Poor Fill Soils Lead to Brand-New Driveway Sinking in Richmond Hill, Ontario

Before	After

Building a custom home is an exciting endeavour. Not only are you making a significant life decision, but you also get to build your dream home to your liking.

 A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, had just finished having his custom home built. He added in a beautiful patterned concrete driveway, but the substrate below was never adequately prepared. His brand-new driveway was already sinking, and he wanted to remedy the problem.

Unsure of who to turn to, he called Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. Paul showed the customer how we could efficiently fix his driveway, and a date was set for the repair.

Foreman Bill McKeown used our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane to lift the driveway in several spots. PolyLevel® expands under pressure, raising the slabs and compressing the poorly prepared substrate.

The customer is thrilled that his driveway is fixed. He can finally enjoy his custom home, knowing his driveway is safe and protected.

Guests Complain About Sinking Front Steps in Richmond Hill, Ontario

Before	After

When you have company over, the last thing you want is for them to trip and fall before they even make it into your house.

A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling after hearing visitors' complaints about their front steps. The concrete was settling, which created a considerable trip hazard right in front of the main door.

Project Manager Joe McColl travelled to the home and inspected the front walkway. The step was sinking evenly, so Joe determined the cause was poor fill materials. As these soils erode and wash away over time, it makes room for the step to sink. Joe showed the customer a demonstration video of how our PolyLevel® System uses expanding polyurethane injections to lift the steps back to a safe grade.

Foreman Kyle McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. He used these holes as injection ports for our high-density polyurethane. Kyle carefully installed the solution while ensuring the steps lifted evenly. Once the repair was complete, Kyle patched the holes with fresh concrete. 

The customer is happy his guests no longer complain every time they come over. His investment is protected, and he's comfortable knowing our solution comes with a warranty.

Garage Floor Leveled and Sealed, Richmond Hill, ON

Before	After

A homeowner in Richmond Hill, ON, was very concerned about their concrete garage floor. There was a crack along one side, and it appeared the concrete was sinking. Somehow water was flowing through the crack creating hollow areas or voids under the concrete affecting the integrity of the rest of the floor. The homeowner became very worried the situation would rapidly get worse. The floor needed to be fixed soon as the homeowner was preparing to put the house up for sale.

The homeowner decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling to find out what options were available. Our Project Lead met with the homeowner and discussed the benefits of our PolyLevel® Injection System. Our installation team injected PolyLevel under the garage floor to lift and stabilize the concrete. NexusPro® was also used to seal the crack to prevent water from leaking under the floor.

The homeowner was so happy with the project – the garage floor looked better than they could have ever imagined making the home, and garage, ready to put on the market.
