Front Step is a Lot Larger than Before, Oakville, ON

This home in Oakville, ON, had a front walkway that had become a big tripping hazard. The final portion toward the staircase had started to sink, making the step up onto the first step much more prominent than usual. The hazard was added on rainy and cold days as water would pool up and then freeze, making not only a tripping hazard but a slipping one. The concrete was in great condition and did not need to be replaced, so the homeowners were finding a solution that would be cost-effective yet level the walkway back to its original height; that was when they found Canadian Concrete Leveling. Our Project Manager, Danny Dos Santos, came to the home upon our company's free estimate. He discovered that if the homeowners were to leave the concrete the way it was, water would eat away at the support underneath the staircase, causing more damage. The materials Danny recommended were our PolyLevel® injection system to lift the concrete back up and then our NexusPro® sealant that will seal the joints and protect the underneath from any elements. After everything was mapped out and finalized, our installation Foreman, Bill McKeown, and Specialist, Mikk, arrived. Our system is not only cost-effective, but it is quick curing, minimally invasive, and permanent. The duo began drilling small dime-sized holes into the base of the steps where the injections would occur. From there, Mikk hammered in injection ports that would hold our system when levelling. The levelling process was simple since the polyurethane being pumped underneath can lift and cure with any weight applied. After all the points were levelled, it was time to seal the injection holes with grout for a seamless look once everything is done. Now it is time to fill the joints with our NexusPro®. The difference with Nexus and competing brands is that this sealant does not dry out, crack, is malleable, and is colour-matched for a perfect finish. The results were terrific; take a look for yourself!
