Canadian Concrete Leveling Job Stories

A home in Stayner, Ontario had a walkway that sank towards the home and the steps had also sank, tilting down.  Rainwater was running towards the foundation wall and the homeowner was worried it would leak into the basement. The top step of the porch was too high and the homeowner knew it was difficult for their older parent to use the steps.  The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling and spoke to Paul Mendell who explained the solution we had to their problem. Bill Mckeown and Kyle Mckeown came and used PolyLevel Injection and NexusPro Sealant. We injected the high density, structural grade polymer, to lift and stabilize the walkway and front steps. After leveling, the sealant was applied along the home wall and around the steps. The walkway was lifted and stabilized back to its original pour level, so that water runs away from the home. The steps were lifted back to correct height and straightened. Applying NexusPro Sealant afterwards, ensured that no water could penetrate between the walkway and wall, as well as behind or under the steps.  The customer was satisfied with the job and it gave them the peace of mind that their steps were now safely back to the correct height and that no water could get down the foundation wall.

Front landings are meant to be flat and safe. A home in Hamilton, Ontario, had a concrete pad at the bottom of the front steps that was slopping forward to the front lawn. Beside the pad was the driveway that has its own set of concrete slabs. With the one pad sloping more than the driveway, the separation between the two developed a tripping hazard. Not only is the tripping hazard afoot but in the wet and colder months, slipping was an issue too!    The homeowners were undergoing renovations inside the home and wanted to budget this fix accordingly. By saving the concrete slabs and permanently lifting them, Canadian Concrete Leveling fits that criteria. After the initial call was made, our Project Manager, Matt Ruskin, arrived at the site to provide an estimate. Then later that week, our Installation Supervisor, Kyle McKeown, started the project of lifting the slab to its original position.    Our lifting process is done with our highly dense polyurethane, known as PolyLevel®. The beauty of polyurethane verse other methods is the durability, quick expansion, and lightweight material it is. The job took just under half an hour and did not interrupt the foot traffic of the renovations happening in the home. The owners are much calmer knowing they don't have to take the staircase in fear of hurting themselves. 

Hamilton, Ontario, has a lot of older homes where concrete has settled. In many circumstances, the concrete that tends to sink/shift first is the driveway, walkways, then the porch. This house had all three going for it, and the homeowners wanted to fix it before it became a severe hazard when navigating in and out of the home—starting with the home's driveway. The driveway had shifted from soil settlement, causing it to sink at specific points, revealing tripping hazards. Moving on to the front porch. The porch started following the same pattern as the driveway and started falling to expose the foundation and make the step into the home much larger. Since the owners were elderly, any obstacle stopping them from getting in and out of the house made it ten times more difficult for them to get around.    They needed to fix this as soon as possible, so worry about hurting themselves is left at bay. A friend recommended a company that could level the concrete within the same day without ripping up the existing concrete; that company was Canadian Concrete Leveling. Our Project Manager, Matt Ruskin, set the homeowners at ease with a detailed quote and honest pricing. Later that week, our Installation Specialist, Bill McKeown, came to the home to inject the concrete slabs with our polyurethane. Once the injections were made, the concrete immediately lifted back to its original position. The homeowners were amazed by the same-day process and couldn't thank Bill and Matt enough for their treatment.

This customer in Waterdown, Ontario, was growing increasingly concerned about a noticeable crack in the slabs surrounding their backyard pool. Shifting of the earth underneath the ground is a common culprit that causes this issue. This customer’s concrete slab had moved so much to the point where it was creating a dangerous lip, which is already a tripping hazard but will continue to get worse over time. Canadian Concrete Leveling knows that there is only one proper way to prevent further damage to heaving concrete. Our friendly and courteous Installation Specialists inject a unique polyurethane material called PolyLevel®. Our amazing PolyLevel® product is not only strong, but it is also very smart. Engineered to follow the path of least resistance, it fills in any voids and gaps underneath the concrete, securely lifting the entire slab back to a safe, level grade. Once the job was completed in a time-efficient and secure manner, the customer was happy to have their pool back and their peace of mind.

Homeowners Jim and Cheryl have an amazing home in Milton, ON but had some issues with their Backyard, specifically around the pool area that they felt had to be fixed because of all the cracks and unleveled surfaces. They pondered and researched ways they could fix the many unleveled surfaces around their pool and came across Clarke Basement Systems and Canadian Concrete Leveling online. They saw so many great reviews and decided to give them a phone call. After setting up an appointment with Trevor who took them around their home, gave them detailed information on how exactly we could help them and found other potential issues that they could fix, they felt comfortable booking us to do the job. A team came in and got the entire job done within half a day and also cleaned up the area perfectly. Overall it was a great job and great team, I would definitely use and recommend them again.

A home in Bolton, Ontario had problems located at both the front and side of the house. The concrete walkway that surrounds most of the house was sinking in various areas causing tripping hazards in the walkway. When the concrete patio was poured the substrate was not properly compacted/compressed. Over time the weight of the concrete has further compressed the loose substrate—leading to the sinking and cracking in the patio. With the concrete sloping towards the home it allowed for rainwater to pool along the foundation which could lead to a basement water. The uneven concrete was a safety hazard as the customer’s parents lived in the home as well. The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling and talked to John DiNicolantonio who explained our solution to the problem. Kyle McKeown came in and used our PolyLevel Injection System. It is injected beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs. Our polyurethane injection compresses the substrate and then lifts the concrete, thus ensuring that the area is protected from further settlement. The customer is satisfied that all the tripping hazards have been removed and the walkway now slopes away from the home.  

A new Gazebo in a family backyard was ready to be used this summer when the homeowners discovered a significant change in the concrete position leveling. They realized it had begun to sink and grew concerned they would need to replace the concrete completely, which would cost them a hearty amount of money. Canadian Concrete Leveling was happy to help these homeowners and went the traditional route for this job. The crew used our PolyLevel® that is an injectable polyurethane material. It performs to lift and level the concrete back to its original grade. Not to mention, once it is installed it can be used as soon as thirty minutes after! When finished, the homeowners were glad to know their concrete was fixed without any heavy construction or financial dents.

This home in Brampton, Ontario, had a significant amount of concrete cracking and settling in both the front and backyard. They called Canadian Concrete Leveling as they needed a long-lasting solution that didn’t entail replacing all the concrete surrounding their home. Luckily, we do just that!   A highly trusted team from CCL went out to Brampton to fix the concrete – a time-efficient and cost-effective process that takes less time to install than traditional methods.   Our patented PolyLevel® expanding polyurethane was injected in small dime-sized drilled holes in and under the concrete. The polyurethane lifts and levels the concrete back to its proper grade. Next, we used NexusPro® as a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete and lasts for years to come.   The team completed the job in no time. The customer was so glad she made the right decision calling CCL to save her time and money while also giving her a trustworthy solution.  

A home in Brampton, Ontario, had some problems with the pool deck in the back yard. The pool deck was sinking in various areas along the back half of the pool. Not only was it an eyesore but the sinking concrete created various trip hazards around the pool. If it was not taken care of immediately then the concrete could continue to sink and trip hazards could worsen. The customer was concerned that the pool deck would continue to sink and that someone would trip and fall into the pool. They called Clarke Basement Systems and the Canadian Concrete Leveling team went to fix the problem. John DiNicolantonio explained everything that would be done to the pool deck. Billy McKeown and the team injected PolyLevel polyurethane beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs. Our expanding polyurethane is compress the substrate and lift the concrete to ensure the area is protected from further settlement. We drilled small dime sized holes through the concrete and injected our PolyLevel polyurethane underneath the slabs. The polyurethane followed the path of least resistance underneath the concrete to fill all of the voids and then expanded. We were able to use the expansion of the polyurethane to lift the pool deck to protect them from further settlement. The customer was satisfied that we were able to remove the trip hazards around their pool deck without making a complete mess of their backyard. The customer has been left with a safe and usable space thanks to Canadian Concrete Leveling.  

Our clients in Brampton were concerned about two things, that their sinking walkway was a trip hazard, and if the sinking got any worse it would cause water to run to the foundation of their home and damage it. When they decided they wanted to prevent any further damage and to repair their walkway, they gave Canadian Concrete Leveling a call to solve the problem.  Our Project Manager, Joe McColl, assessed the situation and concluded that the walkway would need a PolyLevel® injection and sealant to lift and repair the walkway and eliminate trip hazards. With a plan set, Kyle McKeown and his production team went to the home to complete the job.  Once the PolyLevel® and sealant were installed, the homeowners were thrilled and relieved to have their walkway repaired and no longer have to worry about having trip hazards or any damage to their foundation.
