Concrete Leveling Albany NY

Are Your Concrete Steps Sinking, Slanting, or Pulling Away?

Concrete steps should feel solid, safe, and level. When they start to sink, lean, crack, or pull away from the porch, walkway, or entryway, they can become a real safety concern.

Uneven steps can create trip hazards for your family, guests, customers, tenants, or anyone walking through the property. The Concrete Team provides concrete steps leveling, mudjacking, slabjacking, and concrete repair services throughout Upstate New York.

If your steps are still in good enough condition, they may not need to be replaced. We may be able to raise, level, and stabilize them instead.

Why Concrete Steps Sink

Concrete steps are heavy. They need solid soil underneath to stay supported. When that soil moves, settles, washes out, or weakens, the steps can begin to drop or tilt.

Common reasons concrete steps sink include:

  • Poor soil compaction during original construction
  • Water washing soil away from under the steps
  • Freeze-thaw movement during Upstate New York winters
  • Erosion near the porch, walkway, or foundation
  • Voids forming under the concrete
  • Heavy step sections settling over time
  • Poor drainage near the entryway
  • Soil shrinking or shifting under the slab

Once the support under the steps is gone, the concrete may sink, crack, lean, or separate from nearby surfaces.

If the walkway leading to your steps is also uneven, visit our walkway and sidewalk leveling page. If your steps are connected to a sinking porch, our porch 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 Steps Leveling

    Concrete steps do not always fail all at once. Many problems start small and get worse over time. Fixing settled steps early can help prevent bigger safety and repair issues later.

    You may need steps leveling if you notice:

    • Steps pulling away from the porch or house
    • A gap between the steps and entryway
    • Uneven step height
    • Steps slanting forward, backward, or to one side
    • Cracks in the steps or nearby concrete
    • Water pooling around the steps
    • A trip hazard at the top or bottom step
    • Nearby walkway slabs sinking too
    • Steps feeling unstable or unsafe
    • Gaps under the concrete
    • Soil washing out around the step area

    If the concrete is cracked but still stable, concrete crack repair may also be recommended after leveling. If water is getting into open joints near the steps, joint sealing and caulking may help protect the repair.

    Our Steps Leveling Process

    The Concrete Team specializes in mudjacking, also called slabjacking. This allows us to review your steps
    and recommend the method that makes the most sense for the project.

    Top Concrete Leveling Contractor Near Me

    Step 1: Inspect the Steps

    We look at how the steps have settled, where the concrete has moved, whether the steps are cracked, and how they connect to nearby surfaces like the porch, walkway, or foundation.

    Step 2: Lift and Stabilize the Concrete

    We raise settled concrete using mudjacking, also called slabjacking. This process uses a grout-like material to fill voids under the slab, support the concrete, and lift it back toward the surrounding surface.

    Step 3: Patch and Clean Up

    After the steps are raised, we patch the drilled holes, clean the work area, and review the repair. 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 Concrete Steps Leveling

    Steps leveling can be a smart repair when the concrete is still strong enough to save. Instead of tearing out the steps and pouring new concrete, lifting can help bring the existing concrete back toward a safer position.

    Benefits include:

    • Helps reduce trip hazards
    • Makes entryways safer to use
    • Helps correct uneven step height
    • Can cost less than full replacement
    • Helps stabilize voids under the concrete
    • Reduces disruption compared to removal and replacement
    • Helps improve the look of the entryway
    • Can help prevent further cracking or movement
    • Often completed faster than replacing the steps
    • May be ready to use much sooner than newly poured concrete, depending on the repair method
    • Helps protect nearby walkways, porches, and slabs from related settling issues

    Steps Leveling FAQs

    Can sinking concrete steps be lifted?

    Yes, many sinking concrete steps can be lifted if the concrete is still in good condition. If the steps are badly broken, crumbling, or structurally unsafe, replacement may be the better option. You can learn more about the cause of settling on our Why Concrete Sinks page.

    Concrete steps can pull away when the soil underneath settles or washes out. As the steps sink, a gap can open between the steps and the porch, entryway, or foundation. This can create a trip hazard and allow more water to get into the area.
    Yes, in many cases we can level both the steps and the nearby walkway. This is often helpful because the same soil or drainage problem may affect both areas. You can read more on our walkway and sidewalk leveling page.
    Leveling can improve the position of settled steps, but it does not make cracks disappear. After the steps are lifted, crack repair or joint sealing may be recommended to help protect the concrete from water. Visit our concrete crack repair page for more information.
    In many cases, no. If the steps are easy to access, The Concrete Team can often inspect the area without you being home. Clear photos can also help us understand the problem. You can start through our contact page.
    We can level many related concrete areas, including porches, sidewalks, walkways, patios, slabs, and concrete floors. If the problem affects more than the steps, our team can review the full area and explain what should be repaired first. Start with our porch leveling or concrete slab leveling pages.
