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

SmartLevel concrete did a very good job on our leveling project. Technicians Chris and DeAndre arrived at their scheduled time and gave a brief overview of work to be done. They leveled steps and portions of our driveway and sidewalk. There was even some structural issues they pointed out once the process was completed. I have since recommended them to others for similar projects.

Chris and Brian called to let us know they were on their way. They power washed our garage, entry steps, and all sidewalks. They leveled all surfaces as much as possible around our 30 year old house. They filled all existing cracks with a substance that matches the rest of the concrete so they’re less noticeable. On hands and knees, Chris filled every seam between sidewalk and driveway slabs. I’m amazed that the seams are so even. The also sealed all surfaces with a spray which works to prevent water from being absorbed by the concrete. The results of all their hard work are amazing.
