Photo Album: Sinking Concrete Threatens Pool's Integrity in Whitby, Ontario
Maintaining your home and backyard's integrity is a vital step in ensuring it lasts and your money is well spent.
In Whitby, Ontario, a customer decided to reach out to Canadian Concrete Leveling to repair his sinking pool deck. He and his family loved using the area each summer, but several trip hazards had popped up due to the corners of the deck sinking.
Foreman Kyle O'Brien met with the customer and inspected his pool deck. Kyle explained that over time, water causes fill soil to wash away, leading to sinking concrete. He walked the customer through our PolyLevel® System, explaining how our high-density polyurethane lifts concrete. The customer was eager to complete the work before summer began so he booked a date for our crew to make the repair.
Foreman Kyle McKeown started by drilling dime-sized holes in the pool deck. Through these ports, he injected our PolyLevel® System. As the polymers are injected, they expand, lifting the concrete while compressing the soil below. With the pool deck level, Kyle patched the holes with fresh concrete.
The customer can't wait to use his pool in the summer, knowing his family is safe and his investment is protected.
