Drainage Solutions Photo Album: Mitigating Pool Deck Flooring in Dade City, FL

Kathy F. was facing a recurring problem of pool deck flooding at her residence in Dade City, FL. The channel drain installed earlier had deteriorated, and water accumulation had become a constant issue. She contacted LRE Foundation Repair for help. An expert Design Specialist visited Kathy's home and thoroughly inspected her pool deck. The inspection revealed that soil settlement had caused the sinking of concrete slabs, leading to the misalignment and failure of the channel drain. The specialist provided Kathy with a custom plan to address the issues with her pool deck. The plan involved using PolyLevel to re-level the concrete slabs and installing a new channel drain and water pipe system to redirect excess water. LRE's team implemented these solutions, restored the concrete to its proper level, and optimized water drainage. Kathy was thrilled that her pool deck's concrete had been saved, and the persistent flooding issue had been resolved effectively.

Damaged Channel Drain

The pool deck's sinking concrete slabs have caused the channel drain to become damaged and misaligned, preventing proper water drainage.

Sunken Concrete

Soil settlement has caused the concrete slabs to sink around the channel drain, leading to the accumulation of excess rainwater that cannot drain effectively.

PolyLevel Injections

PolyLevel is injected into the concrete to lift the sunken regions up to an even level before installation of the new channel drain can begin.

Channel Drain Excavation

Now that the concrete slabs have been restored to their proper level, excavation of the channel drain trench can begin.

Complete Channel Drain Installation

The new channel drain has been successfully installed.

Pop-up Relief Drain Installation

A water pipe system, leading to a pop-up relief drain, is buried in the ground outside the pool deck to ensure a suitable path for rainwater to follow.
