It is all too common to see the concrete of an in-ground pool deck area start to develop cracks over time from a multitude of sources. IN the state of Florida, it is not uncommon for a house to shift and finish settling, creating cracks, but it can also be a sign of a much more serious problem. With the help of a contractor, Key vista residents can help determine the source of their pool deck cracking, as well as get it repaired. A pool can start to look bad with additional cracks, but it is also a safety hazard as people trip and fall over cracks.
Keeping Cracks Sealed is a Huge Part of Preventing More
When it comes to cracks in a pool deck, one of the most important aspects for homeowners to remember is to try and keep those cracks sealed and way from retaining water. This can come from rain, or it can be the water from the pool itself, but this water can penetrate these cracks and get under the soil of the concrete, creating bigger issues for homeowners and contractors. Key vista residents hire the assistance of a professional contractor in order to get the cracks sealed properly, as messing up on sealing could cause additional water to seep through the cracks.
Common Causes of Cracks in a Concrete Pool Deck
While shifting soils is often the most common reason why cracks may develop in a pool deck, it is not the only cause. Another common reason why someone may discover the cause of their cracks by a contractor, Key Vista residents might have had their pool created by someone who does not know what they are doing, or chooses to cut corners. Pool decks are often created with expansion and control joints to reduce cracking, but if the pool does not have them, the problem only worsens. Poor compaction is another likely reason why a homeowner may be experiencing cracking in their pool deck.
