Photo Album: Pool Deck Cracks Repaired in Oldsmar, FL
Karen B. of Oldsmar, FL was planning on resurfacing the deck around her pool as it was riddled with cracks. Before she did though, she wanted to make sure the cracks wouldn't appear again and called LRE Foundation Repair to check the stability of her home and pool. LRE completed a full-home inspection and determined that short downspouts had increased the amount of water buildup around the home when it rained, allowing for years of erosion and soil movement to take place. An easy fix, LRE designed a solution using PolyLevel, an expanding polyurethane foam material that is injected through the concrete and into the ground below. As PolyLevel is injected, it flows effortlessly through soils, expanding on contact to fill loose areas and lift the concrete back into place. This application was completed around the whole perimeter of the pool in a day, leaving behind nothing but a happy homeowner who was ready for the next step in her pool repair.
Cracked Pool Deck
Large cracks had formed in this concrete pool deck due to unstable and shifting soil conditions underground.
Pool Deck Cracks Repaired
LRE carefully measured the pool deck taking photos of all damaged areas in preparation for the repair.
Expanding Foam Raises Slab
Small holes are drilled throughout the pool deck where the PolyLevel material is injected. PolyLevel expands to fill all gaps and lift concrete slabs back level.
Pool Deck Stabilized
As the material is installed around the perimeter of the pool, LRE carefully monitors the amount of lift in the deck to make sure no further damage occurs. Once all of the material is applied and cured, the deck is stabilized permanently.
