Why Concrete Pool Decks Sink

Surprisingly, many concrete pool decks sink and settle because of the pool construction process. What causes the slabs to sink is the backfill soil added around the pool after excavation. This soil is usually less dense and compact than undisturbed soil. When a concrete slab is poured around the pool, this loose soil will compress under the slab's weight, causing the concrete to sink, settle, and crack.

How We Raise And Restore Concrete Pool Decks

SmartLevel has a minimally invasive solution for concrete pool decks that can lift and level them back into place: PolyLevel®. A polyurethane foam, PolyLevel®, is injected beneath a settled deck, raising it back into place while simultaneously compacting the soil underneath so the problem won't reoccur. Exclusive to SmartLevel, PolyLevel® saves you time and money without disrupting your landscaping.

Our process for repairing sunken concrete with PolyLevel®:

  • We start by boring penny-sized holes into each affected concrete slab
  • Then we inject the holes with polyurethane foam, which expands and raises the slab
  • Foam is injected until the pool deck is level
  • The holes and any additional cracks are then sealed for a seamless finish
