Sinking Foundation Threatens Small Cottage in Severn Bridge, Ontario

The Trent Severn is one of the most famous waterways in Ontario. Many live directly on the water, while others use it as a channel to get to where they’re going.

The owner of a small cottage resort in Severn Bridge, Ontario, reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling after one of the small cottages had settled. The small building was built on a large concrete slab, and erosion from the nearby waterway had caused the entire building to lean.

Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the customer and inspected the cottage. Paul explained how our PolyLevel® System uses polyurethane injections to lift sinking concrete, and Foreman Kyle McKeown was tasked with the repair.

Kyle carefully injected our solution into dime-sized injection ports through the floor. He used a Zip-Level® tool to ensure the entire floor was lifting evenly. Once the repair was complete, we patched the holes with fresh concrete.

The customer is thrilled with the completed work. He is confident that the building is safe and sound, and he’s ready to sell it to the next eager cottager.
