Summer is approaching, and with it the return of swimming, BBQs and afternoons in the sun. But to make the most of your backyard, you need a safe installation – especially if you have a pool. And just in case, you have until September 30, 2025<\/strong> to bring your residential pool up to the safety standards required by the Quebec Government Regulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

At DuraLift<\/strong>, this news gives us the opportunity to remind you of one essential thing: before installing a fence or making any modifications to your pool, make sure your concrete slabs are straight, stable and level<\/strong>. That’s where our concrete straightening<\/strong> expertise comes in. <\/p>\n\n

A law that puts safety first<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

According to the Quebec government<\/strong><\/a> website<\/strong>, all pools containing 60 cm or more of water (in-ground, above-ground or even demountable) must comply with current safety standards. Mandatory fencing, safety gates, distance from filtration equipment – nothing must be left to chance to prevent the risk of drowning. <\/p>\n\n

What many people don’t realize is that the condition of the concrete slabs<\/strong> around the pool plays a crucial role in this compliance. A sagging, cracked or sloping slab can not only compromise the stability of a fence, but also become a hazard to users. Installing a fence on a sloping or unstable slab is like building on sand. <\/p>\n\n

Concrete straightening: the step not to be neglected before your work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Before you embark on the installation or upgrading process, have the surfaces around your pool inspected<\/strong>. At DuraLift<\/a>, we’re experts in concrete straightening<\/strong>, and we move quickly to level<\/strong> sidewalk slabs, platforms, driveways and, of course, areas around pools. <\/p>\n\n

How do we do it? High-performance geotechnical foam injection<\/strong>. This innovative process enables us to lift concrete precisely, without demolition, dust or fuss. Best of all, our foam is hydrophobic<\/strong>: it won’t dissolve in contact with water. Perfect for wet environments like swimming pools! <\/p>\n\n
