Canadian Concrete Leveling Job Stories

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.  

Our client in Gormley, Ontario, had some sinking steps and a large crack on the top flagstone. For such beautiful steps, the issue had frequent guests such as the mailman and family members tripping on the staircase. Our client wanted to renovate the house, but knowing that the stairs are a hazard, he wanted to make sure it was fixed before proceeding elsewhere.    Our client wanted to fill the gap between the staircase and porch of the home and seal it off to the point where you don't even know work was done. Good thing we offer technologies that do those exact things. Our leveling is typically done with a lifting polyurethane solution called Polylevel®.The leveling solution is an injectable polymer that lifts any sinking concrete to your desired height and only takes 60 minutes to cure. As for our crack sealer, we use NexusPro®, which is essentially a silicone spread that is malleable and sun-protected; this product will never dry off and last a lifetime.    With the two products installed and cured, our customer was amazed by the little to no time it took and the professional job. The staircase looked brand new and left the house looking dapper. From eyesore to wow sore!  

In a perfect world, everything beautiful and good would last forever. Unfortunately for us human beings, that is not a privilege of our reality. Everything in our universe has a beginning and an end. From planets to fruit flies, all things inevitably will end. The same goes for concrete. We all wish it lasted forever, but sadly it does not. Concrete slabs commonly shift, heave and crack over long, extended periods. The soil in the ground moves with the earth, expanding and contracting depending on various factors. The most common culprit is that of Frost Heave. Essentially Kryptonite to concrete, Frost Heave is the term used to describe the slow, gradual process of water accumulating under concrete slabs; it then freezes over the winter only to thaw again come the spring. This cycle causes the water bubbles to expand and contract further, moving soil around it. Over a long enough period, the shifting of the earth below will be apparent as your concrete slabs begin to move unwittingly. This customer in Orillia, Ontario, grew frustrated over their walkway slabs that we're continuing to move around and crack year by year. They wanted to have this issue taken care of before the snow started to fall. The customer reached out to us at Canadian Concrete Leveling for our professional, friendly, and courteous service. After completion, they regained full use of their walkway and could be comfortable knowing their guests would be safe from hazards and their concrete safe from cracking.

Not many people may think about the struggles someone may have getting around on their own. Our customer in Markham, Ontario, had a mobility disability and struggled with using the front walkway of their home. The concrete slabs had settled creating trip hazards and forcing water to pool near the garage causing water damage. The primary concern was that the uneven concrete could cause serious injuries. Also, they were looking to sell the house in the near future and wanted it fixed.   After reaching out to Canadian Concrete Leveling an appointment was set up with System Design Specialist, Ron Monk. Ron recommended installing Polyurethane and NexusPro™ Sealant. The Polyurethane allows our team to lift and level settled concrete, the Polyurethane pushes down on the loose soils underneath and raises the slab eliminating trip hazards. The NexusPro™ Sealant is injected along the expanded joints and cracks to seal the concrete preventing water from seeping through.   Our customer is happy that the concrete is leveled and that our team has eliminated all the tripping hazards. The walkway is now safe and the home is ready to sell shortly.

Our customer in Markham, Ontario, had a concern with a concrete slab located on the right side of their home. The slab had sunken near the house, directing rainwater towards the foundation. Our customer's concern was that the pooling water would lead to further damages. Also, on top of the slab sat a pool heater and a pump. Since the heater was sitting at an angle, the flame was not aiming where it was supposed to, resulting in damaging the heater.   Our customer knew to call Canadian Concrete Leveling, after previously having a job completed by our company. An appointment was then set up with Project Lead, Paul Mendell. Paul advised our customer about all the benefits Polyurethane would do to fix their issue. Kyle and Steve, injected our expanding Polyurethane under the concrete.   How does Polyurethane work? Polyurethane fills the voids underneath the slab, then lifts and stabilizes the concrete back to the original height.   Our customer was pleased with the job. The slab is now stabilized and ready for a new pool heater. Water is no longer directed towards the home giving our customer peace of mind that no future damage will occur.

The homeowner was devastated that her 97-year-old father had tripped on her walkway last year. He could no longer risk stepping onto the hazardous stairs with his walker. He refused to leave the house due to his fear of falling. Once the homeowner decided to get rid of this trip hazard, she contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling for a free estimate.  Project Manager, Paul Mendell, inspected the steps and surrounding area and determined that a PolyLevel® Injection would be needed to lift and level the stairs. Foreman Kyle McKeown and his team got to work!  When the job was complete, the homeowner was ecstatic with the installation and the peace of mind it has given her. Now the homeowner's father can use the walkway without being afraid of falling. With fully functional stairs, he has left the house for the first time in more than six months. This project is an example of what makes being part of Canadian Concrete Leveling so rewarding. We are thrilled we were able to fix this problem for the homeowner and her father. 

This customer in Toronto, Ontario, was experiencing heaving in their garage floor. A large, significant crack was forming along the floor of their garage. Noticeably getting worse year by year, the crack had already shifted enough to create a 1-inch lip in the floor. An obvious tripping hazard and not one that you want in a garage where you store your belongings. Limiting access to their storage space and wreaking havoc on their peace of mind, the customer reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling for help. Installation Foreman Bill McKeown and his team arrived on the Jobsite and immediately began their meticulous process of releveling the concrete. After small holes are drilled down into the concrete, we inject our robust and patented material PolyLevel® underneath the concrete filling in the voids and then lifting the entire slab. After raising the slab 1 inch and making the garage accessible again, the customer was elated to have their space back.

Washago, ON, homeowners noticed that half of their back patio was slanting towards the home. Next, they found a crack right in the middle – one side was levelled, and the other seemed to be sinking toward the house. Not thinking anything of it, the following day, there was heavy rainfall. They saw the water sloping down the patio and pooling at the home's foundation. It was time to call professionals to handle this before it got worse and started leaking into the basement. Our Project Manager arrived at the home and explained how the concrete would be lifted with minimal disruption, with long-lasting results. These were all excellent benefits for homeowners – they said yes without hesitation. The work was completed above their expectations. They said they would even recommend our services to everyone they know! The homeowners could finally set up their patio without breaking the bank on a maintenance repair.

In Ajax, Ontario, our clients had a wonderful back patio that they love using every summer. They often entertain and lounge on the deck. Unfortunately, it came to an end when the homeowners discovered an alarming crack in the middle of the joint, leading to the foundation of the elevated concrete patio. They are concerned the deck will collapse one day, so they stopped using the space.   Demolishing and re-pouring more concrete is very expensive, and our clients wanted to avoid spending crazy amounts on fixing their beloved patio. Instead, they found CCL online and knew it was the perfect fix for an affordable price. Our Project Manager Kyle O'Brien gave them a rundown as to what would be completed. The homeowners were set at ease when they knew the concrete could be lifted, supported, and sealed off from the elements permanently.    The first part of the job was to lift the patio slabs to the original height. We inject the sinking slab with our high-density polymer called PolyLevel®. This injection holds the concrete up permanently; say goodbye to mud jacking! The next section of the job was to seal the joint with our weatherproof, chemical-proof, and malleable sealer called NexusPro. This product fills the joints and provides a clean finish to make the concrete patio look at its best. The owners were thrilled with how fast the process took and how clean NexusPro® sealed the job.
