Before & After Photos

A front walkway and staircase experienced settlement in Southampton, Ontario. There was concern that the home would undergo water damage in the foundation, and when people visited, they would hurt themselves from the elevated staircase. A solution is needed before the settlement continues. After research, Canadian Concrete Leveling was the property owner's top contender to complete the work. After a phone call appointment, we were able to schedule a day for our most experienced Project Manager, Paul Mendell, to come visit the home and quote our new clients. 

After the quote was complete, we planned a day for our Installation Expert, Bill McKeown, to come to the home and start the work. He will inject the settled concrete with our high-grade polyurethane and then seal up the joints with our durable, anti-cracking, and water-resistant sealant along the side of the home to protect the foundation. The work took unde3r an hour to complete, and the homeowners were ecstatic with the results. All worries were lifted, and this concrete walkway will not see settlement ever again.

Maple, Ontario’s beautiful home, had not one but two sinking sets of stairs. However, these stairs both had something in common: the rest of the stairs, except the top, had started sinking, leaving the final lunge to the top challenging. Not only did the homeowners find the staircases unappealing, but they also noticed that many people were tripping on them during all hours of the day. 

The steps had a gap where the original sealant was, but since the steps elongated, the separation happened, revealing the foundation and concrete integrity. If the problem is not fixed and the elements get inside, further damage to the home’s foundation and the staircases will occur. The homeowners needed a solution that could quickly lift the concrete, save them money, and keep the concrete looking the same way it does now. They’ve come across Canadian Concrete Leveling and realized that we check every box they are looking for. As other methods can be expensive, our polyurethane injections are non-invasive, cost-effective, and quick curing to the point that it’s too good to be true. 

They called our call centre to set up an appointment where Joe McColl, our experienced Project Manager, came up with a detailed schematic on how the work will be completed, who would be coming to the home and how long roughly it will take. Later during the week, Kyle McKeown, our Installation Supervisor, came to the house to start the injection process. The job only needed less than ten injections, which happened to be the size of a dime, to complete the work. Once the holes were properly filled with the polyurethane, the concrete lifted immediately. The area was then swept, and the holes were patched with concrete to blend in with the existing concrete.

This customer in Vaughan, Ontario, had the unlucky experience of Frost Heave ruining their front walkway. Unfortunately, frost heave is a common occurrence plaguing concrete all over the country. Rainwater and natural moisture sit in pockets underneath the concrete. Then in winter, these moisture pockets freeze and shift, over time affecting the earth around it and thus moving the concrete. The only way to prevent this is to backfill the concrete with a more robust material than soil, for example, gravel, that allows water to flow down and not sit.

The customer desperately wanted their beautiful stone footpath returned to its former glory, so thankfully, they got in touch with Project Manager Matt McCullough at Canadian Concrete Leveling for relief. After identifying the customer’s unique needs, developing a plan, and scheduling a date, our Installation Specialists got to work. Step one involves the application of our unique PolyLevel® system. It is not only exclusively designed to raise concrete in a quick, clean, and efficient way; it also secures the concrete in place to prevent any further frost heave damage. Then NexusPro® sealant, another one of our patented products, is applied to the seams and joints in the final stage of the installation process. NexusPro® has multiple different options to appeal to any customer's preference and style. In addition, our strong, proprietary sealant is designed to keep moisture from seeping down the seams and into the earth, thus further protecting the concrete from potential future heaving and shifting due to frost heave.

There is one thing homeowners and potential homeowners hear all the time from builders, contractors, and realtors, and that word is curb appeal. Curb appeal is essential not only to impress guests and neighbors but also to increase the value of your home. Also, curb appeal is effectively the first impression anyone experiences with a home, and a negative impact can be costly.

Curb appeal, simply put, is the exterior front face of your house and property. It is the first thing anyone sees when walking or driving by. It can make or break the resale of your home, and it can have a profound negative effect on the perceived value of your estate. Real estate professionals worldwide stress the importance to anyone owning their home to maintain a positive curb appeal. Not only will it increase the value of your home but also your neighbors living around you. Curb appeal is a crucial concept for every homeowner to grasp for economic reasons, but aesthetically pleasing designs also reduce stress and can increase positive overall wellbeing.

A customer in Vaughan, Ontario, had the unfortunate experience of having their front walkway crack and shift from its original position. Not only was the curb appeal of their house on the line, but the walkway was also so severely off level it became a hazard. With unpredictable and slippery weather being a cruel reality in Canada, any small tripping hazard has the potential to become highly unsafe to any poor, unsuspecting soul.

Committed to keeping homes beautiful but, more importantly, keeping people safe, Canadian Concrete Leveling was contacted to get the job done giving the customer peace of mind. As a result, Canadian Concrete Leveling implemented two unique patented technologies to ensure positive curb appeal for years to come.

PolyLevel® was applied first to bring the large concrete slabs back to level. Then the installation team used NexusPro® to seal the concrete slabs back together. This color-matched seal prevents moisture from accumulating down into the cracks. The customer was satisfied having one less thing to have to worry about.

Concrete patio slabs are very susceptible to shifting or sinking over time. A home in Maple, ON had this problem with their front patio. Sinking concrete was creating trip hazards. The customer was worried the slabs would create larger gaps as individual slabs continued to separate between the patio and the walkway.

The homeowner made a call to Canadian Concrete Leveling. An appointment was set up with a Project Manager to talk about ways to fix the patio. The homeowner discovered that we could lift, level and stabilize the patio using our patented PolyLevel® Injection System.

Our installation team used PolyLevel to lift the slabs to make them level again – no more trip hazards. They also used NexusPro® after the concrete was lifted to seal the gaps between the slabs. It is specially engineered to stand up to harsh weather conditions – it won’t crack, bubble or dry. The homeowner was excited that it was safe to share the patio once again with family and friends.
