Nobody wants to have to watch their step while walking around their pool deck. Concrete settling is the type of problem that can make you have to constantly look down instead of enjoying your Indianapolis home. If the settling in your pool deck is severe, then a lot of accidents can happen, especially with the pool being so nearby. Unfortunately, pool settling is often unavoidable. Uneven concrete slabs in pool decks are the result of the clay bowl effect, which is caused by the way modern pools are currently constructed. When a pool is being constructed, a hole is excavated. When the material the pool is made of is put into place, the gap between the hole and the pool is backfilled with soil. While the soil that is under the pool is compacted and dense, the same cannot be said for the soil that is used as backfill. The soil that now surrounds the pool is loose and porous. So, the concrete slabs that surround the pool have to rely on the unstable soils that can easily shrink and expand when exposed to water which, given their location, will happen a lot. Soil displacement is impossible to avoid, but that doesn’t mean you should say goodbye to your pool deck concrete. The settled slab can be lifted back into place using SettleStop PolyRenewal. Multiple holes are drilled into the slab, and polyurethane foam is injected until there is enough to lift the slab. The foam is dense enough to hold up the slab, and, unlike the clay soil around the pool, it does not erode; so, your slab now is properly secured. After using SettleStop PolyRenewal for your pool deck, you won’t have to worry about concrete settling any longer.
