Cracked and Sinking Concrete Porch, Toronto ON
Winter was coming in full force and our client in Toronto, Ontario wanted to fix their front porch to prevent tripping hazards. The porch was sinking about 1.5 inches to the one side of the house. This resulted in our new client calling Canadian Concrete Levelling to sort the issue quickly yet permanently. Our team had installed Polylevel® injections on the lowered points and raised the concrete to the leveled height. With only 60 minutes to cure, and beat the snow, the job was done within 1.5 hours. The porch was back to its original state and ready for guests on Christmas!
Sinking Concrete Makes Mail Runs Dangerous in Toronto, Ontario
Having a beautiful property is a sense of pride for many people. We make sure our home is looking its best no matter what. When the yard or the house needs attention, it becomes a top priority on the ever-popular to-do list.
An older couple in Toronto, Ontario, decided to call Canadian Concrete Leveling to look at their sinking front porch. The section directly below their mailbox had settled, and each winter, water would pool and freeze. It made it difficult to get the mail safely, and they didn’t like how the front of the house looked as a result.
Project Manager Kyle O'Brien met with the couple and inspected their front porch. They were happy to hear how easily our solution can be installed, and they excitedly booked a date for the repair.
Foreman Bill McKeown injected our PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane beneath the concrete slab to lift the concrete. This application also compresses fill soils below to prevent this issue from returning. Once Kyle was done, he patched the injection holes with fresh concrete.
The couple is delighted with the repair. They were impressed with how easy the installation was and our team's professionalism. Unfortunately, they've dealt with dishonest contractors before but were very happy to find an honest company to deal with finally.

Worried Grandkids Reach Out for Sinking Pool Deck in Markham, Ontario
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!
Sinking Driveway Creates Tripping Hazard in Thornhill, Ontario
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.
With his tripping hazards gone, the customer is looking forward to using his driveway again. He’s impressed with how efficient our installation process was and appreciated the service he’s received.
