Canadian Concrete Leveling Job Stories

Branksome Hall, a school in Toronto, Ontario had uneven pavement on the walkway of the school. There were some slabs that were uneven and not leveled with each other. There were also some slabs slanted towards a hill and that was causing students to slip off the pathway and down the hill during the winter. This was becoming a serious safety issue. The owner of the school called Canadian Concrete Leveling to come fix these hazards before the school year started up again.  Our Canadian Concrete Leveling team came in and drilled dime sized holes in the affected areas. They then pumped PolyLevel injection into the holes to fill the space under the concrete to lift and stabilize the slabs. They then needed to make sure the slab was slanted away from the hill, they used a jack to hold up the slab on one side so they could continue to use the PolyLevel polyurethane to fill the void. The Canadian Concrete Leveling team completed the job before school started so that the owner did not have to worry about trip hazards and unsafe walkways for the students. 

A home in Toronto, Ontario, had a problem with the basement floor. The Back half of floor had sunk down 2 inches. There was a large gap between floor and baseboards. The Stone wall next to fireplace was separating in the middle of the wall as well. The biggest concern was that the elderly woman living in the home might trip when going out of the back door. Another concern, was that the stone facing would separate and fall off. The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling and spoke to Paul Mendell who explained the process of our solution. Bill McKeown  and Kyle McKeown came in and used our PolyLevel injection system.  The PolyLevel was injected under the floor, to lift it back to it’s original height and permanently stabilize it. Dime sized holes were drilled in specific areas and the high-density polymer was injected under the floor slab.The customer now has a peace of mind that the home is safe, without trip hazards and the stone wall facing was safely stabilized. 

Contracting Company in Toronto, ON, needed to have their sinking concrete flooring lifted and leveled in their warehouse. Due to the heavy equipment brought in and out of the warehouse, it caused the foundation underneath the concrete floors to sink. They knew that the problem would only get worse and worse and eventually, the floor would sink to the point where it would be nearly impossible to move their equipment out of the warehouse. Luckily for them, they knew who to contact. The owners called Canadian Concrete Leveling for their free estimate where shortly after, Project Manager, Paul Mendell went to the site to assess the damage. He concluded that a PolyLevel® Injection would lift and level the concrete back to its original height. Once there was a plan set, Installation Foreman, Bill McKeown and his crew got to work. They injected the Polyurethane into the floor and lifted and leveled the concrete back to its initial stature. Now, the owners are contented that they can safely and efficiently utilize their warehouse once again.

Canada, also known as the Great White North, is internationally renowned for some of the world's harshest and coldest climates. Little known but to its inhabitants is that Canada has incredibly balmy, hot summers as well. The yearly inclusion of extreme heat comes with it, the constant need to be cool and comfortable. Pools are a fantastic and fun way to do that. Turning your ordinary backyard into a resort-like oasis, inground pools are a common dream for any homeowner the world over, especially if you live in a hot climate. Dogs, kids, elderly folk, and everyone in between can enjoy and see the inherent value a pool holds. It is a source of not just relief but joy, laughter, and love. It quickly and effortlessly becomes the centerpiece of all your summer memories, parties, and family gatherings. The last thing you want to see your pool doing is cracking. Poorly compacted soil is most used to backfill inground pools during their construction. Over time, this loose soil will not hold up the structure of the pool and the concrete around it. Moisture pockets existing in this loose soil surrounding a pool will freeze and move over time, making improperly backfilled concrete slabs the most common culprit of the damage. This type of structural damage is common in Canada because of our winters and is called frost heave. Cracking in the concrete surrounding your pool can also be a sign of significant damage to the pool itself, which begins to leak large amounts of water into the surrounding soil, thus making it more vulnerable to further damage. Ignoring cracks in any concrete is never recommended, and if not dealt with accordingly, they can and will cause additional headaches, embarrassment, and hefty repair bills. Let Canadian Concrete Leveling and its team of qualified concrete experts and installers give you not just peace of mind but a backyard you can take pride in.

A home in Thornhill, Ontario, there was a problem in the basement along the front wall. There was a small amount of water causing the carpet under a desk to be wet. This happened during a very heavy rainfall. This was a result of concrete slabs at the entrance way to the building that had settled toward the home. Water flowed toward the home and made its way into the basement over the top of the foundation. The slabs were also a trip hazard. The house which was being used for a business was going to be sold and they didn’t want to pass along an issue to any buyer.  It could affect the resale value of the property as well as continue to cause damage to building materials.  The homeowner called Canadian Concrete Leveling to fix the issues before they worsened. Ron Monk inspected the area and explained everything that would be done. Billy McKeown and his team came in and used PolyLevel polyurethane injections and NexusPro. The products were used to divert water away from the foundation and eliminate trip hazards and also to seal any joints where water could penetrate. NexusPro sealant was used to seal the joints to keep water out from indoors. The customer was satisfied because the house was ready to sell without issue.

A home in Aurora, Ontario, had sinking concrete located at the back patio and side walkway. They had sunk about 2.5” and both areas were sloping towards the foundation. After heavy rains, water would flow towards the foundation and would pool in both sunken areas. The customer was concerned that if water kept flowing towards the foundation it would eventually make its way into the basement which would cause an even bigger problem. The customer called Clarke Basement Systems and spoke with John DiNicolantonio, the Project Lead, to get all the information about the project and all questions answered.  Billy McKeown and the Canadian Concrete Leveling team came in and used the PolyLevel polyurethane System and NexusPro Joint Sealant. They were able to use the PolyLevel polyurethane System to lift and level both the back patio and side walkway. The NexusPro Joint sealant was applied between the slabs and the home to further protect the foundation from water penetration. They 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 patio and walkway to protect them from further settlement. The customer is satisfied that water is no longer flowing towards his home and that we have given them a much more usable outdoor space. 

A home in Aurora, Ontario, had a problem in the garage. The floor was cracked and sinking near the garage doors. The customer noticed that water was making its way into the cracks when it rained and every time they brought the car into the garage they were worried that the floor would crumble due to the large void beneath. With time the void beneath the slab was worsening and varmint was making its way beneath the floor through holes in the concrete. If the floor was not fixed it could have caused serious damage to the vehicles that were parked in it.  The customer called Clarke Basement Systems and our Canadian Concrete Leveling team came to fix the problem. John DiNicolantonio explained everything that would be done to the customers garage. Billy McKeown and the crew used PolyLevel polyurethane to lift and level the garage floor to improve the slope of the floor. 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 garage floor to protect it from further settlement. Once the floor was leveled the NexusPro Joint Sealant was used to seal all of the cracks and prevent water from making its way to the substrate. The customer is satisfied, as the garage floor is no longer uneven and they are now able to safely park the cars in the garage.

A home in Aurora, Ontario, had a problem that was located in the garage. The garage had settled over time and was sinking 6” in some areas. The floor was extremely cracked and was also beginning to crumble. The customers were thinking of selling the house and they knew that they could not leave the floor in its current state. It was both an eyesore and safety hazard. Water would flow to the middle of the floor and in the winter it would often freeze. The floor was also beginning to crumble which was leading to various potholes and trip hazards. The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling and spoke to John DiNicolantonio, who explained everything that would be done. Billy McKeown and Kyle McKeown came and used the PoyLevel Injection System and NexusPro Joint Sealant. Our PolyLevel Injection System is injected beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs.

Our NexusPro Joint Sealant is then applied on the cracks to help protect the substrate from further water seepage. The customer was very happy that we were able to provide a cost efficient alternative to removing and replacing their garage floor. Our solution not only saved the customer a large sum of money, but also gave them a safe and usable garage floor that is now warrantied for 10 years.
