The Challenge: Uneven and Sinking Front Steps

The homeowner noticed their front steps were sinking and uneven, creating safety concerns and diminishing the property’s curb appeal. Over time, the soil beneath the steps had shifted, causing the bricks to settle unevenly. This problem posed not only a tripping hazard but also the risk of further structural damage if left unaddressed.

Our Solution: Polyurethane Foam Injection

Our team at Top Level Ohio used polyurethane leveling to resolve the issue efficiently and effectively. This modern, minimally invasive method allowed us to lift the sunken steps back into place without the need for costly demolition or reconstruction.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Assessment and Preparation:
   We started by assessing the severity of the settlement and identified the points of injection for the polyurethane foam.
2. Foam Injection:
   Using specialized equipment, we injected high-density polyurethane foam under the sinking steps. The foam expanded beneath the slab, filling voids and lifting the bricks back to their original position.
3. Leveling and Finishing Touches:
   Once the steps were perfectly level, we sealed the injection points and ensured the surrounding areas were cleaned and restored.

The Result: Safe and Stable Steps

In just a few hours, we restored the front steps to a safe, level condition. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, especially with the quick turnaround and minimal disruption to their daily life.

Benefits of Polyurethane Leveling:

• Cost-Effective: A fraction of the cost compared to replacing the steps.
• Durable: Provides long-lasting support and stability.
• Eco-Friendly: Reduces waste by preserving existing materials.
• Minimal Downtime: Steps were ready to use the same day.
