As the world starts opening again post the pandemic, we are more than inclined to greet and host all our distanced friends and family. But, unfortunately, for most if not all of us, we have been virtually isolated from any social event, let alone hosting one. With almost two years of absent thanksgiving dinners, Christmas parties and events, people worldwide anxiously crave closeness, community and company. With Winter approaching faster than ever and the pandemic almost behind us, now is the period to make up for the lost time.
The last thing anyone wants to be responsible for is the unnecessary injury of their friends and family. An uneven walkway can always pose a severe risk to anyone using it, even for the youngest and healthiest members of one's family. But the risk of tripping gets exponentially higher during the Winter months with the introduction of low light conditions, ice, snow and sleet. Uneven, icy and slippery walkways can be a recipe for disaster. Not only is the safety and well-being of your loved ones at risk, but anyone also entering your property, say a salesperson or girl scout that sustains an injury, can make you, the homeowner, financially responsible. These and many more reasons are why Canadian Concrete Leveling is on a mission to eradicate unnecessary injury resulting from uneven concrete. We are always committed to keeping your family safe for years to come.
The emergence of Winter also comes with it the delights of the holiday season. It is a season of joy, love and friendship. The last thing it should be associated with is danger. This customer and their entire family in Cambridge, Ontario, we're committed to finding an economical and long-lasting solution to their dangerous uneven walkway. They reached out to Andy Moncrieff, Project Manager at Canadian Concrete Leveling for our long-proven track record of providing peace of mind to homeowners. Foreman Kyle McKeown installed the patented PolyLevel® technology to fill the gaps underneath the concrete slabs, raising them to perfectly level. PolyLevel® is designed to withstand for years in the harshest of conditions and will make an unsafe walkway safe in very little time. Have a hazardous walkway? We can help.
Make your walk into your home a breeze, and not worry about tripping or falling on your way inside. In Guelph, Ontario, our client had a concrete walkway sinking to different heights in various sections. This caused elderly family members and guests to trip over the slabs when coming and going from the home. Project Manager Andy Moncrieff visited the house and agreed that the slabs needed to be levelled as soon as possible to make the home safe. With our PolyLevel® injections done by Installation Specialist Kyle McKeown, the slabs were lifted to a perfectly levelled position. The process took under an hour to set up, install, and cure. The clients were taken aback by how the uneven concrete rose with ease.
A pool deck in Guelph, Ontario, has seen better days. The deck was a significant tripping hazard, especially for barefoot guests, and the concrete was wet. Canadian Concrete Leveling was called to provide a cost-effective and quick solution without having the homeowners replace the whole deck.
Our Project Manager, Andy Moncrieff, had stopped by the home to create a schematic of what work needed to be done and where it would take place around the pool deck. Even though the process may be fast and straightforward, you need to know exactly where to let the concrete without damaging anything surrounding it, like the inner pool walls.
On a later day, our installation team, Kyle McKeown and Russell, started the PolyLevel® injections to lift the slabs to their original spot. Progressing to the next portion of the job was replacing the floor-to-wall joint sealant located on the side of the home. The existing bond has deteriorated that it is compromising the home's foundation. Next, Kyle and Russell applied our malleable, non-drying, chemical and water-resistant sealant called NexusPro®. This sealant protects the joints, provides a clean finish to your concrete and elevates its appeal.
After the work was completed, the homeowners were thrilled about the entire process. They mentioned that it was a seamless process from start to finish and how open the communication was the whole time. The work did not disrupt the foot traffic and was completed in under 15 minutes. The pool is saved!
The floor in a basement room in Guelph, Ontario had begun to sink, causing a 2-inch gap between the wall trim and the concrete floor. Water was leaking in, and it started to rip the carpet on the floor. The cement pad was also cracking underneath. The customers home office was in that room. He relied heavily on that room for his business, but due to the water, he couldn’t have his equipment in there. He needed a quick fix so he could continue to run his business with no future issues. The builders of the home told the customer they would find the best company to fix the problem. The Canadian Concrete Leveling team was more than happy to figure out a solution for this customer's home. We came in and used our PolyLevel® Injection to fix the problem. It leveled out the floor, which means that there will be no more water, and the concrete slab floor won’t crack again! The floor is now stable, and our customer can continue his business without any worries of future sinking. The process was natural and non-invasive, it only took 30 minutes.
Properly working equipment can make or break a business, especially when it’s seasonal. Even losing one day due to a power or equipment failure can cost thousands and leave customers with a bad taste.
A ski club owner in The Blue Mountains, Ontario, was concerned about losing the use of one of his lifts due to a concrete floor that had settled 2 inches. Beneath the floor was a conduit pipe that housed electrical cables and powered the ski lift, and the sinking floor was putting stress on the pipe. Not only could this cause a power outage, but it could also start a fire, shutting down the club and potentially hurting someone.
Wanting to deal with the situation before it caused an emergency, the owner reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling. Project Manager Joe McColl travelled to the ski club to meet with the customer for a free inspection. After checking out the building, it was clear to Joe that our PolyLevel® System could lift the concrete floor and remove the stress on the pipe.
Foreman Bill McKeown and Installation Specialist Mark Sealy started by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete, being careful not to hit the pipe. They injected our PolyLevel® Polymer beneath the floor, lifting and leveling it to the base of the wall. Any voids beneath the floor were also filled, stabilizing the concrete to prevent any future sinking.
The ski club owner is very pleased that there is no longer a risk of power failure or fire. His customers can rest assured knowing their day on the slopes won’t be impacted, and the customer is looking forward to a great winter in The Blue Mountains!
