Reviving a Sinking Pool Deck: The Triangle Concrete Solutions Success Story with NCFI Polyurethanes

Imagine you have a beautiful pool in your backyard, surrounded by a concrete deck that’s been there since the late 80s or early 90s. Now picture that this once-flat deck has started to sink near the pool, creating a noticeable dip. This is exactly what happened to a homeowner, and the sinking pool deck was causing some serious problems. The ground beneath the deck hadn’t been packed properly when it was first laid, and over time, cracks had formed and let water in. This water then eroded the soil underneath, creating empty spaces and making the sinking worse. Even the pool’s plumbing was starting to feel the strain.

The homeowner had tried a few fixes—filling in the gaps with gravel, patching up the cracks, and more—but nothing really stuck. The last resort, completely redoing the deck, would have cost a whopping $60,000. That’s when they turned to Triangle Concrete Solutions for help.

Triangle Concrete Solutions had a smart, two-step plan to fix the pool deck without starting from scratch. First, they used the NCFI  TerraThane™ 24-010 to lift and steady the sunken part of the concrete, making sure everything was level with the pool again. They filled in the empty spaces underneath with another type of foam to make sure it was all solid and wouldn’t settle or sink any further.

Next, they patched up the visible cracks and damage on the surface of the deck and around the pool, smoothing everything over so it looked as good as new.

In just two and a half days, the pool area was transformed. The deck was back to being level with the pool, making it safer and nicer to look at. All the unsightly cracks and gaps were fixed, and the homeowner could rest easy knowing water wouldn’t be getting under the deck and causing more issues down the line.

Best of all, the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome. Their pool deck wasn’t just saved from further damage; it was also significantly improved, all without the enormous cost and hassle of replacing it entirely. This story is a testament to the clever, effective solutions that can save the day (and your pool deck) without breaking the bank.
