Pool Decks

Why Do Pool Decks Sink?

Pool decks settle when the soil beneath them shifts, erodes, or compacts over time. Water is almost always the culprit—and there’s a lot of it around a pool.

Common causes include:

• Splash-out and drainage washing away soil beneath the deck
• Poorly compacted fill soil during pool construction
• Leaks in pool plumbing eroding the base
• Freeze/thaw cycles shifting the soil

Left untreated, sunken sections get worse. Slabs tilt toward the pool. Trip hazards form. And what started as a small dip becomes a safety issue for everyone using the pool.

The Fix: Pool Deck Lifting

Pool deck lifting raises your existing concrete back to level using expanding polyurethane foam. We drill small holes, inject the foam underneath, and it expands to lift the slab into place.

• Saves 50–70% compared to full replacement
• Done in hours – not days or weeks
• Walk on it the same day
• No heavy equipment around your pool
• Waterproof foam that won’t erode like mudjacking material

Signs Your Pool Deck Needs Lifting

• Uneven or sunken sections around the pool
• Slabs tilting toward the water
• Trip hazards on the deck surface
• Water draining toward the pool instead of away from it
• Cracks forming along settled areas

If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to get an estimate before the problem gets worse.
