Sinking Concrete Threatens Older Customer in Woodbridge, Ontario

Before	After

As we get older, we have to take extra care to make sure our home is safe.

A customer in Woodbridge, Ontario, gave us a call after growing concerned with his concrete patio. He is an older gentleman, and a considerable tripping hazard had formed near his back steps. This was a dangerous tripping hazard year-round but was worse in the winter when water would pool and freeze.

Project Manager Joe McColl inspected the home, and a date was set for the repair. Foreman Kyle McKeown injected our PolyLevel® solution beneath the slab to lift the concrete back to an even grade, removing the tripping hazard.

The homeowner is thrilled with the work done. He thanks the entire CCL team and looks forward to using his back patio safely.

Corner Crisis, Woodbridge ON

Before	After

This beautiful property in Woodbridge, Ontario, had a large concrete back patio where there had been major sinking spots along the edge of the home. The homeowners wanted to increase the property by conducting some renovations, starting with the basement. However, when getting their estimate for the renovations, the contractor realized a problem on the outside. The corner of the patio was sinking by three inches to the point that the foundation was exposed. On wet days, water would pool up in that corner which raised concern about the water leaking through the home's foundation and into the basement. The patio needed to be fixed before all the renovations were affected by water damage. 

With some research, the homeowners discovered that Canadian Concrete Leveling could permanently level the concrete affordably without cutting into their renovation budget. Our Project Manager, Kyle O'Brien, arrived at the home to start inspecting the patio. He suggested that we lift the corner above the original height to create a slope where the water shoots away from the house rather than sitting on top of the slabs. Once the concrete's levelled, we will apply our NexusPro® sealant to the joints to protect them entirely from moisture. On a later day, Bill McKeown, our Installation Foreman, went to the home and began levelling. He focused on the sinking points around the corner to fill any potential voids. It was time to lift the three inches to three and a half to create a slope. Bill levelled the concrete and began applying our sealant around the perimeter. The process was quick to complete, and the homeowners can resume renovations worry-free. 

Concrete Patio Stabilized, Woodbridge , ON

Before	After

A new homeowner had just purchased a house in Woodbridge, ON. After moving in, the homeowner noticed water pooling at the back of the house. It was coming from the concrete patio which was sinking towards the foundation. If left untreated, the homeowner was worried there would be significant damage to the house if the water started leaking through the foundation to the basement. 

One of our Project Managers met with the homeowner to see exactly what was happening with the patio. He recommended our patented PolyLevel Injection System to lift and stabilize the concrete. Billy McKeown, Foreman, and installation team injected PolyLevel under the concrete slabs and leveled the patio within a few hours. The homeowner was happy to see the patio was level and that there would be no more pooling water – the foundation was safe and sound.
