Stepping into your home is a breeze, but it was a challenge for this one. In Queensville, Ontario, these homeowners had a front walkway sink 2 inches causing pooling/ice and a larger step into the home. They heard of Canadian Concrete Leveling through one of their friends, who happened to be our clients. Without hesitation, they gave us a call, and we could schedule a day for our experienced Project Manager, Paul Mendell, to come to the home. After Paul arrived, he quoted them for our high-grade polyurethane injection system called PolyLevel®. This system is where we inject polyurethane into the concrete to fill voids underneath. From there, the material expands, which causes the concrete to lift back to its original building code. Once all the numbers were crunched, we had our installation specialist, Bill McKeown, arrived later. Bill started by drilling small holes into the concrete where the sinking happened. From there, he began injecting the polyurethane to lift and level the walkway. Finally, to seal everything off, he sued our high-grade, water-resistant, chemical-resistant sealer called NexusPro®. Once everything was said and done, the walkway looked good as new!
There’s something about sitting on a front porch. Not all homes have them, but they’re a great place to hang out with family and friends: unless your porch is cracking and sloping.
A customer in Burk’s Falls, Ontario, had a front porch that was starting to crack and sink. There was a significant slope away from the home, making the owner unsteady when walking. She was growing concerned about the problem getting worse, so she reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Project Manager Joe McColl met the customer at her home and inspected the porch. Fill soils had washed away below, leading to the sinking porch. Joe showed the homeowner our solution, and a date was set for the repair.
Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled several dime-sized holes throughout the front porch and injected our high-density polyurethane, PolyLevel®. PolyLevel® expands beneath the concrete and lifts the concrete simultaneously while also compressing soils below.
The customer can’t wait to use her porch again safely. She was thrilled with how fast the work was completed and appreciated Joe’s honesty and professionalism.
When something goes wrong at your home, it can be hard to know where to turn. Choosing the right contractor can be hard, but making the right choice makes the entire process that much easier.
A customer in Orillia, Ontario, decided to reach out to us after dealing with pooling water on their back patio for several years. Whenever the temperatures dropped, she dealt with a miniature skating rink, and she was concerned about water seeping into her basement.
Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the homeowner and inspected her back patio. Paul showed her how our PolyLevel® Solution works, and she was excited to hear that the concrete didn’t need to be ripped apart and repoured.
Foreman Mark Sealy started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete. Using these ports, he injected our high-density polyurethane. Once injected, PolyLevel® expands beneath the concrete compressing any fill soils and lifting the slab. Mark injected slowly, keeping control of the amount of polymer being used and lifting the concrete evenly.
The customer is very happy with the work down by Canadian Concrete Leveling and wishes she gave us a call years sooner.
A customer in Cumberland Beach, Ontario, was concerned about their backyard. As custom home builders, they take extreme pride in the workmanship and the look of their home. Unfortunately, their beautiful flagstone patio had gone from backyard oasis to cracked and sloped water collector. The flagstone was built on top of concrete pads, which sunk when the substrate beneath them settled. This caused water to drain towards the foundation instead of away from it, making the patio unsightly and creating cracks and tripping hazards. The customer had also installed two unique, large armour stones that connected to the patio, which sank significantly due to the weight. Ready to bring their backyard back to life, they reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the customer to review their options. After creating a plan, a date was set for Foreman Bill McKeown and Installation Specialist Mark Sealy to complete the work. They injected PolyLevel® in numerous locations, slowly raising and leveling the concrete. PolyLevel® not only raises the concrete, but it also compacts the ground below it, helping to prevent future settlement. To seal the cracks, Bill & Mark used our NexusPro® Sealant. NexusPro® is resistant to UV light and extreme temperatures, creating a seal that not only looks great but lasts long too!
The homeowners are thrilled that they no longer have to worry about water draining towards their foundation and any tripping hazards. Their backyard looks great once again, and they can continue to take pride in their home and workmanship thanks to Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Hide it and forget it is sometimes an option we turn to. We throw something away in the storage room, or we use a rug to cover a small stain. It works, but it’s not the best way to remedy a situation.
A customer in Orillia, Ontario, had an old carpet on his front porch. It had been there for years, and when he finally removed it, he found cracking and sinking throughout his concrete porch. His neighbours had previously had work done by us, so he decided to give us a call too.
The homeowner met with Project Manager Paul Mendell, and a date was set for the repair. Foreman Kyle McKeown used our PolyLevel® system to lift and level the concrete, while also compressing the fill soils below. This prevents any further sinking or a washout down the road.
With the work complete, the customer is ecstatic about his front porch. He was impressed with the job done and has recommended us to family and friends.
