Pool Lifting
Lifting and leveling swimming pools themselves using polyurethane foam.
Lifting the swimming pool itself.
Pool Lifters uses polyurethane foam to lift and level swimming pools themselves—not just the deck around them. When a pool settles or shifts out of level, foam is injected beneath the structure to raise and support it.
Every pool and yard is different. Contact the team to talk through what you have noticed and whether polyurethane foam lifting is a good fit for your swimming pool.
Lifting raises the existing pool instead of tearing it out and rebuilding it. The right option depends on the pool and the work it needs.
Common signs a swimming pool has settled
Homeowners usually call us after noticing one or more of these changes around their pool:
- The water line looks higher along the tile on one side or end of the pool than the other.
- One end or corner of the pool shell appears lower or tilted.
- Gaps or separation have opened between the pool beam, coping, and the surrounding concrete deck.
- Water no longer reaches the skimmers evenly around the pool.
What to share when you contact us
When you call or request a quote online, a few basic details help us understand your situation:
- Where your property is located in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
- What signs of settling or tilting you have noticed in the pool itself.
- Approximately when you first noticed the change, and whether it has continued to shift.
- Whether the concrete deck or walkways around the pool have also settled.
How the work is done
How polyurethane foam pool lifting works.
Three main steps to raise and support a settled swimming pool structure.
- Step 1 · Preparation
Drill injection ports in the empty pool
With the pool drained for work, the crew drills small ports through the pool floor at the settled area to reach underneath the shell.
- Step 2 · Foam Injection
Inject polyurethane foam beneath the pool
Polyurethane foam is pumped through hoses into the ports. As it expands beneath the pool structure, it fills empty pockets and raises the low end.
- Step 3 · Level & Finish
Monitor the lift carefully & seal ports
The crew monitors the movement carefully as the structure rises into position, then seals the injection ports when the lift is complete.
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! […]
