Concrete Step Repair
The SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ system, available from Groundworks, can safely lift and level cracked and sinking concrete steps.
Schedule Inspectation
Cracked and sinking concrete steps are more than a cosmetic issue or tripping hazard. The real issue is the soil underneath your steps, which can settle, erode, or shrink over time and threaten your home’s structural stability.
We recommend our SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections, which compress soil and lift and level your steps. Learn more about this concrete lifting technique below.
What Is Concrete Step Repair?
Poor compaction, overdrying, and inadequate drainage can cause the soil beneath your concrete to move, resulting in cracks and drops. Concrete step repair solves this issue by raising, stabilizing, and repairing the steps outside your Edmonton home.
Mudjacking and other outdated repair methods won’t provide the long-lasting results you deserve. So, consider PolyRenewal™, a concrete lifting technique that ensures the durability and security of your steps. This commercial-grade expanding polyurethane foam can lift settled sections of concrete and seal and remove visible cracks, making it more effective than filling cracks with caulk. PolyRenewal™ is also eco-friendly and cures in as little as 15 minutes.
We might also suggest foundation piers if your home’s structural components are at risk.

Concrete Step Repair FAQs
It depends on the size of the cracks and the number of steps. However, we could repair damaged concrete in as little as one day. PolyRenewal™ itself can take just 15 minutes to cure.
The problem might get worse. When cracks widen, they pose a significant trip hazard and can cause damage to your foundation, incurring expensive repairs. We recommend addressing this issue immediately, especially if cracks are wider than ¼”.
A team member will examine your concrete steps, identify the root cause of cracks and sinking, and suggest the best concrete lifting technique based on your property’s needs. We’ll also provide a price estimate.
