What are sinking steps

Concrete steps and stoops rely on stable, properly compacted soil for support. When the ground beneath them settles, erodes, or loses strength, the concrete can begin to sink and separate from the home.

Homeowners commonly notice gaps forming between the stoop and foundation, uneven step heights, cracking, or portions of the structure settling lower than surrounding surfaces. Understanding what caused the movement is essential when determining the most effective repair solution.

What Causes Steps & Stoops to Sink?

Soil Settlement

Over time, the soil beneath a stoop or staircase can naturally compact and settle, causing the structure above to lose support.

Soil Erosion

Water can wash away supporting material beneath the steps, creating voids that allow the concrete to sink.

Poor Compaction

Improperly compacted fill material during construction can compress over time and lead to settlement.

Drainage Problems

Excess water around the stoop can weaken supporting soils and contribute to settlement and movement.

Voids Beneath the Structure

Empty spaces beneath the concrete can develop due to erosion or soil movement, leaving portions of the stoop unsupported.

How Do We Repair Sunken Steps & Stoops?

Repairing sunken steps and stoops begins with addressing the loss of support beneath the structure. In many cases, the concrete can be lifted and stabilized without the expense and disruption of complete replacement.

Concrete Lifting & Leveling

By the process of injecting polyurethane, expanding foam underneath the stoop through small half inch holes on the surface, we can help lift the sunken steps back to place.

Void Filling

Using geothermal, expanding foam voids underneath concrete can be filled to restore structural integrity or prevent settling

Soil Stabilization

Non-stable soils can be resolved without full concrete replacement using geothermal foam injection.

Step & Stoop Raising

Concrete steps that settle can be lifted back to their original position for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Drainage Improvements

Water washing out soils beneath your steps are the most common reason for settling steps we install professional drainage systems to divert water away to fix the root problem the first time.
