Concrete step repair is a specialized process that lifts, restores, and levels damaged, sinking, or uneven exterior concrete steps. Today’s modernized concrete step repair methods utilize advanced techniques like eco-friendly polyurethane foam injections.

Mount Valley Foundation Systems uses a unique concrete lifting system that restores your steps, ensuring longevity and safety.

• Visible cracks: Cracks begin small and expand over time, indicating structural issues. 
• Uneven steps: Unlevel steps and height variations indicate settlement and instability. 
• Tilting or sloping steps: Tilting or sloping in one direction indicates potential foundation issues. 
• Sinking steps: Sunken steps compromise safety and suggest soil settlement or erosion.
• Separation from the foundation: Step separation signals underlying structural issues.

• Sinking porch: A sunken porch often results from soil issues. 
• Hollow sounds beneath the steps: These sounds may indicate voids or spaces beneath the concrete. 
• Pooling water or drainage issues: Water pooling and poor drainage lead to further deterioration and sinking. 
• Crumbling edges and corners: Deteriorating edges and corners weaken the step’s structural integrity.
• Pits, flakes, or stains on the concrete: Surface imperfections may indicate the need for repair and contribute to further damage if left unaddressed.
