What Causes Pool Deck Settlement?

Along with sidewalk settlement, sinking pool decks are the most common issue we fix. Pool deck slabs settle because the soil underneath isn’t dense enough to support it. When land is excavated so a new pool can be placed, the soil around the pool is very loose; if the concrete contractor doesn’t take extra care to compact the soil around the new pool before pouring the concrete, settlement is likely to occur. Luckily for homeowners already experiencing this issue, it’s a relatively easy fix! As long as the concrete has not cracked excessively, JACKCRETE is able to lift each settled pool slab back up to level quickly and affordably.

Sunken Pool Deck Lifting With JACKCRETE

By injecting our light-weight material strategically around your sunken pool deck, we can lift and level each pool deck slab in under two hours. Once we finish patching the holes we drilled, the project is 100% complete and the pool can be re-opened for use. Since our material expands to fully reinforce the compromised soil underneath the pool decking, the risk of future settlement is minimized, leaving you with a pristine, safe pool. While pool deck settlement can happen anywhere, our team has noticed Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Outer Banks homeowners are most likely to have this problem. If you notice your pool deck sinking, don’t wait- the sooner you catch it, the easier and more affordable it is to fix!

Foam Lifting for Pool Decks

During the spring and summer, our crews work on three to four pool decks a day. Between years of experience and daily practice, we are extremely comfortable working around pools. Our crews typically set up, complete the work, clean up, and leave your property within two to four hours! Once we’re finished with our work, your pool can be reopened immediately.

Other Pool Deck Issues

Recently, we have had great success working with pool companies injecting spray foam under fiberglass pool steps. Our portion of these projects typically only take an hour to complete!

Sometimes the issue isn’t with the pool decking, but with the coping that the deck is connected to. When this is the case, you will notice a separation between the pool deck and the coping. Since our material is used to lift settled concrete decks, there isn’t much we can do to minimize the gap between the slab and the coping.
