Photo Album: Pool Deck Stabilization in Ormond Beach, FL
Large cracks on the pool deck of Robert B.'s home in Ormond Beach, Florida were growing in number and size. Worried about the stability of his pool, this homeowner called LRE Foundation Repair to assess the damage and come up with a solution. LRE completed a thorough inspection of the property and noticed several animal borings, coupled with washed-out soils which had created large voids causing the pool deck to sink. Needing to stabilize the soils below the deck, LRE utilized its PolyLevel technology. PolyLevel, a polymer-expanding foam, was injected into various holes in the concrete deck and pumped around the exterior foundation of the home. This material's application has the ability to flow easily through loose soils, filling voids and solidifying the area, all while expanding large enough to lift areas of the pool deck back into place. This process is quick and easy, with less than an hour of cure time, leaving this homeowner relieved his pool was permanently stabilized for years to come.
Large Cracks in Pool Deck
This pool deck suffered from several large cracks in the deck, causing trip hazards.
Voids Under Pool Deck
Large voids and washed out soils were mainly to blame for the compromised deck.
Cracks in Concrete Deck
If left untreated, these cracks could worsen and start affecting the integrity of the pool itself.
Holes Drilled into Pool Deck
LRE carefully drills holes spaced apart on the pool deck and places markers where all materials will be pumped below the surface.
PolyLevel Injection in Deck
PolyLevel is injected through small holes in the concrete deck, expanding in a chemical reaction once it reaches soils below.
PolyLevel Fills Voids
PolyLevel expands enough to fill the largest of voids - even expanding big enough to lift concrete slabs.
Pool Deck is Releveled
Once this job was complete, not only were the pool and deck stabilized, but the cracks were closed, and the surface was releveled.
