The Danger of Settling Steps

Concrete steps that have settled away from your porch create one of the most dangerous situations around your home. That gap between your steps and porch is a fall waiting to happen, especially in wet or icy conditions.

Common signs your steps need leveling:

• Visible gap between top step and porch
• Steps tilting forward or to one side
• Water pooling on step treads
• Cracking at the connection points
• Difficulty closing storm door

Why Concrete Steps Settle

Steps often settle faster than other concrete because:

• Poor compaction during original construction
• Backfill settlement after foundation work
• Water erosion beneath the step pad
• Buffalo’s freeze-thaw cycles expanding voids

The problem typically worsens each year as water penetrates the gap and accelerates soil erosion beneath the steps.

Our Step Leveling Process

Our limestone slurry method is particularly effective for steps:

1. We drill small holes through the step treads
2. Limestone slurry is injected beneath the steps
3. The steps lift back into contact with the porch
4. We verify proper alignment and seal all holes

Safer Than Replacement

Replacing concrete steps requires:

• Demolition of existing steps
• New footer installation
• Form building and concrete pouring
• Extended curing time

Our leveling process is completed in hours, costs 70% less, and your steps are safe to use the same day.
