Eliminating a Trip Hazard in Toronto, ON

Before	After

A home in Toronto, Ontario had a sinking slab on the front walkway. The walkway had cracked across the middle, and one half of the slab was sinking towards the crack creating a trip hazard and causing water to pool on the walkway after heavy rain. During the winter the pooling water in this area would freeze and cause a slip hazard as well. The customer wanted to fix this so that it would no longer be a safety hazard. 

The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling to fix the problem. John DiNicolantonio explained to the customer that it would be a quick fix and comes with a complete warranty. Billy McKeown and the team used PolyLevel® Injection to level the walkway, eliminating the trip hazard. The foam travels through the voids underneath the concrete and expands, allowing for us to lift the slab and stabilize the substrate to prevent further settlement. They covered the crack with NexusPro® Joint Sealant to prevent water from making its way between the slabs again. The customer now has a safe and usable walkway. They were delighted that they could have the walkway fixed at a fraction of the cost of concrete replacement.

Pooling Driveway in Toronto Ontario

Before	After

In Toronto, Ontario, a home had a sinking driveway on one side, which, unfortunately, led to water pooling and flooding into the homeowner's porch, about to compromise their foundation's integrity, and creating a sheet of ice in the winter months. Canadian Concrete Leveling was their best option since it is quick, permanent, and affordable without replacing the driveway slabs. 

Project Manager Kyle O'Brien arrived at the home to have a better look. Thankfully, the work that would have to be done can be completed in a day and take under one hour! The homeowners were thrilled to know how much it would cost and the little to no time that it would take to complete. Later that week, Installation Specialist, Mark Sealy, started to inject the lowest slabs with our high-density polyurethane called PolyLevel®. This will permanently fill the voids underneath and allow the slabs to lift to their original position. No more pooling issues at this Toronto home!

Sinking Walkway Next to Garage Foundation in Toronto, Ontario

Before	After

Most homes have some sort of walkway that surrounds the house. It could be flagstone, gravel, or a more unique material, but traditionally they’re made from concrete slabs. 

A customer in Toronto, Ontario, has a sinking path outside of his home. The concrete had settled towards the garage, creating a trip hazard. Water was also pooling next to the garage foundation, and the customer was worried about it seeping down. 

The customer wanted the problem fixed but was growing tired of only seeing expensive and disruptive solutions. After meeting with Project Manager Joe McColl, he knew Canadian Concrete Leveling was the perfect option.

Foreman Bill McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. Through these ports he injected our high-density polyurethane system, PolyLevel®. The polymers mix when injected, expanding beneath the slab. As the concrete expands it lifts the concrete and fills any gaps below. Once Bill completed the lift, he patched the holes with fresh concrete.

The customer is delighted that he found an alternative solution to the costly options he first saw. He enjoyed watching Bill work and appreciates the honesty from Joe McColl.
