We have an inground pool and a portion of our cement deck has fallen 1" to 3" over the (27) years. It is mainly from ground settling after a sewer line was re-routed when the pool was initially installed. The area affected is around a corner of the pool, 20ft along one side and about 10ft around the other. The cement was installed well (6 bag mix with wire mesh) and has only separated at the tooled joint lines with no irregular cracks thru the slabs.
What's a good solution to achieve a surface at its original height for astetics and safety?
Should we replace the sunken slabs (5-6 pcs), lift them with slurry jacking material or add a secondary material over the top?
We're concerned about replacing since the demolition process can damage things, slurry jacking since inlet and return lines are randomly buried underneath the slabs (potential for puncture from drilling or stress cracking from jacking pressures), so we think a topcoat that adheres and looks good is the best but what material would that be?
