Using Concrete Leveling and Lifting for Pool Deck Repair
PolyLevel® is injected into a cracked, sunken pool deck while measuring with a level.
Eliminate tripping hazards with a fast, durable, cost-effective concrete repair solution
Pool decks are treacherous enough, with curbs, coping stones, diving boards, ladders, slippery wet areas, and, of course, the pool itself. Add tripping hazards to the list, which is a result from sunken sections of concrete pool decking, and pools become even more hazardous. For example, a 2- or 3-in. differential between a sinking deck slab and the coping stones bordering the pool is not uncommon. Tripping hazards around a pool are especially worrisome and can potentially lead to tragedy.
Tripping hazards around the pool are dangerous and also unsightly. Pools are prime outdoor entertaining spaces and attract attention from guests. Is uneven concrete the first thing they should notice? We don't think so.
There are several ways to repair a trip hazard around an in-ground pool. They include:
- Mudjacking
- Sand-jacking
- Demolition
- Replacement
- Grout filling
But the fastest and neatest pool deck repair solution, without shutting it down for more than a few hours, is with pool deck leveling using the PolyLevel® polyurethane injection system. Your local PolyLevel® dealer offers free estimates for pool deck repair - contact them today by clicking below!
Pool deck repair, leveling, & lifting with PolyLevel®
Watch how PolyLevel® easily repairs this pool deck.
When making repairs using the polyurethane injection method, or poly-jacking, as it’s sometimes called, very little of the pool area needs to be disturbed. The process is simple:
- Small holes will be bored through the sunken slab sections.
- A hose is then pulled to the repair site, and specially formulated polyurethane foam is pumped through the holes into the weak or eroded soil under the slab.
- The foam spreads throughout the area, filling gaps, voids, and even the tiniest cracks, turning into a sort of structural pillow.
- Carefully monitored and controlled expansion of the foam raises the sunken slab until it returns to its original, level position.
PolyLevel® can fill voids beneath your concrete pool deck
This pool deck has sunken to create an unsafe, uneven surface.
What do you do if your concrete pool deck hasn’t sunk, but it sounds hollow? PolyLevel® engineers have several formulations in their arsenals, each tailored to the demands of the job. If your soil has settled or eroded from beneath your concrete slab, a non-expanding, void-filling polyurethane and catalyst resin may be used to fill voids and encapsulate loose soil.
By filling these voids beneath the concrete, it increases the load-bearing ability of the soil and strengthens it against washout. This is especially helpful around pools where water often splashes out onto the pool deck, potentially compromising the soil beneath.
