Problem:

This homeowner’s backyard oasis had become more of a headache than a place to relax. The outdoor living space featured several concrete structures, including an in-ground pool deck, a patio, and a set of concrete steps leading to the basement entrance. Over time, the concrete began to settle and crack, creating multiple concerns throughout the property.
The outer edges of the pool deck had settled, medium-sized cracks had developed across both the pool deck and patio slabs, and a trip hazard had formed near the basement steps. Beyond diminishing the appearance of the backyard, these issues also created potential safety risks for family and guests.
With summer in full swing and the backyard meant to be enjoyed, the homeowner wanted a solution that could quickly restore both the appearance and safety of the space without lengthy construction or major disruption. They turned to Stabil Solutions for a fast, minimally invasive repair.

Solution:

After evaluating the backyard, the Stabil Solutions team developed a repair plan to restore both the safety and functionality of the outdoor living space. The team began by removing the deteriorated joint sealant and preparing the affected areas for polyurethane injection.
Polyurethane was then strategically injected beneath the settled edge of the pool deck and the trip hazard near the basement steps, lifting the concrete back toward its original elevation. Once the slabs had been restored, fresh joint sealant was applied to the cracks and injection points, leaving the repaired surfaces clean, protected, and ready for use.

Results:

The project was completed in less than a day, allowing the homeowner to quickly get back to enjoying their backyard. By lifting the settled concrete, eliminating the trip hazards, and sealing the repaired surfaces, Stabil Solutions restored the safety, functionality, and appearance of the outdoor living space.
In addition to improving aesthetics, the repairs helped protect the concrete from future water intrusion through open joints and cracks, reducing one of the factors that can contribute to continued soil movement beneath the slabs. The homeowner was left with a safer, more attractive backyard that was ready to be enjoyed for the remainder of the summer.
