Concrete Step Leveling
Do you have concrete steps outside or inside your home? Damaged concrete steps can be more than unsightly. They can cause serious safety issues for anyone using the steps. If left unaddressed, the separation and cracking in the steps can make them unusable. If someone trips on uneven concrete flooring, there is a risk of injury, but if someone trips on concrete steps, the consequences can be much more severe.
Therefore, it’s essential to address any cracking or shifting of your concrete steps as soon as you notice them before the problem becomes severe enough to require total replacement.
Concrete Step Leveling: A Safe and Affordable Solution
Concrete step leveling addresses unsafe dips, slopes, cracks, and uneven steps. This process utilizes mud jacking, a technique that injects a slurry of limestone and water beneath the concrete steps.
The Mud Jacking Process for Concrete Step Repair
With mud jacking, a slurry of limestone and water will be pressure injected underneath the surface of the concrete steps, which will raise the sinking spots to the correct level and fill in any voids and air pockets beneath the concrete slabs. The professionals at Level Pro Solutions do this by drilling small holes in several selected spots and then feeding the slurry into those holes to raise them to the right level. As the material fills the voids, the sunken area will rise to the correct level, and the cracks and separations will come together, fixing concrete steps and making them safe. After the step leveling is completed and checked, our team will patch the holes used for the injection points to keep the steps looking smooth. The slurry will harden to support the slab, and you can safely use your concrete steps for many more years.
Benefits of Concrete Step Repair with Leveling
Mud jacking concrete steps offers several advantages over complete replacement. This method is often:
- Faster: Mud jacking can be completed more quickly than a full replacement.
- More Economical: Depending on the extent of the damage, mud jacking is typically a more affordable solution than replacing the entire steps.
- Effective: Mud jacking effectively repairs uneven steps, cracks, and dips, restoring their stability and safety.
