What is Concrete Step Repair?

Concrete step repair is a specialized process for restoring and improving the structural integrity of exterior steps. This technique involves lifting and stabilizing steps to a level position.

Traditional repair methods, such as mudjacking, re-pouring, or complete replacement, are not long-term solutions. These approaches don’t address the root cause of damage and can lead to recurring issues. 

Modern concrete repair methods, like polyurethane concrete lifting foam, are more durable and last longer. Tar Heel Basement Systems uses the exclusive PolyRenewal™ system to lift concrete steps, restoring their long-term safety. 

Signs Your Exterior Concrete Steps Need Repair 

Recognizing when concrete steps require repair is crucial to prevent safety hazards and more extensive damage to your home.

Common problem signs include:

  • Concrete cracks: Cracks begin small and expand over time, indicating structural problems. 
  • Uneven, tilting, or sloping steps: Unlevel or height variations, tilting, or sloping indicate settlement, instability, and potential foundation issues.
  • Sinking steps and poor exterior drainage: Soil settlement, erosion, water pooling, and poor drainage cause sinking steps and further concrete deterioration.
  • Steps separating from the foundation: When steps pull away from the foundation, it signals underlying structural problems.
  • Pits, flakes, or stains: Surface imperfections indicate the need for repair and may worsen if unaddressed. 
  • Crumbling edges and corners: Deteriorating edges and corners weaken structural integrity.

Recognizing the early warning signs of concrete step damage saves time, money, and potential safety risks. Contact a concrete repair expert like Tar Heel Basement Systems when you observe these signs. Our North Carolina team will assess the damage and recommend repair solutions to restore the safety of your home’s concrete steps.

How Concrete Step Repair Works 

Tar Heel Basement Systems follows this process to complete concrete step repair: 

PolyRenewal foam concrete lifting
  • We begin by locating the source of concrete vulnerability.
  • We drill small holes in strategic locations on the damaged concrete.
  • High-density polyurethane foam is injected into these holes.
  • The foam expands beneath the step, filling voids and lifting the concrete to a level position.
  • The drilled holes are filled and smoothed, leaving no trace of repair work.

The Tar Heel Basement Systems crew professionally executes the repair process, delivering long-lasting results and enhancing your home’s safety and value.

Concrete Lifting FAQs

Polyurethane concrete lifting offers a permanent fix for sunken concrete. This repair method fills voids and eliminates trip hazards around your home. Consider it an investment in a stable and worry-free surface for your Wilmington residence. 

Concrete lifting offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to complete slab replacement. This repair method permanently lifts and stabilizes concrete surfaces, ensuring enhanced safety, durability, and increased property value for your Wilmington, NC home. 

The answer depends on how severe the cracks are. If they are minor cracks, lifting the concrete can help reduce their appearance.  

Plus, the concrete can even be lifted enough to eliminate a minor crack or cracks. However, if the crack is too severe, then the only way to fix it would be to completely replace the concrete.
