Before & After Photos

Our client had a sloping walkway and sinking stairs, and they wanted it fixed. They decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling to solve the problem. Our Project Manager, Joe McColl, came up with the best solution for our clients that would repair the issues they had been having! He concluded that we would need to install PolyLevel® as well as sealant to fix the walkway and stairs. 

As any property manager knows, being in business is no easy task. Whether you manage an apartment building or a plaza, there’s a lot you have to be responsible for. Two of your biggest concerns are damage to one of your properties and the rare, unfortunate case of someone getting hurt.

For a property manager in Toronto, Ontario, sinking concrete not only led to necessary repairs, but it also caused a slip and fall accident. A plaza in Toronto was a popular stop for customers to visit stores, but a sinking sidewalk had caused numerous concrete pads to shift and crack. 

After a customer tripped and fell, the plaza owner knew something had to be done to prevent this from happening again. He reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling in search of a solution. 

Project Manager CJ Sharp met with the customer and showed him how our products would eliminate the problem while also preventing it from happening again. The customer was thrilled to learn how easy it was to rid himself of this issue, and he booked a date for the repairs. 

Foreman Bill McKeown worked hard injecting our PolyLevel® System into a few different concrete slabs throughout the walkway. PolyLevel® is a high-density polymer that lifts concrete through several dime-sized injection sites. Our system also fills any voids present beneath the surface, protecting the concrete from future settlement.

The customer was so impressed with our solution that he brought us back the following year to repair a few different spots on the sidewalk. He is happy that he no longer needs to worry about his customers falling.

There’s a lot that goes into building a home. It’s a huge undertaking, so when things go wrong, it can be a significant setback. 

In Toronto, Ontario, a custom home builder was working on a home when he noticed something going wrong. The concrete back patio he had poured six months earlier was already starting to sink. The house wasn’t even through the building stage yet, so he knew he needed a long-term fix.

The builder reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. He explained to Paul what happened and that he was surprised the concrete failed so quickly. Paul explained how and why concrete sinks and played a demonstration video of our PolyLevel® System. Bad fill material allowed a gap to form, causing the slab to sink. Our solution not only lifts the concrete but also compresses fill soils below. The customer was delighted to hear about such a unique solution and looked forward to seeing it for himself.

Foreman Kyle McKeown drilled several dime-sized holes in the concrete slab to inject our PolyLevel® System. As the high-density polyurethane is injected, it expands, lifting the slab and stabilizing substrates below. 

The home builder couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched the concrete lift back to an even grade. He’s glad he didn’t need to repour the slab and knows who to call if he ever runs into this issue again.

After a hard day's work, the last thing you want when you come home is a constant reminder of your sinking front porch.

For a Toronto, Ontario customer, this was the frustrating reality. Her front porch had settled over two inches, creating a large step to cross when you walk through the front door. Ready for a change, she reached out to Canadian Concrete Leveling and met with Project Manager Paul Mendell.

Paul inspected the front of her home and determined soil had washed away from below the porch, creating a void. As time went on, the concrete's weight caused the large slab to sink down into the gap, making a trip hazard. Water would also pool in front of the door, creating a slippery pond each winter.

Foreman Kyle McKeown used our expanding polyurethane system, PolyLevel®, to lift the front porch back to a safe grade. PolyLevel® utilizes two unique polymers that mix during installation, creating a reaction that forces the concrete up.

The homeowner is delighted with the entire experience using Canadian Concrete Leveling. She saved a small fortune avoiding a new front porch, and her winter skating rink is finally gone.

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.
