Cracked Pool Deck

Having a swimming pool at home is a great way to relax and create lasting memories with family. However, there are some concerns when the pool deck shows signs of damage.

Not only do cracked pool decks reduce your home’s curb appeal, but they also create serious safety risks. As a team made up of homeowners, Foundation Repair of Western Colorado knows how stressful these issues can be, especially when kids are running around the pool!

With the most durable concrete lifting methods in Colorado, we’ll make your pool safe to use again. Learn why your pool deck is cracking and what you can do to fix it.

Not to mention, pool deck cracks can also be a sign that other concrete on your property is at risk. Be sure to look out for the following:

• Cracked sidewalks
• Damaged concrete driveway
• Sinking porch
• Sinking concrete steps
• Cracked concrete patio
• Concrete pitting, flaking, and staining
• Sinking concrete slab

All concrete damage happens when concrete moves. Various elements contribute to cracked pool decks, including:

• Ground Shifts: Uneven settling of the ground below can lead the concrete to distort and fracture.
• Soil Erosion: Water with chemicals seeping from the pool will wash away supporting soil, causing the deck to crack and sink as gaps form underground.
• Tree Growth: Roots from trees expanding underneath the pool deck will displace soil and push concrete sections out of line.
• Weather Extremes: Torrential rains or floodwaters can destabilize the ground support, whereas freezing and thawing patterns can introduce cracks.
• Installation Mistakes: Errors during the initial concrete setting or curing may lead to sinking concrete, which in turn leads to concrete cracks.

Concrete is not a flexible material, so when factors like this cause it to move around, cracks are much more likely to appear. That’s why it is always a good idea to have an awareness of what causes concrete damage.

Definitely! Repairing a cracked pool deck is possible. But a lasting fix isn’t about merely filling in the cracks with sealants. DIY materials or outdated methods like mudjacking are inefficient in the long run, as they don’t actually solve the root causes.
