pool deck problemsJust like your home, your pool and pool deck can be affected by all problems due to shifting soils and varying moisture content in soils. Some common pool and pool deck problems include:

  • Sloping Concrete Pool Deck: Settling pool decks can create a dangerous uneven surface.
  • Pool Deck Cracks: Cracks in your pool or pool deck are caused by either improper construction or soil movement under the concrete.
  • Loss of Pool Water: Cracks in your concrete pool may also result in loss of water and pool chemicals.
  • Separation at Coping: If the pool walls and the coping are separating, it could mean there is a larger disturbance in the ground under and around the pool. This can happen due to sinkholes and soil settlement.

Causes of Pool Deck Problems

There are several factors that cause pool and pool deck problems. Most of the time, these issues have something to do with settlement and soil movement. The most common causes of pool deck movement and other issues:

  • Poor Pool Construction: When the pool is constructed, the backfill material may not be properly compacted. As a result, the soil settles and creates voids under the pool deck.
  • Heavy Concrete Slab: Heavy concrete slab around the pool can cause loose soil to compress under the slab. This leads to settlement and sinking concrete surfaces.
  • Fluctuating Weather Patterns: Hot weather conditions and cold weather causes the concrete to expand and contract. Freeze and thaw conditions can also be a major factor.
  • Sinkhole Formation: When sinkholes form around your property or under your pool or deck, they can cause the soil and the ground surface above to shift. This leaves your pool and deck without adequate support, leading to settlement, cracking, and possibly collapse.
