Elderly Parents Unable to Visit Due to Sinking Front Steps in Newmarket, Ontario

As our parents grow older, we cherish the time spent with them more and more. Whether it’s going out for dinner to celebrate a birthday, or only getting together for a coffee, it’s always nice to share a moment.

Unfortunately for customers in Newmarket, Ontario, hazardous front steps made it hard for their elderly parents to visit. The concrete slab had settled over the years, causing the step to be higher than the building code. Worried for the safety of their family, the customers set up a free inspection.

Project Manager Paul Mendell met with the customers and introduced them to our unique repair processes. Our Production Department set up a date, and Foreman Kyle McKeown completed the repairs. Kyle injected PolyLevel® High-Density Polymer to lift and stabilize the front steps, eliminating the tripping hazard and bringing the steps back to code.

The customers are thrilled they no longer need to worry about their elderly parents tripping. They have peace of mind and can’t wait until the next family dinner.

Sloping Walkway Poses Water Seepage Risk in Newmarket, Ontario

Keeping your home in great shape is a priority for most homeowners. Not only does it prevent repairs, but it gives us a sense of pride. Many different elements can threaten our homes, however, and sometimes repairs need to be made, regardless of how well the home is kept up.

Customers in Newmarket, Ontario, were concerned about water seeping into their basement. They have a concrete slab walkway along the side of their home, but settlement had caused the slabs to slope towards the home’s foundation. Looking to prevent any problems rather than fix them, the customers met with Project Manager Paul Mendell. Paul discussed how we could eliminate the issue, and the customers happily agreed. 

Foreman Kyle McKeown used our PolyLevel® Process to lift along the entire side of the slabs, removing the slope towards the foundation. After the lift was complete, NexusPro® was applied to seal any cracks and prevent moisture from gaining access beneath the concrete.

The customer is delighted that their home is protected once again, and they love how the NexusPro® Sealant turned out.

One Day of Work Fixes Six Years of Sinking Concrete in Ajax, ON

Many people have been using their pools more than ever this year. We can’t travel around due to COVID-19, so people have been bringing their backyards back to life.

A customer in Ajax, Ontario, has had sinking concrete in his backyard for close to six years. He had been using the pool more than ever this summer, so the concrete was becoming more of an issue and he was concerned what would happen in the future. After meeting with Project Manager Kyle O’Brien and seeing our solution, the customer was eager to set up a date for the repair. 

 

Our installation crew started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes throughout the concrete slabs. He used these holes as injection ports for our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane, which expands below the surface. This lifts the concrete and compresses any fill soils, helping to prevent the issue from returning. 

The customer is happy that his pool deck is level and safe. 

Sinking Walkway Threatens Customers at Plaza in Ajax, Ontario

A plaza manager has many behind-the-scenes tasks along with managing tenant and customer needs. They ensure everything is safe and in proper working order.

A building manager in Ajax, Ontario, received a few complaints from tenants about sinking concrete in front of the parking lot. The area became a tripping hazard and a troublesome spot for pooling water.

Project Manager Joe McColl inspected the concrete at the strip mall. Joe explained to the customer that voids under the slab make the concrete sink. The customer did not want to deal with the expensive hassle of new concrete and closing the stores for a few days.

To his delight, the manager learned he could leave the stores open during the installation and use the concrete later the same day. Joe explained how our PolyLevel® System repairs the concrete using high-density polyurethane injections. This solution is non-invasive – a 300-foot hose pumps polyurethane to voids under the concrete.

Foreman Bill McKeown started the repair by drilling dime-sized holes in the concrete surface. As he injects the polyurethane beneath the slabs, the concrete lifts back to grade level while compressing fill soils below. All spaces and cavities are filled fixing the concrete issues permanently.

The building manager truly appreciates how efficient the installation was executed. He didn’t need to close down the building, and his tenants are happy their customers can use a safe walkway.

Sinking Driveway Creates Annoying Bump in Gormley, Ontario

Concrete is an excellent medium for builders to use, but wear and tear can break it down like all things.

A customer in Gormley, Ontario, noticed his garage floor had cracked and was starting to sink. The problem was getting worse as time went on, so he decided to reach out to Canadian Concrete Leveling for a solution.

Project Manager Joe McColl met with the customer and completed a thorough inspection of the garage floor. Joe explained how a phenomenon called “street creep” can send pressure from the road up to a private driveway and garage. Joe showed the homeowner a demonstration of our PolyLevel® System, and a date was booked for the repair.

Foreman Bill McKeown started drilling As it’s injected, dime-sized holes in the concrete to inject our high-density polyurethane through the driveway. The polyurethane expands, compresses loose soil below and lifts the concrete. PolyLevel® cures in a matter of minutes and weighs 10% less than other lifting methods.

With his driveway repaired, the customer is extremely grateful for the work provided by Canadian Concrete Leveling. He was excited to use his garage later that same day and is happy to report there’s no more annoying bump to drive over.
