Washout Creates Front Porch Skating Rink in Toronto, Ontario

After a hard day's work, the last thing you want when you come home is a constant reminder of your sinking front porch.

For a Toronto, Ontario customer, this was the frustrating reality. Her front porch had settled over two inches, creating a large step to cross when you walk through the front door. Ready for a change, she reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell.

Paul inspected the front of her home and determined soil had washed away from below the porch, creating a void. As time went on, the concrete's weight caused the large slab to sink down into the gap, making a trip hazard. Water would also pool in front of the door, creating a slippery pond each winter.

Foreman Kyle McKeown used our expanding polyurethane system, PolyLevel®, to lift the front porch back to a safe grade. PolyLevel® utilizes two unique polymers that mix during installation, creating a reaction that forces the concrete up.

The homeowner is delighted with the entire experience using Canadian Concrete Leveling. She saved a small fortune avoiding a new front porch, and her winter skating rink is finally gone.
