This walkway on the side of our customer’s home posed a significant tripping hazard. Also, the concrete had sloped towards the foundation which could cause water to pool damaging the house. Luckily, Canadian Concrete Leveling had the perfect solution for the settled and sinking concrete. Polyurethane was injected to lift and stabilize the customer's walkway. The transformation is incredible!
A home in Oakville, Ontario, had problems at the side of the home. There was a section at the side of the house, apart of the pool deck that had sunk 1.5” causing a trip hazard with the adjacent slabs.
The customer called Clarke Basement Systems and spoke to John DiNicolantonio, the Project Lead, who explained everything that would be done. The Canadian Concrete Leveling Foreman , Billy McKeown, drilled small, dime sized holes through the concrete and injected our PolyLevel polyurethane underneath the slabs. It followed the path of least resistance underneath the concrete to fill all of the voids and then expanded. We were able to use the expansion of the polyurethane to lift the walkway to protect them from further settlement and eliminate trip hazards.
A home in Oakville, Ontario, had problems at the at the front of the home. The front step had sunk about 1.5” causing a large trip hazard with the patio. The drop made the step up to the patio larger than regulation and was an eyesore. The customer had bad knees and would struggle to get up the step. The customer was also dissatisfied with the aesthetics of the gap and wanted to get it fixed.

An elderly homeowner in Caledon, Ontario, realized her front steps were sinking. She was extremely worried the steps were becoming a dangerous trip hazard for her and visitors that would drop by. She knew she needed to call a professional company to fix the steps correctly but had no idea who to call.
After seeing one of our videos on Instagram, the homeowner decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling. She met with Project Manager Joe McColl. He inspected the concrete steps and explained how our PolyLevel® System could lift and level them within a matter of a couple of hours. Feeling more at ease about finally getting the steps fixed, she got excited for the day the crew would arrive. She would be able to watch the work in progress!
Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled dime-sized holes in the bottom portion of the steps for the injection ports. As Kyle pumped our PolyLevel® product under the concrete, the homeowner watched the steps lift right in front of her eyes. Once the steps were level, Kyle patched the holes with fresh concrete.
The homeowner is thrilled the steps were safe to use again. She is so thankful for all of the hard work Joe and Kyle performed on her behalf. Watching the crew in action gave her complete peace of mind – she knew she wouldn’t have to worry about tripping on them anymore.
Uneven concrete walkways always pose safety issues. The concrete walkway at a home in Bolton, ON, was sinking along the front and side of the house. Tripping hazards were everywhere. The sinking concrete was also affecting the patio – it was starting to crack. The homeowner wanted to find a solution quickly for the walkway. Not only did he want to keep his family safe, but his parents also lived in the house, and he didn’t want them to worry about using the walkway or the patio.
The homeowner found Canadian Concrete Leveling and gave us a call. Our Project Lead went to speak to the homeowner and explain how our PolyLevel Injection System could fix the walkway and patio permanently. Our Foreman, Kyle McKeown, and installation team set up the PolyLevel equipment and injected polyurethane through dime-sized holes in the concrete walkway and patio. The polyurethane lifted and stabilized the concrete in both places – the entire area was level once again.
The homeowner was excited the walkway could be used again safely for everyone in the house. He was surprised the PolyLevel system could be installed so quickly within a few hours.
