Schedule Inspection
A cracked, sinking concrete porch is a bigger problem than you might think. Aside from being unattractive, it can be a dangerous trip hazard, especially if you have older adults living in or visiting your home. If you ignore this issue for too long, water can seep through concrete cracks, affecting the soil underneath and threatening your home’s foundation.
So, what can you do? Replacing your porch is invasive and expensive, and mudjacking and other repair methods won’t solve the underlying issue of damaged concrete. You deserve a solution that addresses both the problem signs and the root cause of your worn-out porch.
Groundworks’ SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ does just that. It can lift and level your porch, remove cracks, and prevent future deterioration. Plus, it cures in just 15 minutes. Learn more below.
What Is Concrete Porch Repair?
This process involves fixing damaged, cracked, or settled concrete sections of your porch. As a result, you can reduce trip hazards, safeguard your foundation, and preserve your property’s visual appeal.
While other concrete repair methods are temporary, PolyRenewal™ provides a long-lasting solution that gently lifts and strengthens the soil beneath your porch. This high-density, environmentally friendly polyurethane foam is more than a quick fix. Instead, it tackles the issues contributing to your concrete problem, such as soil instability, expansive tree roots, and freeze-thaw cycles. We can inject PolyRenewal™ into your concrete slabs to restore your porch to its original condition.
If your cracked, uneven porch is part of a bigger structural problem, foundation repair methods such as foundation piers can resolve this issue.
Signs You Need Concrete Porch Repair
You might require repair services if you observe any of these problems on your porch:
- Visible cracks
- Pitting, flaking, or discoloration on concrete
- Gaps between your porch and your main property
- Unstable, sinking steps
- Tilting porch posts or railings
- Similar damage on driveways, sideways, patios, pool decks, and other surfaces
Is Concrete Porch Repair Required?
The condition of your porch affects your home’s entire structure, so taking care of it now can avoid further damage and more expensive bills in the future.
While store-bought sealants and other DIY methods might provide temporary relief, they won’t fix the cause of your damaged porch. So, consider a comprehensive home repair solution that goes beyond makeshift repairs.

Concrete Porch Repair FAQs
We inject this commercial-grade polyurethane foam into drilled holes in your porch’s concrete slabs. Doing so compresses the soil, fills cracks, and potentially lifts and levels your porch. The curing process takes about 15 minutes, meaning you can use your porch soon after we repair it.
PolyRenewal™ is suitable for other concrete surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, patios, and steps. We can tell you about its many uses during our free home inspection.
Annual check-ups increase the longevity of your porch and prevent future issues. Our team can inspect your concrete porch once a year and make any necessary adjustments, preventing minor problems from getting worse.
