If you notice your concrete stairs becoming unlevel, you should contact professionals immediately. This homeowner in Pittsgrove, New Jersey noticed their concrete stairs were sinking. This happens because concrete is poured over poorly compacted soil, which settles over time and creates voids underneath.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our customer service representative matched them with our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe. Chris provided an inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift the concrete stairs.

Our foreman, Sean Johnson, arrived at the job site and began the process of using the PolyLevel Injection System. This is completed by drilling tiny holes into the slab and injecting the foam to fill the voids underneath. This process can be safe to walk on within fifteen minutes and requires minimal disruption to the concrete.

When the job was complete, the stairs were lifted to a level position and the homeowner was happy with the outcome.
