Over the past 7 years A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York
Division has completed thousands of estimates and projects and one of the most
common questions that customers ask is: “Why did my concrete settle?” The simple answer is compaction of the
sub-base and the resulting surface drainage over time causes concrete to
settle. That being said, the areas that have been excavated around the
foundation of the house or structure have more fill and, therefore, a far
greater likelihood for significant initial compaction. Excavation and compaction in conjunction with
the disproportionate weight that concrete steps transfer to the sub-base
creates a perfect storm for steps and stoops to settle. When concrete steps settle it inevitably
results in one step being higher than the standard 7”-8” required by code. A-1 Concrete Leveling raises sunken steps and
stoop back to original position eliminating the dangerous leap that was intended
to be a step at a fraction of the cost and time. Take a moment to see what A-1 Concrete
Leveling can do for your sunken concrete steps and stoops.
