Residential Photo Album: Sinking Driveway Causes Machinery to Damage Garage Floor in Port Perry, Ontario

When a problem occurs at your home, you hope it's isolated to the one issue. When that problem starts to affect other parts of your home, though, you know it's time for a change. A customer in Port Perry, Ontario, has a beautiful garage that he uses for a shop. Equipment is always rolling in and out, and the interior floor is made with a high-quality, smooth finish.  Over the past year or so, the concrete driveway entering the garage has started to sink. The driveway is one large slab and was settling right in front of the entrance. Each time his lawnmower or snowmobiles went in or out, they scraped against the garage floor. This was chipping the material away each time it was used. Project Manager Kyle O'Brien met with the customer and inspected the garage. Right away, Kyle noticed a large void beneath the slab near the entrance. He explained to the client how our PolyLevel® System could lift the concrete while filling the cavity below. The customer was a little skeptical, but he was excited to see it for himself after watching a demonstration video. Foreman Kyle McKeown started by drilling injection ports on the concrete surface. He installed our high-density polyurethane through these holes, lifting the slab and compressing fill material below. Gaps and holes beneath concrete slabs are common and are typically caused by water or animals. Once the repair was done, Kyle patched the holes with fresh concrete.  The homeowner is pleased with the work done. His driveway and garage floor are protected from damage, and he was blown away that he was able to start using the shop later that same day.
