Why Porch Concrete Sinks

Porch slabs can settle when the ground underneath can no longer support the weight of the concrete. Once the soil shifts or washes away, the slab may begin to drop, tilt, or crack.

Common reasons porch concrete sinks include:

  • Soil settlement under the porch slab
  • Poor soil compaction during construction
  • Water washing soil away near the home
  • Freeze-thaw cycles during Upstate New York winters
  • Poor drainage around the porch
  • Voids forming under the concrete
  • Heavy concrete resting on weak or loose soil
  • Downspouts draining too close to the porch

A sinking porch may also affect nearby concrete areas. If your porch problem connects to uneven stairs, visit our steps leveling page. If the walkway leading to your porch is uneven too, our walkway and sidewalk leveling service may also help.

    I cannot recommend Jim Denney and The Concrete Team highly enough! I’ve known Jim for many years, and as a Realtor, I’ve confidently referred him to my clients and I know he will exceeded expectations. Jim’s knowledge, experience, and workmanship are truly second to none. The quality of his work is exceptional, but what really sets him apart is the way he treats people. Home repairs, especially foundation or concrete issues can be overwhelming and emotional for homeowners. Jim has a remarkable ability to communicate clearly, explain complex issues in a way that’s easy to understand, and put people at ease. He never pressures anyone and always takes the time to help homeowners feel informed and confident about their decisions. Jim and his partner, Mike, are also two of the most honest, ethical people you’ll ever meet. Their integrity is unwavering, and they genuinely care about doing what’s right for their clients, not just getting the job done. In an industry where trust means everything, The Concrete Team stands in a class of its own. I give them my absolute highest recommendation and will continue referring them with complete confidence. They are simply the best.

    Three years ago, I contacted The Concrete Team about some settling issues with my stamped concrete pool patio that had created a trip hazard in several high-traffic areas. They came out, evaluated the problem, and provided an estimate, but I never moved forward with the work at that time. After this past winter, the settling became noticeably worse. With a graduation party approaching, I wanted to get the issue fixed before guests arrived and risked tripping or falling. I called The Concrete Team expecting the price to have increased after three years, but to my surprise, they honored the original estimate and were able to fit me into their schedule on short notice. Their crew did an outstanding job. They were professional, efficient, and restored the patio for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. The finished product looks great, and most importantly, the trip hazards are gone. As a real estate agent, I’m always looking for trustworthy contractors to recommend to my clients, and The Concrete Team has absolutely earned my recommendation. If you have settled or uneven concrete, don’t wait—give them a call. You’ll be glad you did.

    I had a fantastic experience with the concrete team! They did an amazing job mud jacking my front walkway. The pricing was very reasonable, they showed up on time, and the work was completed quickly and efficiently. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and the results came out great. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price!"

    Jim and Mike did an absolutely outstanding job on our front sidewalk and the garage floor entrance. They had to drill holes in our front sidewalk and then pressure install concrete underneath to raise them back up to the correct level. Not an easy task. But this was done exceptionally well. Then they applied an epoxy surfacer to even out all the salt erosion that had been happening. After this a sand surfacing was applied to the epoxy [white] to give the sidewalk the proper appearance - now tan. A truly exceptional job. Pete and Susie, Cohoes, NY

    Signs You May Need Porch Leveling

    Porch settlement often gets worse over time. Small gaps, cracks, or uneven areas can turn into bigger safety and drainage problems if they are ignored.

    You may need porch leveling if you notice:

    • Your porch slab is sinking on one side
    • The porch is sloping toward or away from the home
    • Gaps between the porch and foundation
    • Cracks in the porch slab
    • Uneven concrete near the front entry
    • Water pooling on or near the porch
    • Steps no longer line up with the porch
    • The walkway and porch meet at different heights
    • A hollow sound under the porch slab
    • Trip hazards near the entryway

    If you are not sure why the concrete is moving, our Why Concrete Sinks page explains the common causes.

    Our Porch Leveling Process

    The Concrete Team specializes in mudjacking, also called slabjacking. We look at the porch, the surrounding concrete,
    the soil conditions, and the amount of settlement before recommending the right repair.

    Top Concrete Leveling Contractor Near Me

    Step 1: Inspect the Porch

    We check the slope, cracks, gaps, and nearby areas like steps, walkways, and the foundation. We also look for drainage issues that may be causing soil washout.

    Step 2: Lift and Stabilize the Concrete

    Depending on the project, we use mudjacking, also called slabjacking, to raise the porch slab and fill empty space underneath. The goal is to bring the concrete back toward a safer and more usable position.

    Step 3: Patch and Clean Up

    After the porch is lifted, we patch the drilled holes and clean the work area. If cracks, joints, or drainage issues need attention, we can explain the next best step.

    You can learn more about how lifting works on our concrete leveling process page.

    Benefits of Porch Leveling

    Porch leveling can be a smart repair when the concrete is still in good enough condition to save. Instead of removing and replacing the porch slab, lifting helps restore the concrete you already have.

    Benefits include:

    • Helps reduce trip hazards near your entryway
    • Helps make the porch safer for family, guests, and delivery drivers
    • Can cost less than full concrete replacement
    • Helps improve water drainage around the porch
    • Helps close gaps caused by settlement
    • Can improve curb appeal at the front of your home
    • Helps stabilize the slab by filling voids underneath
    • Reduces the mess and disruption of tear-out work
    • Depending on the lifting method used, the porch may be ready to use much sooner than new concrete

    Porch Leveling FAQs

    Can a sinking porch be lifted?

    Yes, many sinking concrete porches can be lifted if the slab is still in good condition. If the porch is badly broken, crumbling, or structurally unsafe, replacement or another repair may be needed. The Concrete Team can inspect the porch and explain your options.

    A porch may pull away from the house when the soil under the slab settles or washes out. As the slab drops, gaps can form between the porch and the home. Poor drainage, freeze-thaw cycles, and loose soil can all make the problem worse.

    Porch leveling can raise and support the slab, but it does not make cracks disappear. If cracks remain after lifting, concrete crack repair or joint sealing / caulking may be recommended.
    Porch and step problems often happen together. If the steps have sunk, tilted, or pulled away from the porch, they may need to be lifted as well. Visit our steps leveling page for more information.
    In many cases, no. If the porch area is easy to access, The Concrete Team can often review the problem without you being home. You can also send photos to help us understand the issue before the estimate.
    You can call The Concrete Team or fill out the form on our contact page. Photos of the porch, steps, cracks, gaps, and nearby walkway can help us review the project faster.
