Residential Photo Album: Driveway Needs to Slope Water Elsewhere, Collingwood ON
Driveways are the most susceptible to settlement since they are concrete patches with cars running in and out of them. Some are composed of large slabs and are vulnerable to shifting too. For example, this home in Collingwood, Ontario, had a sinking driveway on one side which caused water to drain into the home's foundation. The homeowners were worried since the concrete revealed tripping hazards and potential structural damage and needed a solution quickly.
After recommendations from neighbours, Canadian Concrete Leveling was the company to do the work. Since we are cost-effective, a permanent fix, and the quickest solution, makes us the number one choice for your levelling needs. Once the homeowners found our contact info, they gave us a shout immediately to get the ball rolling. We sent our experienced Project Manager, Paul Mendell, to the home, where he began his quoting process. He quoted our new clients our high-density polyurethane to lift the concrete permanently and our high-grade sealant to seal away any gaps that lead to the foundation. Next, our installation duo, Kyle and JP, arrived at the home and began our process.
