Restore Safety, Function, and Beauty to Your Outdoor Spaces

Cracked, uneven, or sinking pool decks aren’t just unsightly — they’re a safety hazard. At Sidewalk Savers, we specialize in lifting and repairing concrete pool decks, patios and steps to protect your family, guests, and property.

Our experts use advanced polyjacking and concrete repair techniques to lift and stabilize surfaces quickly and efficiently. Unlike full replacement, our approach is cost-effective, minimally disruptive, and long-lasting.

Why Repairing Your Pool Deck & Concrete Steps Matters

  • Safety First: Uneven slabs can cause trips and falls. When wet, deteriorated concrete becomes slippery and loose, creating eyesores and increasing homeowner risk.
  • Prevent Further Damage: Cracks that start small can widen and deepen. Water infiltration beneath concrete can erode soil, leading to sinkage or slab detachment.
  • Improve Appearance & Home Value: A well-maintained pool deck adds to curb appeal. Cracked, spalled, or discoloured areas can significantly detract from the overall look of your yard.
  • Save Money Over Time: Repairing early usually costs much less than full replacement. Well-executed repairs preserve much of the existing structure and reduce waste and time.

Our Repair Solutions

We tailor our repairs to your unique needs. 

  1. Concrete Lifting / Leveling (Polyjacking, Mudjacking, etc.)
    • Raise settled or sunken slabs around pool decks and patios.
    • Use foam injections under the slab to displace water, stabilize soil, and fill voids.
    • Ensure even, level surfaces for safety, aesthetics and proper water drainage.
  2. Crack Filling & Joint Sealing
    • Fill small‐to‐medium cracks using backer rod, grout, and sealants.
    • Seal joints to prevent water intrusion.
    • Use slip-resistant sealants where foot traffic is high.
  3. Resurfacing / Overlay
    • For pool decks with widespread surface damage (spalling, scaling) we offer sealants and other coatings that increases slip resistance, restores aesthetics.
  4. Drainage Correction & Soil Stabilization
    • Fix drainage flow so water diverts away from the slab.
    • Fill voids and stabilize loose soil.
    • Install control joints or saw cuts if needed to allow expansion/contraction.
  5. Sealing & Protective Finishes
    • Apply sealants that resist chemicals, UV, chlorine, acids (from pool water) etc.
    • Provide non-slip surface treatments especially around wet step edges.

Our Process

Here’s what the client can expect when we handle your Pool Deck & Concrete Step Repair:

  1. Free Inspection & Estimate
    We begin with a thorough site evaluation: check concrete condition, measure settlement, inspect safety, check soil condition, drainage, and underlying causes.
  2. Diagnosis & Plan
    From the inspection, we prepare a repair plan: identifying what needs lifting and the best repair techniques, materials, timeline, cost.
  3. Repair Execution
    • Prep work: remove loose concrete, clean surfaces, prepare joints.
    • Concrete lifting or slab leveling if needed.
    • Crack repairs, patching or overlaying.
    • Finish sealing, texturing, or adding safety features.
  4. Quality Check & Cleanup
    After repairs, we check all surfaces for levelness, safety, and finish quality. We clean up the site thoroughly.
  5. Maintenance Recommendations
    We provide guidance on how to keep the repaired surfaces in good condition: when to reseal, how to clean, avoid chemical or salt damage, inspect yearly etc.
