Canadian Concrete Leveling Job Stories

A home in Whitestone, Ontario had a garage slab that had settled over time. This caused the slab to slope to one side of garage.-This garage was not old so both the builder and the owner wanted it fixed so that it wouldn't worsen over time.    They called Canadian Concrete Leveling and talked to Rob Malcomson about exactly what would need to be done. Bill Mckeown and the team came in and used PolyLevel injections to life and stabilize the slab. The PolyLevel foam is injected under the slab and fills the voids that are causing the slab to sink. They then used NexusPro sealant against the wall and the floor to block any water leakage. Th slab is now in the original position and is warrantied for 10 years. Both the builder and the customer are very happy.    

Our Brampton customers had just invested in rubber layover for their back patio to make the concrete more comfortable to walk on. Unfortunately, soon after it was laid down, they discovered the concrete was sinking and needed to be repaired. They were worried that the rubber layover would need to be removed, and they wasted their money. C CL assured them we could save it. Sure enough, the team used our patented product called PolyLevel®, which is a polyurethane material injected through small, dime-sized holes under the concrete. Once installed, the substance expands and lifts the concrete by filling the gap between the concrete and settled soil. The untouched rubber layover and lifted concrete left our customers relieved we could fix their problem without interfering with their other investments.

You’re on a road trip and you notice you need to take a break, get some snacks, pump gas, and relax. You pull into the next OnRoute and on the drive in, you hit a severe bump that almost pops your tire. Without thinking twice, you get out of the car and make your way inside. When you’re about to step in, you trip over the same concrete slab that your car just hit on the way in. Injured and annoyed you wonder why this OnRoute isn’t fixing this hazard. In Innisfil, Ontario, this pit stop had this exact problem. The 4-foot concrete slab leading into the shop had started sinking leaving the joint connecting the two much larger than normal, inviting tripping and driving hazards. With a quick call away, the OnRoute Property Managers found Canadian Concrete Leveling to level out the problematic slab. Once the call was made, we were able to send our Paul Mendell, our experienced Project Manager, to the OnRoute and take a closer look. With the description of the job prior, Paul knew what kind of work needed to be done, he just needed to crunch the numbers, see how long it will take and how long it takes. Once the quote was completed, our installation crew came on a later day. Our experienced gentlemen, Kyle Mckeown, Installation Supervisor, and JP Basto, our Installation Specialist, arrived on the site later that week. They were assigned to use our polyurethane injections into the concrete slab then sealed off with fresh concrete. The sealing part is hardly noticeable since the holes for the poly are the size of a dime. Polyurethane is the ideal method to lift and level your concrete. It is quick, durable, lightweight, cost effective, and non-invasive. Other methods can be too heavy, causing the soil underneath to shift more, can be too invasive and ruin the concrete, costly, and very time consuming. This way, a lightweight solution like polyurethane, can fix wonders. The OnRoute from JP and Kyle took under an hour to set up, work, and cleanup. You can now travel to your nearest stop and not have to worry. 

This concrete driveway needs help since it is causing the homeowners many problems. This home in Listowel had a driveway that settled to the point of revealing tri[pign hazards ds and foundation integrity loss. The homeowners were worried that people would hurt themselves when walking up and down the driveway and that the home;'s foundation would be eaten away by the wet weather. The homeowners needed to level out the concrete before its too late. Researching companies was easy because they found Canadian Concrete Leveling to do the work they were looking for. Our Project Manager, Andy Moncrieff, arrived at that home to quote our new clients and see how we can level their concrete permanently, effectively, and within their budget. The homeowners were quite impressed with the installation process and our professionalism. On a later date, we had our installation team, Kyle and JP, arrive to begin our leveling process. They were very particular about what goes where and how to install everything and were very courteous with the time they were at home. Our process took under an hour to complete from start to clean up, and the concrete was levelled almost immediately. Our curing time is minimal, and the owners can use the driveway shortly after. This driveway is now levelled permanently. 

Homeowners Jennifer and Mike live in a beautiful home in King City with a double car garage. One day they noticed a small void beneath the right side entrance area of the garage under the concrete. As time went by the void got larger and larger. Mike and Jennifer spoke to each other about some possible solutions, then decided to call a few companies to get their opinions of what to do.  They came across Clarke Basement Systems and Canadian Concrete Leveling who suggested an affordable, fast way to fix the hole underneath the side of the garage and also the unleveled garage floors they have. The installer, Billy at Clarke Basement Systems used PolyLevel and injected it on the centre grid pattern and also filled the void beneath the garage. The homeowners were very happy and felt safe again in their home.

This customer wanted to bring his old boathouse back to its former glory and logically the first step is to ensure the concrete foundation is strong level, and true. The customer also wanted to sleep easy knowing their boat, their baby was sleeping safe and sound just a couple feet from their door. Project Manager Paul Mandell quickly got to work and designed a custom solution that will withstand the test of time. In a timely and professional manner, the installation team got to work repairing the concrete and sealed it, making it appear brand new. With the concrete foundation under the boathouse repaired the customer could continue their renovation with peace of mind. All they need to think about now is how beautiful it is going to look when the renovation is completed.

Stepping into your home shouldn't be an issue. Porches are meant to hold you, not sink on you. In this case, a home in Windsor, Ontario, had a sinking porch which caused the steps leading into the home to elongate which created tripping hazards for the owners and their guests. Not only was the porch sinking, but the concrete driveway developed a huge. The crack was a big concern since it invites water damage and eventually makes the slab sink forming trip hazards.      The homeowners did not want to replace the concrete since it was in good condition. They rather lift and seal it to save the extra bucks. Canadian Concrete Leveling was about to do exactly that! After the initial call from the homeowners, our Project Manager, Andy Moncrieff, inspect the home and the situation at hand. The owners were happy to trust Andy since he had years of experience with our products and was able to provide an honest opinion. After Andy examined the area and provided solutions, the installation team was scheduled for production. Kyle McKeown and Russell VanderMeulen arrived to get the work done. The porch needed PolyLevel® injections, which lifts the concrete while permanently filling in the voids underneath. This process usually takes under half an hour to set up and finish. Their next target point was the large crack in the driveway. It needed a sealant that does not dry out, crack, react poorly to chemicals, and is waterproof. Thankfully we have a sealant that can do exactly that- NexusPro®!    With the process only taking a couple of hours, the owners were impressed with the communication from start to finish, the results, and the cleanup. They recommended us to neighbours in their community which everyone at CCL appreciates.    

This home in Windsor, Ontario, had some troublesome basement steps. The homeowners reported that the back patio slabs had fallen against the foundation causing water to leak into the basement and turning the stairs into a tripping hazard. On numerous occasions the owner and family members had tripped, even fell, on the steps. With the amount of entertaining they do, this problem needed to be fixed as soon as possible.    With the help of our Project Manager, Andy Moncrieff suggest that PolyLevel® injections would lift the staircase to their original, level position, and stop water going into the foundation. Installation Specialists Billy and Aidan McKeown did the installation on a later day. With the process taking under fifteen minutes and the curing process to take just under an hour, this staircase was looking great again. The tripping hazards were non-existent, and the basement was dry as dry can be.   

Basement floors are unfortunately prone to shifting over time and becoming off level. Frost Heave is a common culprit that causes this. Frost Heave is where moisture makes its way into the soil around a foundation. Those moisture pockets freeze and move when subzero temperatures occur, causing large cracks and potentially shifting concrete in your basement. Not only is an off-level basement floor embarrassing, but it is also unsafe for anyone walking on it. Canadian Concrete Leveling has a unique system that is commonly used for this issue, and it is called PolyLevel®. After Andy, the Project Manager developed a game plan; the installation team began the simple process of applying the PolyLevel® technology. After dime-sized holes are drilled into the concrete, the polyurethane material is pressurized and sprayed through the concrete, following the path of least resistance. The result is a perfectly level basement floor. Free of embarrassment, tripping hazards and prepped to be renovated into a dream basement.

A community centre in London, Ontario had a hazardous walkway that disrupted the daily foot traffic from the workers and community. The slabs had shifted to different heights and angles which made it challenging to walk from one end to the other. The community centre noticed that the walkway slabs are in good condition and don't need replacing, rather they need to be levelled. The community centre found Canadian Concrete Leveling to fix the hazard and complete it within the same day.    Our Project Manager, Andy Moncreiff, assessed the situation and told the centre that the slabs will be lifted using our high-density polyurethane and will take under fifteen minutes to complete so it won't interrupt the foot traffic. On a later day, our installation team came in to complete the work. The beautiful thing about our job sites is that the process is non-invasive, and the clean-up makes the concrete look brand new.  The community centre was amazed by the work completed and how the slabs look brand new and the fact that they do not have to worry anymore about tripping when coming and going.
