Derrick M. of Memphis, TN reached out to us after noticing several sunken concrete slabs around the deep end of his pool deck. A dedicated grill master with six grills and a beautifully upgraded backyard, Derrick takes pride in creating a space perfect for entertaining. However, the uneven concrete was becoming an eyesore—and more importantly, a safety concern. He and his wife, Pearl, regularly host friends and family, and they wanted to eliminate tripping hazards before their next gathering.
The couple had attempted a temporary fix by pouring concrete into the gap between the pool and the sunken slab to improve appearance and reduce risk. But they knew this wasn’t a permanent solution. Their biggest concern during the repair was protecting the pool liner—breaking up the concrete filler could result in sharp debris puncturing the liner if it slipped between the liner and the surrounding dirt. With this in mind, we exercised extreme care during removal. To lift and level the sunken slabs, we installed a full 3-part Concrete Protection System (CPS), including PolyLevel® foam injection to raise the slabs with precision, ensuring a stable and seamless poolside surface.
Thanks to careful planning and coordination—like photographing the driveway for proper truck placement and leaving the back gate open for access—the project ran smoothly. Derrick and Pearl were thrilled with the results. Their pool deck is now level, safe, and party-ready. If your pool deck is settling or becoming unsafe, contact us today to learn how our Concrete Protection System can restore both safety and beauty to your outdoor space.
