Canadian Concrete Leveling Before & After Photos

Finally! Pool season has arrived! There’s nothing better for pool owners than to sit and enjoy watching their kids use the pool in the backyard while mom and dad can relax with an ice-cold beverage. But, to have relaxation and peace of mind means that the kids are safe around the pool area.

This customer in Bolton, Ontario, was excited to get the pool going this year for his three children but grew concerned for their safety when they discovered the concrete slabs surrounding the perimeter of the pool had settled and cracked.

Kyle McKeown and his installation team from Canadian Concrete Leveling looked after this job efficiently and professionally. First, they sealed all the broken concrete together with our NexusPro® solution that will hold together through extreme wheather, and cures within 1 hour of application. Next, our PolyLevel® expandable polyurethane is injected through small dime-sized holes drilled into the concrete. This is the most innovative solution to sinking concrete as it is non-invasive, quick to install, and is a huge money saver compared to other methods. Within a short time, both solutions cured, and our customer could open his pool for his children to enjoy!

Innisfil, Ontario's OnRoute had a significant hazard forming on the driveway in front. The 4-foot concrete slab had started to sink due to soil erosion beneath. This caused a lip to include in the joint, making it a tripping hazard and an unwanted lump for drivers. The property managers acted and did some research on where they found us. As a result, we can lift the existing concrete back to its original height without damaging the surface, taking days at a time, being cost-effective, and not interrupting the daily traffic. 

We sent our Project Manager, Paul Mendell, for our free estimate guarantee. Paul was able to diagnose the problem, where the injections of our polyurethane would go, how long it would take, and who will be coming to the job site. Once the quote was done and uploaded, it was time to send our Installation Supervisor, Kyle McKeown, to the job. Accompanying him was our Installation Specialist JP Basto. With commercial work, we typically send out two specialists to be time effective and make sure there are two sets of eyes confirming all the components are done well. Kyle and JP started drilling holes into the problematic concrete slab and attached metal caps to prepare for the PolyLevel® machine. The machine is a gun-shaped mechanism attached to a 300ft+ insulated hose that keeps the polyurethane in liquid form, and once it's pumped out, it expands and becomes solid. The polyurethane was pumped through, lifting the surface in seconds. The great thing about polyurethane curing as quickly as it does is that the surface can be used eight after the cleanup, which eliminates traffic in the high-trafficked space. Once the PolyLevel® is underneath, the holes that were drilled in earlier then get filled up by concrete to conceal the invasion that was done and give the work a clean look. The process alone took under half an hour, and the concrete looked similar to when it was first installed.

It is very tedious when trying to come and go from your garage, and you keep running over a lip in your garage's threshold. Going in is challenging since you stop at the lip and accelerate a bit more, causing your car to roll over uncontrollably until you hit the brakes and get an unwanted amount of speed when reversing over the lip. Disregarding the vehicle, it is also a tripping hazard when walking in or out. 

The homeowners called Canadian Concrete Leveling, and our Project Manager, Andy Moncrieff, was on site. After analyzing the threshold and coming up with a schematic of how and where he will level the concrete, he sent his installation team another day to complete the job. Installation specialists Kyle McKeown and Russell were going to lift the concrete using PolyLevel®, a high-density, quick expanding polyurethane, and then seal off the joints using our NexusPro® sealant. The process only took under 15 minutes and did not disrupt the foot traffic, which left the homeowners happy that they could use the driveway in no time! 

In Windsor, Ontario, this home had sinking concrete slabs and a staircase that started to expose the foundation—the wall-to-floor joints being exposed, making it vulnerable to moisture attacking the foundation. The foundation was at risk; visitors were at risk for tripping hazards from the sinking concrete. With the schematics from our Project Manager Andy Moncrieff and Installation Specialist Kyle McKeown, the problem would be resolved in no time. First, PolyLevel® Injections were done to raise the concrete. Then Kyle sealed off the joints with our weatherproof, long-lasting sealant called NexusPro®. 

In Windsor, Ontario, a home had a sinking porch, causing the front step to be significantly lower than before. This elongated step caused many tripping hazards for the owners and guests when entertaining. The home also had a larger crack running alongside the porch, which was destined for water saturation, potential shifting, and another tripping hazard. The homeowners wanted to level the concrete porch and seal the crack without replacing the concrete. Thankfully Canadian Concrete Leveling can do precisely that! 

After calling and inquiring about a solution, our Project Manager, Andy Moncrieff, arrived at the site to give a quote. The homeowners were excited about Andy's knowledge of Canadian Concrete Leveling’s products and how the products are used to permanently fix sinking concrete.

When our installation team arrived to repair the step, they used our high-density polyurethane to lift the porch and lessen the gap between the steps. Next, they moved on to the crack running alongside the porch and used our permanent sealant, NexusPro®. This sealant is anti-cracking, malleable, waterproof and chemical-resistant, making it a permanent solution!

The work was done the same day and only under half an hour to complete! The homeowners were thrilled with the result from the initial call to the cleanup! Job done on our part, and job well done to the porch staying up!

Job well done on our part to keep the porch staying up!
