Sinking Pool Deck
A pool deck has many unsafe parts, from diving boards, slippery wet areas, ladders, and not to mention the pool itself. On top of that, there are tripping hazards that derive from sunken pool decks, making pools even more dangerous. Typically, a sinking pool deck in Florida, Georgia, and Texas have more than a 3-inch difference between the pool deck slab and the bordering of the pool, which can easily become an eyesore but more importantly a death trap.
Poly Lift USA can fix your sinking pool deck in Florida, Georgia, and Texas with our established polyurethane foam injection system. Slabjacking, or mud jacking as it is commonly called, is a cost-effective alternative to replacing sunken concrete. We do this in four easy steps. First, Small 5/8-inch holes are bored through the sunken slab. Second, an injector port is installed in each hole. Third, high-density foam is injected into the port, whereupon it expands and lifts the slab. Lastly, with the port removed, the holes are cleaned and patched with cement.
If your concrete pool deck doesn’t have any visible sinking but sounds hollow, this might be a result of settled or eroded soil from beneath your concrete slab. Weak soils are very abundant in the state of Florida and Georgia. Some of these lands have not been disturbed for millions of years. Once development begins on loose soils, structural failure is almost unavoidable. For this issue Poly Lift USA uses what is commonly known as soil stabilization.
Why Poly Lift USA & The Benefits of FoamJection
Concrete pool decks rest on subgrade, which is a fancy term for the earth below. When the subgrade begins to weaken and settle, the Concrete loses its support. This can be caused by a variety of factors…weather, rain, leaks, excess weight to name a few. While the root causes may vary, the end result is always the same. Structural damage.
Over time, often in months, pool deck begin to stress, then crack and, eventually, break apart and sink. This leads to trip hazards, unsightly appearance and a reduction in property values. This damage is structural – not cosmetic. Neither patching nor a new surface will solve the problem.
At Poly Lift USA we offer customers an environmentally safe, affordable, long-term resolution.
Our Foamjection technology has enabled thousands of property owners in Florida, Georgia and Texas to repair their damaged pool deck and save thousands in replacement costs. Our typical repair is well under 50% less than cost of replacement.
Here’s how Foamjection technology works:
- Penny size holes are drilled through the damaged slab at 5-foot intervals.
- Specially formulated polyurethane foam is pumped through the slab reaching the subgrade underneath.
- The liquid foam fills voids and expands rapidly to compact the earth beneath the slab.
- As the foam hardens it locks the slab in place. We call this stabilization.
- When lift is required, additional foam is pumped using carefully calibrated pressure gauges until the slab is raised to the desired height.
- Drill holes are filled with sanded concrete.
All Poly Lift USA repairs come with a 10-year, transferable warranty.
