Concrete Step Repair
Sunken or damaged concrete steps aren’t just an eyesore. While common, this issue can compromise the safety of your home. However, thanks to our innovative concrete lifting process, a robust and sustainable solution is at hand.
At Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, we have the expertise to bring your concrete steps back to their prime condition, all with minimal disruption to your daily life and property. Our specialized concrete leveling solution—PolyRenewal™—provides a fast and effective fix for your step issues.
What is Concrete Step Repair?
Concrete step repair involves lifting, stabilizing, and restoring damaged, sinking, or cracked outdoor steps.
While traditional repair methods like mudjacking and concrete repouring or replacement provide temporary fixes, they often don’t tackle the root of the problem.
Modern alternatives such as concrete leveling with polyurethane foam injections are preferred. Foundation Repair of Western Colorado employs the exclusive PolyRenewal™ system that ensures the durability and safety of your steps. The process is integral to a comprehensive home maintenance solution, anchoring your home from the base up.
In some severe cases where extra support is required, foundation piers might be utilized during the repair, depending on the severity of the damage and its connection to your home’s foundation.
Signs Your Exterior Concrete Steps Require Repair
Promptly addressing signs of step damage can prevent escalation. Be on the lookout for these symptoms:
- Visible concrete cracks on the steps
- Uneven step levels
- Steps tilting or sloping
- Steps sinking into the ground
- Steps detaching from your foundation
- Sinking porch
- Hollow sounds beneath the steps
- Pooling water or drainage complications
- Eroded edges or corners
- Pits, flakes, or stains on the concrete
Soil conditions like heavy freeze-thaw cycles are one of the most common causes of concrete step damage in Colorado communities like Aspen, Montrose, or Carbondale, where the winter weather can be unpredictable. Seek professional assistance from a concrete repair specialist like Foundation Repair of Western Colorado if you see any of these signs.
Is Concrete Step Repair Necessary?
Disregarding damaged concrete step repair can lead to safety concerns, limited repair alternatives, and escalated future costs. Proactive measures can stop further deterioration, ensuring the safety and longevity of your steps.
Beware of short-term solutions like repouring, mudjacking, or big-box store offerings, as they typically fail to address the underlying issue.
Timely concrete step repair is a vital element of Foundation Repair of Western Colorado’s holistic home maintenance strategy, preserving your property’s integrity and value. Our skilled professionals will assess the full extent of the damage and promptly restore your steps.

Once injected, the foam takes about 15 minutes to harden, in contrast to the several days required for mudjacking or repouring to restore full functionality. Schedule a free inspection with us for a detailed quote and timeline.
The cost is contingent on the extent of damage and the necessary repairs. The price for concrete leveling with polyurethane injections differs from that of pier installation for foundation-related issues.
