Photo Album: Stabilized Pool Deck in Dunedin, FL

James W. and his wife started noticing their pool deck cracking after they had a fountain installed at their Dunedin, Florida home. Soon after, the pool tiles started popping off and parts of the deck began to sink. They knew it was time to call LRE to come out and take a look. LRE completed a thorough inspection of the home and pool area and was able to determine that animal borings, mixed with unstable and loose soils, caused voids and damage to the pool deck. They devised a solution and installed helical piers to the sections of the deck that needed support. Helical piers are galvanized steel piers that are driven into the loose soils, compacting the soil along the way. These piers are attached to the pool's footer with brackets and are able to lift the deck back to its original state while adding stability to the structure. Once this project was complete, the homeowners were happy with the job and able to enjoy their pool again without worry.
