Why do slabs sink in Southeast Gilbert?

Southeast Gilbert has more green grass and water features than most of the East Valley. That is great for shade and views. It is hard on the soil under concrete.

• Turf and lake communities. Power Ranch and Layton Lakes have lakes, and many yards have lawns. A 2009 ASCE study of Phoenix-area homes on expansive clay found that site drainage was extremely important to how slabs and foundations held up, whether yards were turf or desert.
• Golf course overspray. Homes along the fairways in Seville get extra water from course sprinklers. Patios and walkways on that side see the most movement.
• Former farmland. Much of south Gilbert was irrigated fields before it was homes. Clay soils there can swell when wet and shrink in the summer heat.
• Monsoon storms. Short, heavy storms from June 15 to September 30 dump water along slab edges faster than it can drain away.

Why are pool decks a common problem in Gilbert?

Many Southeast Gilbert back yards have a pool. The soil dug out for the pool shell is pushed back around it when the pool is built. That backfill settles over time, and the deck on top of it drops away from the coping. You see a gap at the pool edge, cracks in the cool-deck, or water that pools in low spots.

Foam lifting raises the deck back toward the coping through small holes. See pool deck leveling for how the crew works around pool plumbing.

What about HOA trip hazard letters in Gilbert?

Most of these communities have an HOA, and Seville and Trilogy also have club rules. A sunken walkway panel with a lip can trigger a notice. Federal ADA standards use 1/4 inch as the point where a change in level needs attention on accessible routes, and many HOAs use a similar rule of thumb. Check your community rules for the deadline. See sidewalk trip hazard repair.
