Map the adjoining features
Show the pool shell or coping, enclosure posts, door thresholds, drains, deck joints, walls, and landscaping that meet the affected slab. Do not represent a pool-shell or structural concern as a simple leveling request.
Record water movement
Photograph where water begins, travels, and collects after normal rain if it is safe to do so. Drainage observations are context; they do not prove why a slab moved.
Separate finishes and repairs
Coatings, pavers, tile, textured finishes, sealants, cracks, and joints may change access or need separate work. Ask how the proposal protects adjacent surfaces and what visible changes may remain.
Common questions
Questions worth asking
Can leveling correct pool-deck drainage?
Sometimes elevation is one factor, but drainage can involve multiple surfaces and systems. A site-specific evaluation should explain the intended water path and limitations.
Does this form cover pool-shell repair?
No. The matching form is for existing slab evaluation. Describe any pool-shell, coping, enclosure, or structural concern so it can be screened rather than assumed to be slab work.
