Double Sinking Staircases? Maple, Ontario

Maple, Ontario’s beautiful home, had not one but two sinking sets of stairs. However, these stairs both had something in common: the rest of the stairs, except the top, had started sinking, leaving the final lunge to the top challenging. Not only did the homeowners find the staircases unappealing, but they also noticed that many people were tripping on them during all hours of the day. 

The steps had a gap where the original sealant was, but since the steps elongated, the separation happened, revealing the foundation and concrete integrity. If the problem is not fixed and the elements get inside, further damage to the home’s foundation and the staircases will occur. The homeowners needed a solution that could quickly lift the concrete, save them money, and keep the concrete looking the same way it does now. They’ve come across Canadian Concrete Leveling and realized that we check every box they are looking for. As other methods can be expensive, our polyurethane injections are non-invasive, cost-effective, and quick curing to the point that it’s too good to be true. 

They called our call centre to set up an appointment where Joe McColl, our experienced Project Manager, came up with a detailed schematic on how the work will be completed, who would be coming to the home and how long roughly it will take. Later during the week, Kyle McKeown, our Installation Supervisor, came to the house to start the injection process. The job only needed less than ten injections, which happened to be the size of a dime, to complete the work. Once the holes were properly filled with the polyurethane, the concrete lifted immediately. The area was then swept, and the holes were patched with concrete to blend in with the existing concrete.
