When outdoor concrete settles, it turns the part of your property you should enjoy most into a space you start avoiding. Maybe the patio furniture wobbles no matter how you arrange it, or you've noticed water sitting against the house after every rain instead of draining toward the yard. Around the pool, the deck may have pulled away from the pool coping, and that growing gap has become a concern every time your family or guests are out there barefoot. 

Pool deck leveling and concrete patio leveling with polyurethane foam addresses all of it without tearing anything out. Rapid Raise & Sprays is a locally owned company based in Greeley that specializes in outdoor concrete lifting and repair across Northern Colorado. We inject lightweight foam beneath your settled slab, raise it back to a smooth, level surface, and have you back outside the same day. 

What Is Pool Deck and Patio Leveling? 

Pool deck leveling is a concrete repair method that raises sunken or uneven outdoor slabs back to their original position without tearing them out. Over time, the soil beneath your patio or pool deck shifts, compresses, or washes away, and the slab above settles into the voids left behind. Rather than a full replacement, the polyurethane foam injection process corrects the problem in place by injecting polyurethane foam beneath the affected sections. The foam expands to fill those gaps, and the concrete rises back to level.

Why Patios and Pool Decks Settle in Northern Colorado 

The ground beneath outdoor concrete in Greeley and Northern Colorado is rarely as stable as it looks. The region's clay soil swells with moisture during wet springs, then shrinks as summer dries it out. Every freeze-thaw cycle forces that movement further, and over the years, the soil beneath your patio or pool deck compresses unevenly or erodes entirely. 

Outdoor slabs take this harder than interior concrete for a few reasons. They're fully exposed to rain, snowmelt, and irrigation runoff. The ground around a pool area is often backfilled after construction, and that disturbed soil is more prone to settling than undisturbed earth. Patios built on graded slopes lose soil faster along the downhill edge. 

These aren't flaws in how the concrete was poured. They're the natural result of ground movement in this climate, and they occur on properties of every age across the region. 

Our Patio and Pool Deck Concrete Lifting Service 

Outdoor concrete takes a unique kind of abuse compared to a garage slab or a driveway. Your patio and pool deck sit fully exposed to Northern Colorado's weather; they border landscaping and pool structures that complicate a standard replacement, and they're the surfaces your family and guests use barefoot. 

That's why our patio concrete lifting service is built specifically around the challenges outdoor concrete presents. Here's what we handle.

Sunken Patio Slabs

We work on patios of every size and layout across Greeley and Northern Colorado. When one or more sections of your patio have settled, our crew targets each settled slab individually, injecting polyurethane foam beneath the concrete and raising it until it sits flush with the surrounding sections. Your family can walk across the patio without stepping over uneven edges or navigating around trip hazards, and outdoor furniture sits level again.

Concrete Pool Deck Repair and Leveling

A concrete pool deck that has settled creates more than an uneven surface. Settling concrete around a pool can pull away from the pool coping, creating gaps that allow water and debris to enter the spaces between the deck and the pool structure. That separation puts stress on the coping itself and can lead to cracking along the pool edge over time. We raise the deck back to match the pool coping line, closing those gaps and restoring a safe, even walking surface around the entire pool area.

Trip Hazard Correction

Raised or sunken edges between patio sections are one of the most common outdoor trip hazards we see. They're a particular concern when you're hosting guests, when kids are running barefoot, or when older family members are using the space. We raise the settled side to eliminate the lip, giving you a smooth transition between sections that people can walk across without watching every step.

Drainage and Water Pooling 

When your patio or pool deck loses its original grade, water collects where it shouldn't. Standing water on outdoor concrete accelerates the settling cycle by softening the soil beneath, and it creates slippery sections that make the surface less safe for everyone using it. We restore the slope built into the slab when it was originally poured, so water moves away from your home, pool, and outdoor living area as it's supposed to.

Additional Services That Protect Your Results

We also offer joint sealing and crack repair to help limit water intrusion after the slab has been lifted. For some projects, we may also recommend a penetrating concrete sealer as an optional next step to help protect the surface from ongoing moisture exposure. These services are not automatically part of every patio or pool deck leveling job, so we only recommend them when the condition of the concrete calls for them. 

From Estimate to Finished: How an Outdoor Leveling Project Works 

Every patio and pool deck project has its own layout to work around, from furniture groupings and landscaping to pool equipment, grills, and planters. Here's how we handle outdoor concrete specifically.

You Reach Out

Call us at 970-616-0730 or fill out our online form. We'll set up a time to come by and look at your patio or pool deck to see what's going on beneath the surface. 

We Walk the Space With You

Our team assesses your outdoor concrete section by section, checking for settlement patterns, drainage changes, and where the soil has shifted underneath. We identify what needs lifting and what doesn't, and you get a clear price before we start. If something looks fine, we'll say so.

We Work Around Your Outdoor Layout

This is where outdoor projects differ from a garage or driveway. We position our equipment to avoid your landscaping, keep clear of your pool structure, and section off only the area that needs attention. The drill holes are small, about the size of a dime, and the polyurethane foam is injected at controlled pressure, so we raise each slab gradually without disturbing the ground around pool walls or retaining edges.

You're Back Outside the Same Day

We patch every drill hole with matching material, clean up the work area, and your patio or pool deck is ready to use. The foam sets up in about 15 minutes. No waiting days for new concrete to set, and no barricades blocking your outdoor space while you count down the clock. 

Why Polyurethane Foam Instead of Mudjacking or Replacement?

If you've looked into fixing your settled patio or pool deck, you've probably come across a few different options. Here's why polyurethane foam has become the preferred repair method for outdoor concrete across Northern Colorado.

Traditional mudjacking pumps a heavy slurry of sand and cement beneath your slab. It can work short-term, but that extra weight is a problem for the backfilled soil around patios and pool areas, which is already more prone to settling than undisturbed ground. The drill holes are also much larger — about 1-5/8 inches compared to our 5/8 inch holes", — and those bigger patches are harder to hide on a patio or pool deck where appearance matters. Over time, the mudjacking material can also break down when exposed to moisture, which outdoor concrete deals with constantly. 

Full replacement means demolishing the existing slab, hauling away the debris, excavating next to your pool structure or landscaping, and pouring new concrete that needs days to cure before anyone can walk on it. For most patios and pool decks, that's far more disruption and cost than the problem actually requires. 

Polyurethane injection solves the same problem with less impact on your property. The foam is lighter, so it won't burden weak or backfilled soil. It resists water, which matters for outdoor concrete that sits exposed to rain, snowmelt, and irrigation. The drill holes are small, the foam cures quickly, and the result is a stabilized foundation beneath your existing slab that's built to handle Northern Colorado's seasonal ground movement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio and Pool Deck Leveling 

Pool Deck and Patio Leveling FAQ
Yes. Our equipment is compact, and our process is precise. The polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab at a controlled pressure, so we raise the deck gradually without stressing the pool coping or walls. We've handled pool deck projects across Northern Colorado and work carefully around the pool structure on every single one.
If the slab is still structurally intact, leveling is often the more practical repair option. When the concrete has severe cracking, major surface deterioration, or structural failure, replacement may make more sense. During the estimate, we'll assess the slab condition and let you know which approach fits the situation best.
The foam we use is inert once cured and designed for below-slab support in outdoor environments. Closed-cell foam resists moisture intrusion, which makes it well-suited for patio and pool deck applications where the surrounding area is regularly exposed to water. During your estimate, we can explain how the material performs in your specific setting.
We work in sections, so we only need access to the area that's actually settled. Furniture, planters, and grill setups just need to be moved off the affected sections before we arrive. We stay away from your landscaping, and our equipment doesn't require heavy machinery to roll across your yard.
