Cracked Pool Deck

A swimming pool offers relaxation and fun, but any cracks in the surrounding concrete can become hazardous. Cracked pool decks are not just visually displeasing but also introduce serious threats.  

Fortunately, Foundation Recovery Systems combines technology and more than three decades of experience to address concrete sinking issues for good. 

Learn the causes of cracked pool decks and see how  Foundation Recovery Systems uses SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ to lift and level the concrete pool deck at your home. 

What Is a Cracked Pool Deck? 

Cracks around an in-ground pool signal potential danger and diminished aesthetic appeal. They can range from shallow hairline cracks to more severe structural issues, potentially leading to tripping hazards, especially dangerous near water. 

Unchecked, these cracks can invite unwanted water infiltration, accelerating the deterioration of concrete, and leading to mold growth. 

Besides cracks, you might notice: 

• Concrete discoloration or flaking 
• Cracked driveways 
• Uneven sidewalks 
• Concrete patio problems 
• Sunken porches 
• Uneven concrete steps 

If you notice any of these symptoms the problems won’t get better with time, only worse. Foundation Recovery Systems is equipped and ready to restore your pool deck to its former glory, eliminating dangerous tripping hazards.  

What Causes a Cracked Pool Deck? 

Your pool deck can crack due to various factors, such as: 

• Soil Instability: Improperly compacted or shifting soil beneath can lead to cracking. 
• Chemical Runoff: Pool chemicals can weaken the soil structure underneath, causing the deck to sag and break. 
• Tree Root Invasion: Aggressive tree roots can disrupt the ground, leading to uneven surfaces. 
• Excessive Moisture: Prolonged water exposure can erode supporting soil. 
• Seasonal Changes: Our harsh winter freezes followed by thaws place stress on the concrete. 
• Installation Mistakes: Flaws during concrete laying can result in weak structures. 

Recognizing and addressing these early can prevent extensive damage to the deck and potential threats to the home’s foundation. 

Can You Fix a Cracked Pool Deck? 

Yes! But it’s important to remember that patching cracks or applying superficial repairs is not enough. Traditional methods, like mudjacking, are disruptive and fail to address root causes.

• Foam Preparation: Our unique PolyRenewal™ foam components are combined. 

• Application: The foam is introduced below the concrete, using the previously placed ports. 
• Expansion: Rapidly expanding, the foam fills voids, solidifying and lifting the concrete.
