Sinking Concrete Causes a Trip and Fall Accident at Shopping Centre in Toronto, Ontario

As any property manager knows, being in business is no easy task. Whether you manage an apartment building or a plaza, there’s a lot you have to be responsible for. Two of your biggest concerns are damage to one of your properties and the rare, unfortunate case of someone getting hurt.

For a property manager in Toronto, Ontario, sinking concrete not only led to necessary repairs, but it also caused a slip and fall accident. A plaza in Toronto was a popular stop for customers to visit stores, but a sinking sidewalk had caused numerous concrete pads to shift and crack. 

After a customer tripped and fell, the plaza owner knew something had to be done to prevent this from happening again. He reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling in search of a solution. 

Project Manager CJ Sharp met with the customer and showed him how our products would eliminate the problem while also preventing it from happening again. The customer was thrilled to learn how easy it was to rid himself of this issue, and he booked a date for the repairs. 

Foreman Bill McKeown worked hard injecting our PolyLevel® System into a few different concrete slabs throughout the walkway. PolyLevel® is a high-density polymer that lifts concrete through several dime-sized injection sites. Our system also fills any voids present beneath the surface, protecting the concrete from future settlement.

The customer was so impressed with our solution that he brought us back the following year to repair a few different spots on the sidewalk. He is happy that he no longer needs to worry about his customers falling.
