Sinking Back Patio Creates Patch of Ice in Orillia, Ontario

When something goes wrong at your home, it can be hard to know where to turn. Choosing the right contractor can be hard, but making the right choice makes the entire process that much easier.

A customer in Orillia, Ontario, decided to reach out to us after dealing with pooling water on their back patio for several years. Whenever the temperatures dropped, she dealt with a miniature skating rink, and she was concerned about water seeping into her basement. 

Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the homeowner and inspected her back patio. Paul showed her how our PolyLevel® Solution works, and she was excited to hear that the concrete didn’t need to be ripped apart and repoured. 

Foreman Mark Sealy started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete. Using these ports, he injected our high-density polyurethane. Once injected, PolyLevel® expands beneath the concrete compressing any fill soils and lifting the slab. Mark injected slowly, keeping control of the amount of polymer being used and lifting the concrete evenly.

The customer is very happy with the work down by Canadian Concrete Leveling and wishes she gave us a call years sooner.
