Bringing the Level Back - Concrete Repair for a Kleinburg Poolside Retreat
Challenge
In the prestigious neighborhoods of Kleinburg, every detail of a home’s exterior combines beauty with function. Even the most carefully designed outdoor spaces, however, are vulnerable to shifting soil and natural settling. At this property, the homeowners noticed their elegant poolside retreat beginning to deteriorate as the heavy stone steps and concrete walkways slowly sank.
The main problem was soil settlement beneath the concrete, a common issue where the base material compresses or washes away over time. This caused uneven sinking of the large slabs and poolside steps, creating an unsightly drop-off and disrupting the backyard’s architectural symmetry. More importantly, it presented a serious safety hazard. Sunken steps near a pool, where guests are often barefoot or distracted, increase the risk of trips and falls. The homeowners wanted a solution that avoided the disruption and high cost of full concrete replacement, which would involve heavy machinery and damage to landscaping.
Solution
Canadian Concrete Leveling provided a safe, fast, and minimally invasive concrete repair solution using advanced high-density polymer injection technology. Our team drilled small, discreet holes into the affected slabs and injected a specialized polymer to fill voids and stabilize the soil underneath. As the material expanded, it lifted the sunken steps and walkways back to their original level, restoring the poolside area’s safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
This approach eliminated hazardous drop-offs, preserved the surrounding landscaping, and avoided the expense and disruption of ripping out and replacing the concrete. The repair was completed quickly, with the concrete ready for use shortly after installation. The homeowners now enjoy a fully restored, safe, and visually stunning poolside retreat that enhances their Kleinburg property and protects family and guests from potential accidents.
