Cracked Pool Deck

When your concrete pool deck starts to crack, you must protect your home. Over time, cracked concrete might jeopardize your foundation and structural components, risking your family’s safety. It’s also common in Seattle for a damaged pool deck to lower your property’s value.

SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™, available from Matvey Foundation Repair, lifts and stabilizes cracked pool decks. We use this commercial-grade polyurethane foam to boost curb appeal, preserve your home’s framework, and create a healthier living environment for you and your family.

What Is a Cracked Pool Deck?

When issues arise, your pool deck will develop fissures and splits. Fractures range from small, superficial cracks to severe breaks, jeopardizing the structure’s stability.

Pool deck cracks affect the aesthetic value of your pool, but they also allow water to saturate the soil underneath, leading to serious structural issues. Excess water also causes mold growth and attracts pests.

As well as a cracked pool deck, you might notice other problems on your property in Seattle:

• Concrete pitting, flaking, and staining
• A cracked driveway
• A cracked sidewalk
• A cracked patio
• A sinking porch
• Sinking steps

If you ignore these issues, they will get worse, so it’s essential to contact a concrete lifting specialist like Matvey Foundation Repair as soon as possible.

Causes of Cracked Pool Decks in Western Washington

Various factors lead to your pool deck cracking. The most common issues our team sees in Seattle are:

• The soil underneath your pool deck settles unevenly, causing concrete to sink and crack. 
• Soil erosion leading to concrete damage.
• Tree roots under your pool deck displace soil and push up concrete sections.
• Saturated soil from heavy rain or flooding compacting or washing away, weakening your pool deck.
• Freeze-thaw cycles, common in Western Washington, exert pressure on your pool deck and cause cracks.
• Mistakes during concrete pouring and curing also result in cracks and structural defects.

Soil problems that damage pool decks also impact your home’s foundation. To avoid further damage, work with a professional concrete lifting team like Matvey.
