Hello,
Trying to figure out the best options to replace concrete slabs sinking around pool.
Rain water ending up in back of pool area, decay of roots from removed trees? Slowly going down through years.
The issue with concrete upfront was caused by water leak a few months ago, elbow broken for pipe going back to pump.
A few ideas so far:
- Remove old concrete and install new one with steel bars. Some indicated that it would be better to add dirt and compact it and see what happens for a few months before pouring new concrete. Now no bars in it.
- Adding river stones on top seems really pricey considering sq ft.
- Pour concrete on top of actual slabs and bring up to level. Don't see how adding more weight would stop the problem.
- Drill holes in slabs and inject material to bring them up.
- Resurface all area by removing rocks on top and apply special coat of rubber paint.
Trying to limit cost since planning to move out soon.
