Uneven concrete steps create trip hazards and make entryways unsafe. As steps settle, the rise between them changes and edges shift out of alignment, increasing the risk of falls and surface damage.
We quickly raise sunken steps back into position without removing or replacing them. Foamjection uses eco-friendly polyurethane concrete lifting to restore support beneath the steps and improve safety and stability at your entryway.
Concrete steps sink when the soil beneath them loses support. Common causes include:
As support weakens, steps settle unevenly and become unsafe to use.
You may need steps leveling if you notice:
Fixing these issues early helps prevent falls and further concrete movement.
If nearby surfaces have also settled, walkway & sidewalk leveling, porch leveling, or driveway leveling may be needed to restore consistent height and support across connected concrete areas. Addressing all affected slabs together helps reduce future settling.
Foamjection levels concrete steps by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the steps. The foam expands to fill voids, lift the concrete, and restore firm support below the surface.
Most steps leveling projects are completed in one visit, and many surfaces are ready for use the same day.
Homeowners choose steps leveling because it removes safety risks without the cost and disruption of replacement. Lifting restores even step height, improves stability, and helps protect nearby concrete surfaces.
For steps that are intact but uneven, leveling is often the most practical solution.
Concrete steps often become uneven due to soil movement beneath the steps. Common causes include soil erosion from water runoff, poor drainage, settling or poorly compacted fill, and natural ground movement over time.
In colder climates, freeze-thaw cycles can also cause the soil to expand and contract, leading to shifting or sinking steps. As the ground below loses support, the concrete can settle at different rates and create uneven or tilted steps.
Yes. Step leveling is often a better option than replacing concrete steps when the steps are still structurally sound.
Leveling lifts and stabilizes the existing steps without tear-out or demolition, which keeps costs lower and minimizes disruption.
Replacement is usually only necessary when steps are severely cracked, broken, or failing structurally. For sunken or uneven steps, leveling is typically the more practical and cost-effective solution.
Most projects are completed in a a few hours. No mess. No trucks in your yard. No disruption.
Yes. Leveling restores even step height, which helps eliminate trip hazards and creates a safer, more stable walking surface. By lifting settled steps back into alignment, leveling reduces uneven edges that can cause falls.
The repair holes are small—typically about 5/8 inch in diameter—and are patched after the leveling process is complete. They are far less noticeable than the seams, joints, or surface changes that come with full concrete replacement.
While the patches may be visible up close, they blend into the surrounding concrete and do not affect the strength, safety, or use of the steps.
Yes. Step leveling helps reduce future movement by restoring support beneath the steps. Lifting fills voids under the concrete and stabilizes the soil below, which helps limit additional settling.
Maintaining proper drainage around the steps also plays an important role in preventing future movement by reducing water-related soil erosion.
Yes. The foam is safe to use around your home. It is installed below the concrete and cures into a stable material that does not harm nearby structures, soil, or landscaping.
Once cured, the foam stays in place, does not leach into the ground, and provides long-term support beneath the concrete without affecting surrounding areas.
