Concrete Porch Repair

Your concrete porch should be a welcoming space, but cracking and sinking can make it a safety hazard. That makes repair and upkeep all the more important.

At Ohio Basement Authority, our innovative SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting process addresses this problem at its root. As your trusted expert in concrete lifting and whole-home solutions, we help homeowners restore safety, stability, and curb appeal to their exterior concrete.

This page equips you with knowledge about concrete porch repairs and the unique benefits of our approach.

What is Concrete Porch Repair?

Concrete porch repair involves restoring damaged, cracked, or sunken concrete on your porch. This process is crucial not only for aesthetics but also for safety.

Conventional repairs like concrete repouring or mudjacking cannot stand the test of time. These methods are invasive, expensive, time-consuming, and temporary bandages that do not address the cause of the problem.

Ohio Basement Authority believes your home deserves better, so we offer a cutting-edge solution: PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections that gently lift concrete slabs and stabilize the underlying soil.

Our method utilizes concrete lifting as part of a comprehensive whole-home solution. Instead of merely addressing the surface issue, we target the underlying causes, like unstable soil and oversaturation. This holistic approach ensures a long-lasting repair that balances with your home’s overall structural health.

While this particular solution targets problematic concrete, we can also implement foundation repairs, such as foundation piers, if we determine the cause of the issue is structural.

Signs You Need to Repair Your Concrete Porch

Your porch may need repair if you notice:

Visible cracks on the porch surface
Pitting, flaking, or staining along the concrete
Noticeable sinking slabs or uneven areas
Pooling water after rain
Gaps between the porch and the main structure
Loose, wobbly, or sinking steps
Leaning porch posts or railings

By resolving these issues promptly, you can avoid further damage and ensure a secure environment near your porch. When you notice these signs of trouble, contact Ohio Basement Authority for a free inspection and repair estimate.

Is Concrete Porch Repair Necessary?

Yes, repairing your concrete porch now saves you future headaches. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage and higher repair costs associated with limited repair options.

As the porch is an extension of your home, its condition impacts the overall structure. By investing in timely repairs, you’re also ensuring the longevity of your entire home.

Avoid the temptation of quick fixes from big-box stores or settling for traditional techniques like mudjacking and complete replacement. These temporary solutions don’t tackle the root of the problem, and lead to additional issues and expenses.

Ohio Basement Authority’s solutions go beyond mere patchwork. They are part of our robust whole-home solution designed for lasting results. Our concrete lifting techniques can also stop porch problems before they escalate. Having your porch evaluated and repaired as soon as issues arise is vital.
