to seeing it in action.
Foreman Kyle McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes through the surface. He used these holes as injection ports for our high-density polyurethane. The solution expands beneath the concrete, lifting the slab back to the level grade.
The building manager is ecstatic that he found an alternative solution through Canadian Concrete Leveling. His clients are happy that their concrete is safe, and the customer saved thousands of dollars using our PolyLevel® System.
