Concrete Services Photo Album: Pool Deck Stabilization in Marco Island, FL
Bill and Sandra R. have lived in their Marco Island, Florida home for many years. Over the years, they have noticed cracks growing worse around their pool deck and stem walls and wanted to fix the problem once and for all. They called LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the home and design the perfect solution. LRE completed a full home inspection, carefully measuring and notating all areas of damage, and determined that washed out soils due to grading and exposure to the elements were the main causes of this home's damage. LRE custom-designed a solution using PolyLevel to fill the large voids and stabilize the pool and stem wall areas of the home. PolyLevel is a two-part expanding foam material that was injected deep into the soils surrounding the pool deck and exterior walls. As the material was injected, it flowed through the loose soils, expanding to fill the voids and improve the soil's stability and load-bearing properties. The process even created enough lift to close large cracks and gaps in the deck. Once complete, the homeowners were more than pleased with the finished project, finally having their pool stabilized for good.
