Case Study: Restoring a Dropping Pool Deck Without Disrupting the Backyard Problem
A homeowner contacted Slab Rescue after noticing their pool deck was sinking. The dropping sections not only created trip hazards but also posed long-term structural risks. After assessing the situation, Slab Rescue determined the deck could be saved using foam injection. The alternatives were:
1. Partial Replacement: Replacing only the sinking sections, which would result in a mismatched appearance.
2. Full Replacement: Removing and reconstructing the entire deck. This option was costly due to the backyard’s limited accessibility, which would require specialized equipment and leave the yard in disarray for months.
Case Study: Saving a Pool Deck Before Peak Rental Season Problem
A property manager contacted Slab Rescue with an urgent issue at a rental property near a waterway. Soil erosion had caused a massive void beneath a decorative stamped concrete pool deck, creating a serious safety hazard. A 4″ thick slab, measuring approximately 25’x30′, was left dangerously suspended by the wire mesh within the concrete. The property owner faced two options:
1. Remove and Replace: Demolish the existing deck and pour a new one. This solution would require 2-3 weeks to complete after scheduling a contractor, delaying availability during peak rental season.
2. Innovative Foam Injection: Use Slab Rescue’s flowable Fill Foam™ to fill the void and stabilize the slab. This minimally invasive method would save the decorative concrete and avoid a lengthy disruption.
