Concrete Porch Repair

Your concrete porch should be an inviting space, but cracks and sinking can turn it into a safety concern. That’s why maintaining and repairing it is crucial. 

As homeowners ourselves, our team at Ohio Basement Systems understands how frustrating and intimidating concrete problems like a sinking porch can be. 

Because we care about your safety, we offer the innovative SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting system to address these issues at their source. As your trusted experts in concrete lifting and comprehensive home solutions, we help homeowners restore safety, stability, and curb appeal to their exterior concrete surfaces. 

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

What is Concrete Porch Repair? 

Concrete porch repair involves restoring damaged, cracked, or sunken concrete on your porch, addressing aesthetics and safety. 

Conventional methods like concrete repouring or mudjacking are invasive, costly, time-consuming, and only provide temporary solutions. Ohio Basement Systems instead offers an advanced solution: PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections that gently lift concrete slabs and stabilize the underlying soil. 

Our approach focuses on comprehensive home solutions, addressing the root causes such as unstable soil and oversaturation. This holistic approach ensures a long-lasting repair that complements your home’s structural health. 

If the issue is structural, we can also implement foundation repairs like foundation piers. 

Signs You Need to Repair Your Concrete Porch 

You should consider repairing your porch if you notice: 

• Cracks on the porch surface 
• Pitting, flaking, or staining on the concrete 
• Sinking slabs or uneven areas on the porch 
• Water pooling after rain 
• Gaps between the porch and the main structure 
• Loose, wobbly, or sinking steps 
• Leaning porch posts or railings 

You can prevent further damage and ensure a secure environment near your porch when you address these issues promptly. When you notice these signs, contact Ohio Basement Systems for a free inspection and repair estimate. 

Is Concrete Porch Repair Necessary? 

Yes, repairing your concrete porch now prevents future headaches. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage and higher repair costs. As the porch is an extension of your home, its condition impacts the overall structure, making timely repairs essential. 

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

Ohio Basement Systems’ solutions are part of a comprehensive home solution designed for lasting results. Our systems address the symptoms and their sources, so you won’t have to worry about the problem again.
