Concrete Settling Under Stairs

This customer contacted DBS after noticing that their stairs were settling on the outside of their house and on the sidewalk leading out to the driveway. Due to their age, the uneven concrete steps were a concern for them, especially during winter. When our Design Specialist, Jake Thomas, went out to the property, he recommended installing PolyLevel® underneath the concrete of both the sidewalk and the stairs to even out the concrete. PolyLevel uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part formula allow for accurate leveling of the slab. This makes the concrete lift a waterproofed repair as well so it is much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.
