View Full Version : How to repair an unlevel pool

I live in Texas and the soils have a high level of clay (highly expansive). Due to drainage issues on my property the soils became super saturated and caused my pool to shift up on one side 3.5 inches. This has caused the pool not to function properly, water no longer flows into one of the skimmers. I'm trying to find the most cost effective solution and was reading about concrete jacking...anyone have any experience with this method of trying to relevel a pool and/or other recommendations?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Wow!

I must say I have NO idea how to practically handle that! I hope our pool installers have a way to deal with it.

After a moment's reflection the doubly scary question comes to mind: How do you know this won't happen again in the future? At what point is the Texas clay considered solid?

I don't have THAT problem in New Jersey. I can't dig down 6" ANYWHERE in my yard without hitting rock--they had to blast to build this development. So nothing moves much ever.

Stevo,
I have the exact same problem.
I live in South Texas, Portland, across the bay from Corpus Christi.
Looking for solution.
