Concrete Step Repair

Sinking and cracked concrete steps jeopardize your home’s curb appeal, safety, and structural integrity, so you should take action now to avoid expensive repairs in the future. Unfortunately, mudjacking and other traditional repair methods are only temporary fixes and don’t tackle the root cause of your problem—unstable soil.

We recommend a more comprehensive concrete lifting solution that stabilizes soil and gently raises your exterior steps to their original position.

PolyRenewal™, available from Matvey Foundation Repair, does just that.

What Is Concrete Step Repair?

Fixing concrete steps involves sealing cracks, lifting slabs, and restoring these structures to their previous condition.

Polyurethane foam injections like PolyRenewal™ are the best way to repair concrete steps because they tackle the underlying soil problem causing damage. Our custom-engineered solution cures in just 15 minutes and releases no harsh chemicals into your soil or the surrounding ecosystem.

If you also have foundation issues, we might use foundation piers to stabilize your home.

Signs Your Concrete Steps Need Repair

Contact a concrete lifting professional like Matvey Foundation Repair if you experience any of these problems:

• Cracked steps
• Sinking steps
• Leaning or shifting steps
• Steps descending into the soil
• Steps detaching from your foundation
• Echoing sounds coming from your steps
• Water accumulation or drainage problems
• Eroding edges or corners
• A sinking porch
• Concrete pitting, flaking, or staining

Is Concrete Step Repair Necessary?

Yes. Delaying repairs can jeopardize your home’s framework, resulting in more expensive bills. Sinking steps are also a trip hazard that risks your family’s safety.

Instead of quick fixes, invest in a concrete lifting solution that protects your property for years to come. We can inject our PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam into the soil under your steps, preventing them from sinking again.
