Before repairs began, this Jacksonville, FL homeowner noticed signs of pool settlement and uneven support beneath the pool floor. Over time, unstable soil conditions and voids below the pool caused sections of the pool to lose proper support, leading to concerns about long-term structural integrity. While the damage may not always be obvious at first glance, underlying soil movement can place stress on the pool shell, deck, and surrounding areas if left unaddressed. These symptoms indicated the need for a permanent stabilization solution to prevent further settlement and protect the pool structure.
With the source of the settlement identified, our team installed helical piers directly through the pool floor to transfer the weight of the pool to stable, load-bearing soil below. These piers provide a deep, permanent foundation solution, preventing further movement caused by weak or shifting soils. Once the helical piers were set and properly load-tested, access points remained open in preparation for the next phase of repair: polyurethane injection. The poly would be used to fill remaining voids beneath the pool floor and create uniform support around the newly installed piers, completing the stabilization system.
After the installation of helical piers to provide deep structural support, our team completed polyurethane injection beneath the pool floor to address remaining voids and weak soil conditions. The high-density poly expanded beneath the pool, filling empty spaces and creating uniform support around the newly installed piers. This process worked hand-in-hand with the helical piers, ensuring the pool was not only stabilized at depth but also properly supported across the entire floor surface. Once the poly injection was complete, access points were sealed, leaving the pool structure reinforced, level, and ready for final restoration.
