A concrete porch should be a welcoming area, but sinking and cracking can turn it into a safety risk. Foundation Recovery Systems offers an innovative concrete lifting solution that addresses these issues at the core.

We help residents of Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois restore stability, safety, and aesthetic appeal to their outdoor concrete spaces.

This page provides information about repairing concrete porches and the distinct advantages of our method.

What is Concrete Porch Repair?

Concrete porch repair involves addressing broken, cracked, or sinking concrete, which is essential for aesthetics and safety.

PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections are one method that gently lifts concrete slabs and stabilizes the underlying soil, ensuring long-term stability.

We address underlying soil issues, water saturation, and foundation issues, ensuring durable repairs that protect your home’s structural integrity. If structural issues are found to be a structural concern, foundation repairs, including foundation pier installation, may also be implemented.

Signs You Need to Repair Your Concrete Porch 

Your porch might need repairs if you observe: 

cracked concrete patio slab
  • Gaps between the porch and the house 
  • Unstable, shaky, or sinking steps 
  • Tilted porch posts or railings

Addressing these issues quickly helps prevent further damage and ensures a safe space around your porch. Contact Foundation Recovery Systems for a free inspection and repair quote when you notice these warning signs. 

Is Concrete Porch Repair Necessary?

Yes, concrete porch repair is crucial. A porch is an integral part of your home, and its condition directly impacts structural stability. Addressing concrete damage when you observe signs of compromise prevents future costly repairs, continued damage, and safety hazards.

Avoid temporary DIY fixes, outdated mudjacking, and total slab replacement techniques, as they don’t address the underlying causes and may lead to further complications. Instead, choose long-term solutions like PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting and leveling from Foundation Recovery Systems.
