Concrete Services Photo Album: Concrete Pool Deck Repair in Lithia, FL
Bob S. observed that sections of his pool deck had been sinking overtime at his Lithia, FL, home. He grew more concerned when he realized that the slope created by the sinking concrete was preventing water from flowing into the channel drain that ran down along the deck. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to get the pool deck permanently restored to its proper level. An LRE Design Specialist examined the concrete thoroughly and confirmed that settlement had occurred, particularly around the pool deck's channel drain and back door. To remedy these issues, the Design Specialist devised a solution using PolyLevel to restore and level the concrete. When PolyLevel makes contact with the soil underneath, it expands to fill voids and raise any uneven concrete. The LRE production crew got to work injecting the PolyLevel solution beneath the sinking pool deck, and restoring proper water flow to the channel drain. Bob was relieved when the job was finished, as the pool deck had not only been repaired but also permanently stabilized.
Pool Deck Settlement
The concrete surrounding the pool deck's channel drain and back door has sunk, causing water drainage to be disturbed.
Concrete Settlement Damage
Along with the development of an uneven surface, concrete settlement can result in cracking, which can lead to more extensive drainage.
Drainage Flow Disruption
Water cannot properly flow down the channel drain due to the uneven concrete, resulting in additional water pooling issues.
PolyLevel Injection
The LRE team injects the PolyLevel solution directly through the concrete, where it expands upon contact with the soil beneath and lifts the sinking sections.
Leveled Concrete
Now that the concrete has been leveled, proper water flow into the channel drain may occur, preventing water from accumulating on the deck.
