A backyard pool should be a place for summer fun and relaxation, but for one homeowner in Manassas, VA, the enjoyment was overshadowed by safety concerns when their concrete pool deck began to sink and settle, creating uneven surfaces and significant tripping hazards. In the "before" state, sections of concrete had settled at different rates, resulting in raised edges and uneven joints that posed a threat to barefoot guests, intensified by the risk of falls and injuries. The homeowner recognized additional problems like water pooling in sunken areas, which not only created slippery spots but also sped up the deterioration of both the concrete and the supporting soil, as well as the erosion caused by water seeping through open joints and cracks. These issues compromised the foundation and threatened to drive down property value—a serious concern for future resale. Wanting more than a cosmetic fix, the homeowner turned to our team for a solution that was effective, durable, and minimally disruptive compared to total replacement. Our assessment led us to recommend the PolyLevel® system, a high-strength, lightweight polyurethane foam that is injected through small holes in the affected slabs. As the foam expands, it fills voids beneath the slabs, gently lifting them back to their proper position, all while being waterproof and quick to cure, allowing for immediate use. This process restored a smooth, level surface to the pool deck and eliminated the dangerous ledges. To protect the repair and prevent further damage, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to all joints and cracks. This silicone-based, flexible sealant withstands harsh weather, UV, and seasonal expansion, creating a watertight barrier that keeps moisture from eroding the soil beneath the slabs. The “after” effect was a safe, visually appealing pool deck, free of tripping hazards, with sealed joints protecting the foundation and restoring the homeowner’s peace of mind. By choosing these advanced concrete solutions, the homeowner avoided the expense and upheaval of deck replacement and regained a beautiful, secure backyard oasis that will last for years to come.
