Worried Grandkids Reach Out for Sinking Pool Deck in Markham, Ontario

Before	After

Many kids spend time in the summer with their grandparents. Of course, this can be to the delight of grandma and grandpa and sometimes to the grandkids, but the entire group gets to make cherished memories.

In Markham, Ontario, a couple was looking forward to having their grandchildren spend a few weeks with them in the summer, but there was one problem; the concrete around their pool was sinking, creating numerous trip hazards. They wanted the kids to wander and enjoy the space, but they were uneasy about the raised edges.

They reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Kyle O’Brien. Kyle inspected the pool deck and explained that draining water could cause loose-fill soils to wash away, leading to sinking concrete. He walked them through our PolyLevel® System, which uses expanding polyurethane to list sinking slabs. He also told them about our NexusPro® Sealant, a UV-resistant sealant used for seams and cracks. The couple was excited to hear about our non-invasive solutions and eagerly agreed to both options.

Foreman Kyle McKeown started the morning repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the slabs as injection ports through the slabs. Next, he pumped the two-part PolyLevel®, and as it mixed, it expanded to lift the concrete above. Once the pool deck was back to a safe level, he sealed the seams between the slabs with NexusPro®, providing a flexible yet watertight seal.

The grandparents were amazed by the work we were able to do and even more blown away by the fact it was done in only a day. They can’t wait to have some peace of mind while they entertain their grandkids in the summer!

A driveway is an integral part of your home and is used almost every day, so it’s not something you want to be tripping over.

A Thornhill, Ontario, customer gave us a call after noticing his driveway was sinking where it met the garage floor. He was concerned someone would trip and fall at some point, so after meeting with Project Manager Joe McColl he decided to bring us in to complete the repair.

Foreman Bill McKeown used our PolyLevel® solution to lift the concrete driveway back up to grade with the garage floor. He used dime-sized holes to inject our high-density polyurethane in various spots to slowly lift the slabs until they reached the proper grade.

Lifted Slab Caused Indoor Water Damage, Thornhill, ON

Before	After

A home in Thornhill, Ontario, had a problem in the basement along the front wall. There was a small amount of water coming into the home. This happened after a heavy rain because the concrete slabs at the entrance way had settled toward the home. Water flowed toward the home and made its way into the basement. The slabs were also a trip hazard. The house was being used for a business and was going to be sold. They wanted to fix the issues before selling it.  

The homeowner called Canadian Concrete Leveling to fix the issues. Ron Monk inspected the area and explained how the job would be done. Billy McKeown and his team came in and used PolyLevel foam injections to divert water away from the foundation and eliminate trip hazards. They used NexusPro to seal any joints where water could penetrate. The customer was satisfied because the house was ready to sell without issue.
