Uneven pool decks can create safety concerns and threaten the long-term condition of the pool area. Settled concrete can form trip hazards, allow water to collect near the pool edge, and place added stress on coping, tile, and surrounding structures. Over time, these issues can lead to further damage and costly repairs if left unaddressed.
Foamjection lifts sunken pool deck slabs back into position without removing or replacing the concrete. Our polyurethane eco-friendly concrete lifting process restores support beneath the deck, improves drainage, and helps protect your pool and surrounding surfaces—creating a safer, more level pool deck that’s ready for use immediately and costs far less than replacement.
Pool decks sink when the soil beneath the concrete loses stability. Common causes include:
Because pool areas are exposed to constant moisture, settlement often worsens if left unaddressed.
You may need pool deck leveling if you notice:
Addressing these issues early helps improve safety and prevent further movement.
If nearby concrete has also settled, patio leveling, walkway & sidewalk leveling, or concrete slab leveling may be needed to stabilize connected surfaces and maintain consistent height around the pool area.
Foamjection levels pool decks by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. The foam expands to fill voids, lift the slab, and restore firm support below the surface.
Most pool deck leveling projects are completed in one visit, and many surfaces are ready for use the same day.
Homeowners choose pool deck leveling because it restores safety without the cost and disruption of replacement. Lifting improves drainage, reduces trip hazards, and keeps existing concrete in place.
For pool decks that are intact but uneven, leveling is often the most practical solution.
Pool decks often become uneven due to soil movement beneath the concrete. Common causes include soil erosion from water splash-out, poor drainage around the pool, settling of backfill soil, and natural ground movement over time.
In some areas, freeze-thaw cycles can also contribute by causing the soil to expand and contract, leading to slab movement and uneven surfaces.
Yes — our foam lifting method is safe and precise. It won’t damage the pool shell, liner, or plumbing. We’ve been lifting pool decks for decades. We know how to protect your investment, prevent trip hazards, and restore a smooth, level surface — all without damaging your pool or landscaping.
In many cases, yes. Leveling costs less, takes less time, and avoids removing existing concrete.
Most projects are completed in just a few hours during a single visit.
Yes. Leveling restores even surfaces and helps reduce safety risks. No more stubbed toes. 
No. Pool deck leveling does not disturb the pool structure. The polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete deck to restore support under the slab, not the pool shell itself.
Before lifting, the relationship between the pool deck and the pool structure is evaluated. The process is planned and controlled to ensure the deck is raised safely without placing stress on the pool, coping, or tile. In most cases, pool deck leveling helps protect the pool by improving drainage and reducing movement around the structure.
Yes. Pool deck leveling can help protect the pool structure long-term.
By lifting and stabilizing the concrete deck, leveling reduces movement around the pool and helps improve drainage away from the pool shell. This can limit stress on coping, tile, and surrounding surfaces caused by settling or water intrusion.
Stabilizing the deck also helps prevent voids and soil erosion from worsening over time, which supports the overall integrity of the pool area and helps avoid more costly repairs in the future.
Yes. Stamped and decorative pool decks can be leveled with care. The lifting process happens beneath the concrete, which helps preserve the existing surface pattern and finish. The access holes are small and patched after lifting, and over time these patches often blend in as the concrete weathers. While an exact color match cannot always be guaranteed, care is taken to keep the repair as subtle as possible.
Leveling requires only small access holes that are filled after the repair. They’re subtle and far less noticeable than tearing out and replacing sections of the deck.
In many cases, yes. Pool deck leveling is typically performed without draining the pool because the foam is injected beneath the deck, not into the pool structure. The relationship between the deck and the pool is evaluated beforehand to ensure the work is done safely without placing stress on the pool shell, coping, or tile.
We’ll let you know exactly what needs to be moved before we begin.
The polyurethane foam is injected below the concrete deck and cures into a stable, closed-cell material that stays in place. It is waterproof, does not absorb moisture, and does not leach into the soil or pool water. Once cured, the foam is sealed beneath the slab and does not affect nearby surfaces, landscaping, or the pool itself.
Because the foam is lightweight, it restores support without adding excess pressure to the soil around the pool. This helps reduce future movement and protects surrounding areas such as coping, tile, and expansion joints. The process also avoids tear-out and heavy equipment, which lowers the risk of damage to the pool structure during repair.
In addition, the foam used for concrete lifting contains renewable content and supports an eco-friendly approach by stabilizing existing concrete instead of replacing it.
Yes. Sunken or uneven concrete creates trip hazards around the pool, where wet surfaces already increase the risk of slips and falls. For homeowners and property managers, these conditions can lead to injuries, complaints, or liability concerns if left unaddressed.
Leveling restores a smooth, even walking surface around the pool, helping reduce trip hazards and improve overall safety for family members, guests, and visitors.
