Lifting Sunken Patios and Pool Decks Videos

Don’t Replace that Sunken Patio or Pool Deck. Let Acme Concrete Raise It for you!

Patios can settle for a number of reasons. Common causes include improper subbase construction or compaction and subbase erosion due to rainwater drainage problems. When a patio sinks along a home or foundation, rainwater begins to drain incorrectly into the settled area. This aggravates the settling problem by washing away soil beneath the concrete. Water draining towards a home can also find its way through foundation cracks and into your basement or crawlspace.

Acme Concrete can lift and repair your pool deck or patio at an affordable cost and in a time efficient manner.

🚀 *See a Sunken Pool Deck Fixed with Polyurethane!*

🎬 *What You'll See:*
Watch as we take a settled and uneven pool deck and bring it back to a safe, level surface using our concrete raising process. You'll see the problematic sunken areas before the repair, the lifting in action, and the final, stabilized result.

🏆 *The Specialist Difference:*
We focus exclusively on polyurethane concrete raising and stabilization—not coatings, power washing, or other add-ons. All our jobs use the Smart Lift System® for results you can count on. Concrete is a major investment, and if a less specialized provider makes a mistake, it can mean thousands in repairs or even full replacement. That’s why it’s in your best interest to trust a true specialist—not a multi-service company. When it comes to your property, it’s just not worth the risk.

⏱️ *How It Works:*
We carefully inject our high-density polyurethane foam beneath the sunken concrete slab. The expanding foam fills voids and gently lifts the concrete back to its original level. This creates a stable and long-lasting repair, minimizing disruption to your property.

🚧 *Common Problems We Solve:*
- Sunken or settled garage floors
- Trip hazards on sidewalks, driveways, stoops, and steps
- Settled houses on slabs or slab-on-grade homes
- Sinking or cracked patios and pool decks
- Water pooling and drainage issues
- Voids beneath foundations or concrete flatwork
- Unstable soil conditions beneath structures
- Failing seawalls and soil washout zones
- Sinking sheds or outdoor buildings
- Sunken interior floors in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings

🚀 From Mudjacking Failures to Lasting Success with Polyurethane

The owner of this property had nearly given up on concrete raising altogether. After repeated failures with outdated mudjacking services, they had adopted a “remove and replace” policy for every slab that settled.

That changed once they saw the difference polyurethane makes. Unlike mudjacking materials that are heavy, water-absorbent, and temporary, our polyurethane foam is completely impervious to water and designed to provide permanent stabilization. By choosing Acme, this property owner saved tens of thousands of dollars while avoiding costly demolition and replacement.

🎬 What You’ll See:

🏆 Why Acme?
Acme focuses exclusively on polyurethane injection technology. We continually invest in advanced equipment, high-performance materials, and technician training to ensure the highest quality repairs. That specialization means you get lasting, reliable results—not temporary fixes.

Acme did a great job lifting my driveway and the steps to the front door. Notice the before and after pics where step was raised 3-4 inches to make the steps much safer. Nick was very professional and he did a 3 car driveway and steps in 4-5 hours.

Nick, Jack and Team did a great job leveling a large section of multiple areas of concrete from a front walkway, driveway and back patio, all that needed to be lifted in many areas. Arrived on time, finished the job in a day and left all areas clean. Great work at the best price.
