Oakville's Walkway: From Hazard to Highlight
Challenge
A bustling Oakville business faced a serious safety issue: its main walkways had become a hazard for customers. Over time, soil erosion caused sections of concrete to sink by as much as three inches, creating significant trip hazards for pedestrians of all ages. Open cracks and uneven slabs also allowed water to accumulate, accelerating the concrete’s deterioration. Traditional, costly replacements were not a practical solution. The “before” images clearly showed a walkway in distress, and the property manager needed a solution that would restore safety and functionality without disrupting business operations.
Solution
Canadian Concrete Leveling provided a fast, non-invasive solution using PolyLEVEL injection. Our team carefully assessed each sunken section, drilled small, discreet ports, and injected the high-density polymer beneath the slabs. The material expanded to lift the concrete back to its original, level position. The process was swift, clean, and pedestrian access was restored almost immediately.
Ultimately, the project eliminated all trip hazards, delivering peace of mind and enhancing property value. The walkway now boasts a polished, professional appearance, boosting curb appeal. The PolyLEVEL injection ensures lasting stability, preventing future settling, while the advanced method proved far more cost-effective and time-efficient than full concrete replacement. This Oakville project is a testament to Canadian Concrete Leveling’s expertise: transforming hazardous concrete into safe, beautiful, and valuable assets with precision and speed.
