Why does concrete settle? It can happen from poor soil conditions. As the concrete compresses against the ground, it loosens the soil and over time the weight of the concrete forces it to settle. To permanently fix this issue our team at Canadian Concrete Leveling uses Polyurethane that compacts and compresses the loose soil under the slab and lifts, levels and stabilizes the concrete. This is how we solved our customer’s sidewalk repair in Mississauga, Ontario.
Front walkways and entryways are one of the most used areas in our home. So, when something goes wrong with these spots, it’s hard to ignore.
A customer in Mississauga, Ontario, had a concrete front step that had sunk significantly. The step had turned into a tripping hazard, and the homeowner wanted it dealt with before someone got hurt.
He reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Joe McColl to review his options before a date was set for the repair. Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled holes in the top of the step and injected our PolyLevel® polyurethane beneath the concrete slab to lift it. To finish the job, he patched the drill holes with fresh concrete.
The customer is very pleased that their tripping hazard is gone for good. They can now use their front steps without worrying about anyone getting hurt.
Our client was worried about their home being a trip hazard for their family and friends. Their stairs were sinking, which caused a gap in between the steps.
When they decided to have this trip hazard removed, they called Canadian Concrete Leveling for their free estimate.
Project Manager, Joe McColl, inspected the area and concluded that a PolyLevel® Installation would be needed to remove the trip hazard on the stairs.
Once we had a plan, Kyle McKeown and his crew got to work! They installed PolyLevel® to raise and level the steps.
Now, the homeowners no longer have to worry about the trip hazard and can have their friends and family over all the time.
Winter is a hazardous time for many of us. Icy roads and walkways, snow falling off of roofs, and freezing temperatures – all of these conditions can be risky, so we do what we can to keep things safe.
A customer in Mississauga, Ontario, was dealing with a sinking front step. The concrete had settled significantly, leading to an impression in the ground where water was pooling. The client was tired of slipping on the frozen pool each winter, so he decided to reach out to Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Project Manager Joe McColl met with the customer and inspected his front walkway. Joe determined that a gap beneath the concrete caused the slab to sink. Joe explained to the customer how voids form and how our PolyLevel® System can fill them. PolyLevel® is a mixture of polymers that expands beneath the concrete. As the polyurethane expands, it lifts the slab while filling any cavities beneath the concrete.
Project Manager Bill McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. He used these holes to inject our high-density polyurethane. Once the slab was lifted, Bill sealed the seam with our NexusPro® Sealant System. NexusPro® provides a UV-resistant, watertight seal that keeps water out for years to come.
The customer is very happy with the job done by the entire Canadian Concrete Leveling team. He appreciates how upfront and honest Joe was and Bill’s timeliness and hard work.
It’s a fact that kids love playtime. Not only is it a time to make friends and memories, but it’s good for them too. What isn’t good is dealing with multiple tripping hazards standing between your home and your child’s playground.
A customer in Mississauga, Ontario, noticed the patio next to his house had started to slope towards the foundation, and several tripping hazards had formed when the concrete shifted. He was concerned about his six-year-old daughter using the walkway to access the backyard without tripping, and he wanted to keep water away from his home. Wanting to ensure his family’s safety, he reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Project Manager CJ Sharp met with the customer to inspect his walkway. While talking with the concerned parent, CJ recommended the best solution for this problem. Once a production date was scheduled for the repair, Foreman Kyle McKeown worked hard using our PolyLevel® Injection System to lift and level the patio. Kyle also fixed additional tripping hazards along with the customer’s driveway.
The customer was amazed that he could see immediate results. He loves the way his walkway and driveway look now and is thrilled that his family is safe.
