Busted Your Lip

One thing we can never seem to have enough of is storage space. Every inch of our basements, crawl spaces, attics and garages are all filled to the brim with stuff. Gathering is simply a natural human instinct and, in most cases, should be embraced. Staying prepared and proactive are important qualities to possess in a country like Canada. Canada has two extreme seasons that require drastically different footwear, clothing, and hobbies, hence our constant need for “stuff.” Like golfing in the winter or skiing in the summer, we must adapt our approach constantly to the changing weather season by season. Some climates are lucky enough to have one static season; for example, skiing in the Caribbean is unheard of, but golfing in February is wholly embraced. The people living in these relatively static environments have the fortunate luxury of sticking to one outfit, sport, and hobby all year round. Canadians, on the other hand, do not have that luxury, far from it.

Your storage space must be dry, clean, and accessible to you and your belongings. This customer in Toronto was experiencing cracking and heaving in their garage floor creating a large lip right through the middle of the space. Concerned about continued safe access and use of their storage area, they required a solution.

Initially the customer consulted with our Project Manager Kyle O’Brien, who answered any questions the customer may have been curious about. He then developed a custom non-invasive solution using our PolyLevel® technology to level their garage floor. Once the customer has approved the solution; the specifics and details of the project were forwarded over to our Installation Specialists.

After showing up early on-site to explain the process thoroughly to the customer, foreman Bill McKeown and his team began their installation of our unique and patented PolyLevel® system. After drilling small, dime-size holes into the garage floor, our polyurethane material is injected underneath the concrete. Following the path of least resistance, this strong material fills in gaps and voids, slowly and securely raising the entire slab of concrete. Once this process is complete, the initial holes are filled in, returning the concrete to its original look. The customer can now faithfully use their space to store their items without being concerned for their safety.
