Cracked or sinking pool deck

Water splashing and poor soil compaction cause heavy pool deck slabs to sink and crack. We stabilize the underlying soil and level the deck, restoring a smooth, safe surface for your family.

What causes pool decks to crack and sink?

Section diagram

Pool decks are highly prone to sinking. The combination of splashing water, poor soil packing around the pool walls during construction, and shifting weather creates the perfect storm for soil failure.

Root causes 3 most common

Chlorine and saltwater splash over the edge, seep into joints, and slowly wash away the loose soil supporting the slabs.

When pools are built, the dirt dug out is thrown back loosely around the walls. Over time, this uncompacted soil naturally drops, taking the deck with it.

Intense summer heat dries out the underlying ground, causing it to deflate and leave hollow pockets right under the heavy concrete.
