Lake Hiawatha Pool Deck Sinking and Settling
This pool deck area had multiple cracks due to settling slabs. Several trip hazards formed making the pool area unsafe. The homeowner wanted to repair one side of the pool area without affecting the other side. Concrete Repair Specialist, Jeff Pitek, did a full inspection and recommended our Concrete Raising Solution, PolyLevel. This polyurethane foam is lightweight and environmentally friendly.
Small holes are drilled into the concrete and using special equipment, PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab. The PolyLevel foam expands to fill any voids and lifts the slab back towards its original position. Once leveled, the foam hardens to permanently stabilize the concrete slab.
