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.
Uneven concrete is much more than an eyesore. It can also be a safety hazard.
This homeowner in Gormley, ON, called Canadian Concrete Leveling when they noticed two slabs on their driveway were sinking. They were directed to Project Manager, Paul Mendell He explained to Paul that their main concern was a potential tripping hazard, and they didn’t want to be liable for an injury that could have been avoided. Another fear they had was for the snow plow that came to clear their driveway off in the winter. Hitting the uneven slabs could easily damage the equipment and make for an expensive repair.
Bill McKeown’s trusted installation team happily used Canadian Concrete Leveling’s PolyLevel® polyurethane foam injection system to lift the settled slab back to its original height. Our PolyLevel® is a superior choice because it’s waterproof, cures quickly, is non-invasive and is very adjustable.
In only a couple of hours, the homeowner’s peace of mind was restored. They didn’t have to worry about someone getting injured or pay a hefty bill to fix a damaged plow in the winter. They also could not get over how quickly Bill McKeown and his team completed the job along with leaving the site so clean!

Renovations were slowly underway before this homeowner sells their house in Stouffville, ON. When prepping to put this one-of-a-kind home on the market, the homeowner knew some upkeep needed to be done around the house. The cedar walling had bleached away and needed re-staining, the deck outside needed to be gutted, and the concrete pads around the pool had started to sink every which way. The contractor she hired contacted Canadian Concrete Leveling for an appointment and also to support a local business. Our Project Manager, Kyle O'Brien, met with the homeowner to see how we could level all the pads without interrupting the contractor. This would be no problem with our PolyLevel® System, our minimal invasion solution. Connecting with the contractor, he mentioned that he would need new caulking around the pool. This was a great segue for Kyle to mention that our NexusPro® sealant would be the best option.
Our Installation Foreman, Kyle McKeown, and Installation Specialist, Nestor Cabrera, arrived. The scope of work was a small pad to the side of the home and underneath the outdoor kitchen. The contractor took it upon himself to remove the shelving for our team to access the spot better. The job was straightforward, from unloading, installation, and cleanup. Before the installation, the contractor informed us that he had drawn a marker on the wall to indicate where the countertop sat before, and he was amazed to find out that we lifted the concrete more than 2 inches higher. The homeowner walked around the property at and was blown away by the seamless results.
A concrete driveway and connected walkway had been sinking over time at a home in Duntroon, ON. The concrete was uneven and was getting worse to the point where it could be a serious tripping hazard. Since the concrete had started to slope, water was also beginning to pool against the house possibly leaking through the foundation.
The customer called Canadian Concrete Leveling to fix the problem. Our expert installation team used our patented PolyLevel Injection System to fill the voids under the concrete to lift and stabilize the driveway and the walkway. No more trip hazards.
The customer was happy the driveway and walkway were fixed in a relatively short time and they wouldn’t need to worry about tripping when going in and out of the house. Pooling water issues were also eliminated.
A successful, entrepreneurial educator and owner of a learning centre for children with special needs and Autism was working on a new project in Goodwood, ON. She was building hydroponic greenhouses to give her students a chance to learn more about growing plants and also experience a little bit about being self-sufficient. Unfortunately, this principal noticed the concrete slabs that were supposed to hold the greenhouses were no longer level but were slanting in some areas as much as 9 inches!
After doing some research, the principal gave us a call at Canadian Concrete Leveling. Our Project Lead, Paul Mendell, met the principal at her site, checked the slabs and then recommended our PolyLevel® Injection System to lift, level and stabilize the concrete. Once our installation team arrived, Billy McKeown and Kyle McKeown injected polyurethane through dime-sized holes in the concrete to lift the slabs back to their original pour and back to being level again.
The principal was ecstatic that we were able to fix the concrete slabs in such a short amount of time. Her project was back on track, she had peace of mind finally, and we were more than happy to provide a permanent solution.
