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.

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.

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.

Concrete pool decks are known to settle as the overflow of the water rinses out the loose soils under the concrete. That's exactly what had happened to our customer in Peterborough, Ontario. Their concrete pool deck had settled causing their waterfall to flow backwards and flood the nearby garden instead of into the pool. They were in need of a permanent fix!   An appointment was set up with Project Manager for Canadian Concrete Leveling, Paul Mendell. Our customer addressed their concerns to Paul, and he provided a cost-efficient solution. Bill, Team Leader and Installation Specialist Kenny, injected Polyurethane under the sunken concrete to fill voids and lift and stabilize the deck.   Due to the extreme added weight of the waterfall rocks, our team recommended installing an airbag mat-jack to support the waterfall rocks. The water now flows into the pool instead of flooding their nearby garden. The installation was quick, and our customer was delighted to have the waterfall working correctly again.

Homeowners in Brighton, Ontario, were experiencing some significant shifts in their garage walls due to concrete settlement of the floors.

Canadian Concrete Leveling was contacted to help the homeowners with the concrete settlement in hopes of finding a solution that was the easiest and most effective route. Project Manager Joe McColl gave the homeowners a fantastic solution that would help prevent their structural damage from progressing using our PolyLevel® injectable polyurethane.
