Concrete Step Repair

What is Concrete Step Repair? 

Concrete step restoration is the process of repairing, stabilizing, and restoring outdoor concrete steps that have been damaged, sunk, or cracked. Traditional methods like complete replacement and mudjacking don’t address the underlying problem, so they’re not as effective. Modern methods like polyurethane foam injection are a better alternative.  

At BQ Basements & Concrete, we use our exclusive SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ system to ensure that your steps are durable and safe. This concrete lifting technique is a key part of our comprehensive whole-home solution, which reinforces your home from the ground up.  

Depending on the severity of the damage and its impact on your foundation, we may recommend adding foundation piers to the restoration process. Concrete step repair is essential for your home’s safety. 

Signs Your Exterior Concrete Steps Need Repair 

Addressing concrete step damage promptly is crucial to prevent further deterioration. Indicators signaling the need for repair include: 

• Visible cracks on the steps 
• Uneven step levels 
• Steps leaning or slanting 
• Sinking steps
• Steps detaching from the foundation 
• Settling, sinking porch
• Audible hollow sounds under the steps 
• Poor drainage 
• Worn-out edges or corners 
• Concrete pitting, flaking, or staining

Identifying and addressing concrete damage early prevents costly future repairs. 

Is Concrete Step Repair Necessary? 

By taking proactive steps to repair your concrete steps, you improve safety, expand your repair options, and potentially save money. Quick action is key to ensuring the security and longevity of your outdoor steps. 

When choosing concrete repair methods, such as repouring or using DIY solutions from major retailers, it is essential to be discerning. These quick fixes often fail to address the underlying problem, resulting in temporary solutions and further damage. 

Timely concrete step restoration is aligned with BQ Basements & Concrete’s comprehensive strategy to preserve your property’s structural integrity and value. Our experts will carefully assess the extent of the damage and restore your concrete steps using innovative methods that promise long-lasting, reliable results.
