Concrete Step Repair & Leveling

Concrete Step Repair Solutions

Front stoops and concrete steps often sink and settle over time. Concrete is heavy, and when the soil supporting it becomes weak, it can crack and sink. Extreme weather, wear and tear and exposure to the elements can cause additional damage, such as cracking, flaking, pitting or crumbling.

Front Steps pulled away from house

Regardless of what’s caused your concrete steps to sink, settle or crack, we can fix it. At Thrasher, we offer a comprehensive concrete protection system. After lifting and leveling your concrete with PolyLevel®, we use NexusPro™ to fill and seal cracks and control joints. Then we apply SealantPro™, which permanently bonds with the concrete and protects it from moisture, chemical elements and seasonal changes. For concrete steps with greater damage, such as flaking, pitting or crumbling concrete, we use ResurfacePro™ to give your front step a brand-new look and restore functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Thrasher resurface damaged concrete steps?

Small and mid-size cracks in your concrete steps can be filled and sealed after lifting and leveling the driveway with PolyLevel. For concrete steps with greater damage – including flaking, pitting or crumbling concrete – we use ResurfacePro to give a brand-new look and restore functionality. The ResurfacePro system coats broken and unsightly concrete steps with a durable layer of polymer cement, giving it a brand-new look and restoring its function.
How long does it take to repair or level concrete steps?

Most concrete step leveling and repair projects take our crews a single day to complete, and Polylevel cures quickly, allowing your concrete to be used normally just 15 minutes after installation. Alternate solutions like mudjacking or concrete replacement often require more time and disruption, as well as longer cure times which could mean parking on the street and avoiding your garage for several days.
What kinds of concrete step damage can be repaired?

Front stoops and concrete steps often sink and settle over time. Extreme weather and wear and tear can cause additional damage, such as cracking, flaking, pitting or crumbling. All of this can be repaired with our suite of concrete repair products. For sinking concrete steps with small and mid-size cracks, we use NexusPro to fill and seal cracks after lifting and leveling the concrete steps with PolyLevel. For concrete steps with greater damage, such as flaking, pitting or crumbling concrete, we use ResurfacePro to give a brand-new look and restore functionality.
How do you repair cracks in concrete stairs?

After lifting and leveling your concrete stairs with PolyLevel, our crews fill and seal any cracks or joints. This prevents water infiltration through cracks and joints, which in turn helps prevent the soil below your concrete stairs from softening and eroding over time. We use a high quality, silicone-based sealant called NexusPro. It’s specially engineered to stand up to harsh weather conditions, and unlike traditional urethane sealants, it is UV-resistant to prevent drying, cracking, bubbling or yellowing.
How does PolyLevel® work to level sinking or leaning concrete stairs?

Polylevel polyurethane foam is pumped beneath concrete stairs through tiny ports about the size of a penny. Initially, Polylevel flows like water, filling even the smallest cracks and crevices in the soil. It quickly expands and hardens, lifting the concrete slabs above it and compressing the soil around it at the same time. Polylevel is waterproof, so it will never wash out, and it won’t degrade over time due to temperature extremes. It’s environmentally friendly, too, with no environmentally harmful chemical leaching. Best of all, Polylevel cures quickly, allowing your concrete to be used normally the same day.
How much does it cost to repair concrete steps?

There are several factors that influence the cost for concrete step repair, including the extent of the damage and the method of repair. When we visit your home for the first time, you can expect a thorough inspection and a thorough explanation of the solution we propose to repair your concrete steps and why.
