Pool Deck Leveling in Twinsburg
Sunken pool deck slabs create standing water that makes your deck slippery, unsightly, and potentially dangerous. We lift and level settled pool deck concrete using waterproof polyurethane foam that will not wash out or degrade — even in constant moisture conditions around your pool.
1 Why Pool Decks Settle
Pool deck slabs sit on soil that is constantly exposed to water — from the pool itself, from rain runoff, and from backwash discharge. That water erodes the soil beneath the concrete, creating voids that cause settling. Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles make it worse, expanding and contracting the saturated soil season after season.
Poor compaction during original pool installation is another common cause. The backfill around the pool shell is often loose and settles over the first few years, taking the deck concrete with it.
2 Polyurethane Foam vs. Mudjacking for Pool Decks
Polyurethane foam is the clear winner for pool deck work. Mudjacking uses a cement-based slurry that weighs 100+ pounds per cubic foot and absorbs water. In the constantly wet environment around a pool, that heavy, water-absorbing material can break down and cause re-settling within a few years.
Polyurethane foam weighs 2-4 pounds per cubic foot, is completely waterproof, and does not absorb moisture. It will not degrade in the wet conditions around your pool. The closed-cell structure means it stays stable indefinitely.
3 Drainage Correction During Lifting
When we lift pool deck slabs, we do not just bring them back to their original height — we make sure the drainage slope is correct. Pool decks should slope slightly away from the pool to prevent water from running back toward the coping and into the pool.
If the original installation had drainage issues, lifting gives us the opportunity to correct the slope. We verify drainage direction after every pool deck lift.
