The gap in the original concrete entrance wasn’t just an eyesore—it posed a serious risk to the home’s foundation. When joints separate this significantly, water can funnel directly into the subgrade, washing away supporting soil and causing slabs to sink even further.
Canadian Concrete Leveling stepped in to halt this cycle of damage. First, our team lifted the concrete to help close the gap, restoring the proper alignment of the slabs. We then prepped the void and applied our Premium Crack & Joint Sealant, which bonds to the concrete to form a 100% waterproof barrier. Unlike traditional fillers, our sealant is engineered to remain flexible, stretching and compressing through Canada’s extreme temperature changes without cracking or peeling.
The result is more than just a professional-looking finish—it’s long-term structural protection that keeps your property level, safe, and secure.
In many Toronto neighborhoods, the changing seasons and shifting soil can do a number on even the sturdiest concrete. This was exactly the case for a local homeowner whose front entrance had become a significant safety concern. Over time, the walkway slabs had settled so deeply that they created a massive tripping hazard right at the steps to the front door. Because the walkway had sunk away from the stairs, the "rise" of that first step had become dangerously high and uneven, making a simple walk to the door feel like a trek over broken ground.
Even though the concrete sections hadn't been perfectly flush or at the same height since the house was first built, the years of settling had made the situation much worse. The homeowners needed a solution that would bridge that gap and bring the entrance back into a safe, usable alignment. That’s when they called in Canadian Concrete Leveling.
Instead of a costly and disruptive "rip and replace" job, our team used our precision polyurethane injection process to address the root of the problem. We reached beneath the slabs to fill the voids and gently lift the concrete back toward its original position. We focused on closing those dangerous gaps and evening out the transition points that posed the greatest risk for a stumble.
The transformation was night and day. While the walkway started out disjointed and sunken, it was restored to a level of safety and stability it hadn't seen in years. By lifting the slabs to meet the steps properly, we eliminated the looming tripping hazard and gave the homeowners a smooth, predictable path to their door. It’s a perfect example of how targeted leveling can take a neglected, hazardous entrance and turn it back into a welcoming, worry-free home.
Years of soil settlement caused this exterior slab to sink, creating a trip hazard and directing water toward the foundation.
We lifted the slab using structural-grade polyurethane and sealed all cracks to prevent future water damage.
The Result? The slab is now safe, level, and blends seamlessly with the surrounding concrete. This repair not only eliminates the trip hazard but also protects the foundation from water damage, showing that a full replacement isn’t always necessary.
The front walkway had become a bit of a hazard, with uneven concrete slabs causing trips and pooling water after rain. The height difference between the step and the walkway was quite noticeable—around 2 inches—and it was clearly time for a fix.
Now, the entrance is level, safe, and welcoming. The concrete slab in front of the door is seamlessly integrated with the stone pathway, eliminating trip hazards and water buildup. The result is not just a safer step, but a more polished look overall. It’s a small change that made a big impact!
What starts as a small crack can quickly turn into a safety concern—and that's exactly what happened on this residential sidewalk in Port Perry, Ontario. Years of settling had created uneven, sunken slabs that posed trip hazards and drainage problems for local homeowners and passersby.
Instead of tearing everything out and starting from scratch, we used our precision concrete leveling method to lift and align the existing slabs—saving time, money, and disruption. The result? An even, safe, and renewed sidewalk that blends perfectly with the surrounding streetscape.
Whether you're a homeowner or a city official, this is proof that restoring safety and style doesn’t have to mean a full replacement.
