Markham, ON's Trusted Sinking, Cracked Concrete Repair Experts

The homeowner was devastated that her 97-year-old father had tripped on her walkway last year. He could no longer risk stepping onto the hazardous stairs with his walker. He refused to leave the house due to his fear of falling. Once the homeowner decided to get rid of this trip hazard, she contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling for a free estimate. 

Project Manager, Paul Mendell, inspected the steps and surrounding area and determined that a PolyLevel® Injection would be needed to lift and level the stairs. Foreman Kyle McKeown and his team got to work! 

When the job was complete, the homeowner was ecstatic with the installation and the peace of mind it has given her. Now the homeowner's father can use the walkway without being afraid of falling. With fully functional stairs, he has left the house for the first time in more than six months.

This project is an example of what makes being part of Canadian Concrete Leveling so rewarding. We are thrilled we were able to fix this problem for the homeowner and her father. 

Our customer in Markham, Ontario, had a concern with a concrete slab located on the right side of their home. The slab had sunken near the house, directing rainwater towards the foundation. Our customer's concern was that the pooling water would lead to further damages. Also, on top of the slab sat a pool heater and a pump. Since the heater was sitting at an angle, the flame was not aiming where it was supposed to, resulting in damaging the heater.

Our customer knew to call Canadian Concrete Leveling, after previously having a job completed by our company. An appointment was then set up with Project Lead, Paul Mendell. Paul advised our customer about all the benefits Polyurethane would do to fix their issue. Kyle and Steve, injected our expanding Polyurethane under the concrete.

How does Polyurethane work?

Polyurethane fills the voids underneath the slab, then lifts and stabilizes the concrete back to the original height.

Our customer was pleased with the job. The slab is now stabilized and ready for a new pool heater. Water is no longer directed towards the home giving our customer peace of mind that no future damage will occur.

Not many people may think about the struggles someone may have getting around on their own. Our customer in Markham, Ontario, had a mobility disability and struggled with using the front walkway of their home. The concrete slabs had settled creating trip hazards and forcing water to pool near the garage causing water damage. The primary concern was that the uneven concrete could cause serious injuries. Also, they were looking to sell the house in the near future and wanted it fixed.

After reaching out to Canadian Concrete Leveling an appointment was set up with System Design Specialist, Ron Monk. Ron recommended installing Polyurethane and NexusPro™ Sealant. The Polyurethane allows our team to lift and level settled concrete, the Polyurethane pushes down on the loose soils underneath and raises the slab eliminating trip hazards. The NexusPro™ Sealant is injected along the expanded joints and cracks to seal the concrete preventing water from seeping through.

Our customer is happy that the concrete is leveled and that our team has eliminated all the tripping hazards. The walkway is now safe and the home is ready to sell shortly.
