Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane foam lifting and leveling for pool decks and the concrete around your pool.
Lifting the concrete around your pool.
Pool Lifters lifts and levels the concrete around your swimming pool—including pool decks, walkways, and adjacent patio slabs—using polyurethane foam.
When soil beneath poolside concrete washes out or settles, slabs can sink, tilt, or pull away from neighboring sections. Injecting polyurethane foam beneath the slab raises and supports the concrete without pouring a new deck.
Common signs of settling poolside concrete
Pool decks and walkways around a pool often show settling in a few familiar ways:
- Concrete deck panels that have sunk lower than neighboring slabs.
- Uneven joints or trip edges along poolside walkways and steps.
- Slabs tilting toward or away from the pool coping or house foundation.
- Low spots where water puddles on the deck instead of draining away cleanly.
What to share when you contact us
When you call or send a quote request, let us know:
- Your city or neighborhood in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
- Which concrete areas around the pool have sunk or tilted (deck slabs, walkways, steps, or patio sections).
- Whether the swimming pool itself also appears out of level, or only the surrounding concrete is affected.
How the work is done
How polyurethane foam concrete lifting works.
Three main steps to raise and support settled pool decks, walkways, and patio slabs.
- Step 1 · Preparation
Drill small ports in the settled slab
Small ports are drilled through the sunken pool deck, walkway, or patio slab (or accessed along the slab edge) to reach the void underneath.
- Step 2 · Foam Injection
Inject expanding foam under the concrete
Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete slab, filling washed-out voids and lifting the settled section back into alignment.
- Step 3 · Level & Finish
Check lift with gauges & patch ports
Using a precision dial gauge on the deck edge, the crew monitors the slab as it rises, then patches the small injection ports.
Comparing your options
Polyurethane foam lifting vs. full replacement.
Homeowners often wonder whether a settled swimming pool or concrete pool deck has to be torn out and rebuilt from scratch. Here is how foam lifting compares when the structure is suitable for lifting.
| What to compare | Polyurethane foam lifting (Pool Lifters) | Tearing out and replacing |
|---|---|---|
| Existing pool or deck | Keeps your existing swimming pool shell or concrete deck and lifts it from underneath. | Breaks up, demolishes, and hauls away the existing pool structure or concrete slabs. |
| How the work is done | Small ports are drilled, and foam is pumped through hoses to the pool or deck. | Demolition and new construction in your backyard. |
| Underlying soil and voids | Expanding foam fills empty pockets underneath and supports the raised pool or slab. | New concrete or gunite is placed back over the ground after re-grading. |
| When it fits best | The pool shell or concrete slab is structurally intact and needs to be lifted and leveled. | The concrete or pool shell is too severely broken or deteriorated to lift. |

Longcrete recently filled some voids under my driveway and a few adjacent sidewalk panels, and it raised the back yard patio which had sunk below the ground line and had become quite steep. Robert and crew did an excellent job, ensuring the voids were filled via the injection ports as well as from the perimeter of the driveway. The back patio looks like it was constructed in the new position! I strongly recommend Longcrete!

Chris's team repaired our front sidewalk after it had settled significantly causing water puddling and algae buildup from irrigation runoff and rainwater. This technique is so impressive. Minimally invasive so you actually have to look for the small holes they use to pump the foam down in. After leveling, they hit all the stains that had built up with a pressure washer and voila, my sidewalk looks normal again. Pricing was very fair and much cheaper than pouring a new sidewalk! Thanks LongCrete!

I've had LongCrete lift several sections that have shifted or sunk. As an engineer, I like their system, promptness, friendliness, and quality of work. Rip and Replace was many times more expensive, and as a retiree, cost is always a factor. THANKS LONGCRETE! […]
