PolyLevel® Basement Window / Sloped Driveway | Burlington, Ontario

Before	After

Our client in Burlington, Ontario, had a driveway that was a tripping and water pooling hazard. This driveway was bowing toward the house, causing a hazardous lip when entering the front entrance and exposing the home’s foundation. The sloping also left the basement door vulnerable since the foundation underneath the windowsill was exposed too. As a result, the whole side of the house was essentially susceptible to water. This problem had to be fixed as soon as possible to avoid intense foundation repairs. With the help of Project Manager Danny Dos Santos giving schematics and a plan, and Installation Supervisor Bill McKeown, the problematic driveway was fixed in under 15 minutes, thanks to our PolyLevel®!

Tripping Hazard Outside of Insurance Brokerage in Burlington, Ontario

Before	After

Insurance brokers know better than anyone the severity of a tripping hazard at a business. They deal with these types of claims every day, so they understand the issues that can come from uneven concrete.

A general contractor in Burlington, Ontario, had recently remodelled his insurance broker’s office. The broker had been dealing with a tripping hazard caused by settled concrete that he wanted dealt with. 

The contractor reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling looking for a solution and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. Paul showed them our techniques and solutions, and a date was set for the repair.

Foreman Kyle McKeown used our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane to lift the concrete back to its former grade. PolyLevel® takes minutes to cure, and the concrete can even be walked on the same day as the installation.

The owner is extremely happy with the work performed. His customers no longer worry about tripping, and the work didn’t interfere with his business. The contractor was also very impressed with the work done by Canadian Concrete Leveling.

Front Step Sinks and Pulls Away from Porch in Burlington, Ontario

Before	After

When you think about standout areas of your home, you probably think about the garden, backyard, and, more than anything, the kitchen. People sometimes forget about the front entryway, one of the most used areas. But when this spot becomes dangerous, it can become all you think about.

A customer in Burlington, Ontario, has a beautifully patterned concrete entryway to his home. The colour went well with the rest of the home’s look, but all that was tarnished by significant settlement on the lower slab. This created a dangerous trip hazard, so he reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling for a solution.

Project Manager Alex Balson met with the homeowner and inspected the front walkway. He explained how loose-fill soils allow slabs to sink over time. The customer was concerned about repouring concrete, but Alex put his mind to ease. He walked the homeowner through our PolyLevel® System, which uses high-density polyurethane injections to lift, level and stabilize concrete. As the two-part solution is injected and mixed, it expands, compressing the soil and lifting the concrete above.

Foreman Bill McKeown and his crew, Installation Specialists Malay, Kyle and Aidan, started by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. These tiny holes are used as injection ports, where our hose is connected for the lift. After carefully raising the bottom step, the holes were patched with fresh concrete.

To ensure water would drain away from seeping beneath the porch and down into the basement, the customer made the wise decision to protect the seam with our NexusPro® Sealant. This flexible, UV-resistant caulking prevents water and debris from falling through the crack.

The homeowner can’t believe that his porch is back to a level grade, and with a new level of protection, in less than a day. He appreciates the hard work from the entire team and is happy knowing he saved money using our non-invasive alternative.
