Corner Crisis, Woodbridge ON

This beautiful property in Woodbridge, Ontario, had a large concrete back patio where there had been major sinking spots along the edge of the home. The homeowners wanted to increase the property by conducting some renovations, starting with the basement. However, when getting their estimate for the renovations, the contractor realized a problem on the outside. The corner of the patio was sinking by three inches to the point that the foundation was exposed. On wet days, water would pool up in that corner which raised concern about the water leaking through the home's foundation and into the basement. The patio needed to be fixed before all the renovations were affected by water damage. 

With some research, the homeowners discovered that Canadian Concrete Leveling could permanently level the concrete affordably without cutting into their renovation budget. Our Project Manager, Kyle O'Brien, arrived at the home to start inspecting the patio. He suggested that we lift the corner above the original height to create a slope where the water shoots away from the house rather than sitting on top of the slabs. Once the concrete's levelled, we will apply our NexusPro® sealant to the joints to protect them entirely from moisture. On a later day, Bill McKeown, our Installation Foreman, went to the home and began levelling. He focused on the sinking points around the corner to fill any potential voids. It was time to lift the three inches to three and a half to create a slope. Bill levelled the concrete and began applying our sealant around the perimeter. The process was quick to complete, and the homeowners can resume renovations worry-free.
