Fix Cracks and Uneven Surfaces Before They Spread

Aldos Pool Plastering repairs cracked and deteriorating pool decks for homeowners in Houston.

Cracked pool decks create trip hazards and allow water to seep under the surface, which worsens the damage over time. In Houston, where heat and moisture cycles are constant, small cracks in concrete decking can expand quickly if left unaddressed. You may notice water pooling in low spots or sections of the deck that feel unstable underfoot.

Aldos Pool Plastering evaluates the cause of deck damage, whether it is settling soil, tree root pressure, or surface wear from years of exposure. We remove deteriorated concrete, stabilize the base, and patch or replace sections to restore a level walking surface. Repairs are matched to your existing deck material and finish whenever possible.

If your pool deck has visible cracks or uneven areas, schedule a deck inspection and repair estimate with Aldos Pool Plastering in Houston.

How Deck Repairs Address Safety and Drainage Issues

We begin by assessing the extent of cracking and checking for underlying issues such as soil movement or poor drainage around your pool in Houston. Small surface cracks are cleaned, filled, and sealed, while larger structural breaks require cutting out the damaged section and pouring new concrete. We also regrade areas where water collects to prevent future problems.

Once repairs are complete, you will see a level deck surface with no raised edges or gaps. Water drains away from the pool instead of pooling near the edge, and the restored sections blend with the surrounding deck. You can walk around the pool without watching for uneven spots or sharp concrete lips.

Deck repairs work best when the majority of the surface is still intact and the damage is localized. If more than half of your deck shows cracks or settled areas, replacement may be more practical than patching multiple sections. We do not repair over decks with active foundation movement or severe base failure, as those repairs will not hold.

People in Houston often ask how long repairs last, whether patched areas will look different, and when it makes sense to repair instead of replacing the entire deck.

What Homeowners Want to Know About Pool Deck Repairs

What causes pool decks to crack in the first place?
Most cracks result from soil settling, tree roots lifting the concrete, or expansion and contraction from heat cycles. Poor initial installation or inadequate base prep also contributes to premature cracking.
How long do deck repairs typically last?
Properly executed repairs on stable ground can last ten years or more. If the underlying cause of the damage is not corrected, new cracks may appear in adjacent areas over time.
Why does water pool on my deck even after repairs?
Pooling water usually means the deck slope was not corrected during the repair. We regrade repaired sections to direct water away from the pool edge and prevent standing water.
What does it cost to repair a cracked pool deck?
Repair costs depend on the number and size of damaged areas and whether base work is needed. Small crack fills cost less than full section replacements that require cutting and repaving.
When should I replace the deck instead of repairing it?
You should consider replacement if cracks are widespread, the deck has settled in multiple places, or repairs have already been done and failed. Replacement offers a fresh start with proper base preparation.
