    Pool steps heaving

    Hope this works. Here is a picture of one of the cracks as it appeared in the spring of 2013. On the advice of a pool guy, we decided to leave it and see how it fared through the winter of 2013-14. We had a mild winter and it didn't get any worse, so we had a guy fill it with resin last year...

    Pool steps heaving

    Hi, I posted here a couple of years ago about my inground pool steps heaving. Since then, I have had: - the cracked concrete deck replaced and the cracks in the original steps repaired (2011), - the new deck removed and the steps completely replaced after they cracked again, along with a new...

    Ongoing problems with steps

    Does anybody have any opinions? The pool renovator was out to look at it and is puzzled, as well. It doesn't look like much, if any movement, has occurred in the steps, although there is a crack in the concrete deck running from the other side of the steps out to the perimeter. The deck on...

    Ongoing problems with steps

    My in-ground pool steps have cracked for the third year in a row! These are brand-new, good quality steps that were installed last year. After I had problems two years in a row with heaving and cracking of the steps and concrete deck, I decided to bite the bullet and put in a new set of steps...

    Cracked and heaved steps

    Thanks, dpannell. The concrete guys are going to call me as soon as they can schedule the removal. I want them to do the work so they can minimize the damage to other parts of the patio. Once the concrete is out, we should be able to get in there and see what the problem is. If that...

    Cracked and heaved steps

    This is the second time this has happened. When we bought our house six years ago, it had an existing three-year-old pool. Two years ago, when we opened it in the spring, we discovered that the fibreglass steps had heaved over the winter and large cracks had appeared on either side. We had...
