Stair & Stoop Problems

Warning Signs of Foundation Failure

Over time, stairs and stoops around your home can develop a number of issues, many of which may indicate deeper foundation problems. Common signs include:

  • Cracks in the concrete
  • Separation of the stoop from the home
  • Sinking or uneven stairs

These issues don’t just impact curb appeal—they can also pose serious safety hazards and decrease your property value.

Stair & Stoop Repair Solutions

If you’re noticing problems with your stairs or stoop, don’t ignore them. The best approach is to have the foundation inspected and determine whether repairs are needed.

Common Repair Methods:

Helical Piers or Steel Push Piers

Installed under the stoop or stairs to lift and stabilize the structure.

Polyurethane Foam Injection

In some cases, sinking steps can be raised and leveled by injecting high-density foam underneath.

Crack Repair & Resurfacing

For minor cosmetic damage when no underlying settlement is present.

Why Are My Stairs or Stoop Sinking?

Most stair and stoop issues are caused by settling or shifting soil beneath the structure. Water intrusion, poor compaction during construction, or expansive soil conditions can all lead to uneven support. When the soil beneath can no longer bear the weight, the stoop or steps begin to sink, crack, or tilt.

This movement often points to underlying foundation failure, especially when seen alongside these symptoms:

  • Sloping or uneven floors
  • Windows and doors that stick or don’t close properly
  • Bowing or leaning walls
  • Cracks in floors and walls
  • Sagging ceilings
