Concrete Step Repair
If your concrete steps are cracked or sunken, that’s a problem. Thankfully, it’s a problem you can fix—and Indiana Foundation Service can help.
Since 1993, we’ve been helping homeowners in our Indiana service area with a durable and eco-friendly concrete lifting solution. Read on to see how our repair process works and why it lasts.
What is Concrete Step Repair?
Concrete step repair involves lifting, stabilizing, and restoring damaged, sinking, or cracked exterior concrete steps. Unfortunately, outdated repairs, such as mudjacking, or concrete replacement, fail to address the root of the problem.
Modern concrete lifting solutions, like polyurethane foam injections, are the better way to go. Indiana Foundation Service installs the PolyRenewal™ system, providing longevity and safety to your concrete steps.
Signs You need Concrete Step Repair
It is crucial to address any damage to your concrete steps early to prevent further deterioration. Here are some signs that indicate your stairs may need repair:
- Visible cracks on the steps
- Uneven step levels
- Steps that are tilting or sloping
- Steps sinking into the ground
- Sinking porch
- Steps separating from your foundation
- Pooling water or drainage issues
- Crumbling edges or corners
- Pits, flakes, or stains on the concrete
Recognizing these early signs of concrete damage can help you save time and money. When you notice these symptoms, we recommend contacting a professional concrete repair service, such as Indiana Foundation Service.
Is Concrete Step Repair Necessary?
Neglecting damaged concrete step repair compromises safety, limits repair options, and increases future repair costs. Taking quick action prevents further damage and ensures safety and longevity.
Beware of temporary solutions like repouring, mudjacking, or options from big-box stores. These quick fixes do not address the underlying issue.
Regarding home maintenance, timely concrete step repair is essential to Indiana Foundation Service’s comprehensive whole-home solution, preserving your property’s integrity and value. Our experts will assess the damage and restore your steps promptly.

FAQs
Exterior concrete steps can experience damage, such as cracking and sinking, for various reasons. Most of these issues are caused by factors related to the soil on your property, including soil settling and erosion, oversaturation, freeze-thaw cycles, and shifting from growing tree roots. At Indiana Foundation Service, we offer a free inspection to determine the cause of your concrete step damage and provide the best repair solution.
The cost of repairing concrete steps varies depending on the extent of the damage and the necessary repairs. For instance, the price of concrete lifting with polyurethane injections may differ from pier installation for foundation-related problems. Feel free to contact Indiana Foundation Service for an accurate cost breakdown and information about financing options.
The duration of the PolyRenewal™ process for concrete step repair depends on the area that requires repair and the extent of the damage. In general, the process of injecting PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam under the concrete can be completed within a day. The foam typically takes around 15 minutes to cure, much quicker than mudjacking or repouring methods that require several days to restore full functionality. Contact us to schedule a free inspection and estimate.
*Disclaimer: “Concrete leveling” means the process by which cracked, uneven concrete is stabilized, and in many cases lifted, by means of PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam. Indiana Foundation Service does not guarantee that PolyRenewal™ can make your concrete perfectly level.
