Low-Impact Pool Deck, Porch and Patio Leveling in GA

When it comes to maintaining a safe and enjoyable outdoor living space, few things are as crucial as ensuring that your pool deck, porches and patios are level and stable. Uneven surfaces can present significant hazards, not only detracting from the aesthetic appeal of your home but also posing risks for accidents.

Fortunately, Advance Concrete Lifting and Leveling in Marietta, GA, offers low-impact solutions using residential geotechnical polyurethane for effective concrete leveling.

Understanding the Problem: Why Concrete Settles

Concrete surfaces naturally settle over time due to factors such as soil erosion, water drainage issues and the weight of the structure itself. When your pool deck, porch or patio settles unevenly, it can lead to several problems:

• Safety Hazards: Unlevel surfaces can cause trips and falls, particularly around pools where wet surfaces increase the risk.
• Water Pooling: Uneven areas can lead to pooling water, which can damage your concrete and create an environment conducive to the growth of algae or mold.
• Aesthetic Issues: Cracks, dips and angles can draw attention away from your home’s beauty and diminish curb appeal.

The Solution: Residential Geotechnical Polyurethane

At Advance Concrete Lifting and Leveling, we utilize advanced geotechnical polyurethane foams to restore the level of your pool deck, porch or patio with minimal disruption. This method is highly effective and offers numerous benefits:

• Minimal Acorn Impact: Our polyurethane leveling process requires only small holes (about the size of a dime) drilled into the concrete. These holes are later filled, leaving no permanent scars on your surface.
• Quick Cure: The polyurethane foam cures quickly, often within 15 minutes, allowing you to use your patio or pool area almost immediately after the process is completed.
• Versatile Application: This method is suitable for a variety of concrete structures, making it a versatile solution for homes with multiple outdoor surfaces that require leveling.

The Polyurethane Leveling Process

1. Assessment: A professional evaluation is conducted to identify all the areas requiring leveling. We determine the extent of settling and any underlying issues.
2. Drilling: Small holes are drilled strategically in the affected areas.
3. Injection of Polyurethane: The polyurethane foam is injected into the voids beneath the concrete slabs. As the foam expands, it lifts the concrete to the desired level.
4. Sealing & Finishing: After leveling, the holes are filled, and we may offer sealing options to protect your concrete from future damage.

The Benefits of Low-Impact Concrete Leveling

Why have concrete leveling with polyurethane instead of replacement?

• Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other solutions like complete replacement, polyurethane injection is much more affordable and can significantly extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.
• Environmentally Friendly: Polyurethane is a sustainable option, offering minimal environmental impact compared to traditional methods that may result in extensive excavation and disposal.
• Durability: The foam used in our applications is resistant to moisture and does not shift or settle over time, providing a long-lasting solution to your concrete issues.
