A Safer Path Home: Solving a Toronto Entryway

In many Toronto neighborhoods, the changing seasons and shifting soil can do a number on even the sturdiest concrete. This was exactly the case for a local homeowner whose front entrance had become a significant safety concern. Over time, the walkway slabs had settled so deeply that they created a massive tripping hazard right at the steps to the front door. Because the walkway had sunk away from the stairs, the "rise" of that first step had become dangerously high and uneven, making a simple walk to the door feel like a trek over broken ground.

Even though the concrete sections hadn't been perfectly flush or at the same height since the house was first built, the years of settling had made the situation much worse. The homeowners needed a solution that would bridge that gap and bring the entrance back into a safe, usable alignment. That’s when they called in Canadian Concrete Leveling.

Instead of a costly and disruptive "rip and replace" job, our team used our precision polyurethane injection process to address the root of the problem. We reached beneath the slabs to fill the voids and gently lift the concrete back toward its original position. We focused on closing those dangerous gaps and evening out the transition points that posed the greatest risk for a stumble.

The transformation was night and day. While the walkway started out disjointed and sunken, it was restored to a level of safety and stability it hadn't seen in years. By lifting the slabs to meet the steps properly, we eliminated the looming tripping hazard and gave the homeowners a smooth, predictable path to their door. It’s a perfect example of how targeted leveling can take a neglected, hazardous entrance and turn it back into a welcoming, worry-free home.
