Cracks in your pool deck are often caused by a combination of shifting soil, water exposure, and natural settling. In Florida, the sandy soil and heavy rainfall already put concrete at risk, but pool decks face even more stress. Water splashing out of the pool, constant moisture, and chlorine exposure can seep beneath the concrete surface, weakening the soil and causing it to wash out or settle unevenly. Over time, this leads to cracking, sinking, or uneven slabs. Left unaddressed, these cracks can become safety hazards and lead to more costly damage.
