Lifting and Leveling Pool Deck in Port Richey
Challenge
A homeowner located in Port Richey, FL was experiencing unstable and sinking concrete around their pool deck, specifically around a deco drain. Deco drains are designed to collect and divert water where it would usually pool. Since the concrete had sunk around the deco drain, it was not only causing tripping hazards, rain and water from the pool was unable to drain, making the concert wet and slippery. The homeowner wanted to find a solution to raise and stabilize their settling pool deck, so they contacted LRE Foundation Repair.
Solution
One of LRE's design specialists visited the home in Port Richey to conduct an inspection. LRE's design specialist recommended concrete lifting and leveling, achieved by using PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a specially engineered polymer foam that is both lightweight and durable and is able to support and lift sunken concrete back to its original level without any added weight.
LRE's specially trained field technicians conducted an analysis to determine how much lift is needed to level the slab without affecting the existing deco drain. The LRE team drilled pea-sized holes into the affected areas and injected PolyLevel foam underneath the slab. The PolyLevel foam expands under the surface to raise the slab, then hardens to stabilize it. LRE was able to remedy the homeowner's concerns by permanently lifting and stabilizing their pool deck.
