What Is Stoops & Steps Lifting?
Stoops and steps lifting is a concrete leveling process that raises settled or tilted entry steps back into proper alignment. Instead of removing and rebuilding concrete steps, we inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and lift the concrete with precision.
This process is commonly referred to as polyjacking and provides a long-lasting solution for sunken entryways.
Common Signs Your Steps or Stoop Need Lifting
You may need stoops and steps lifting if you notice:
Uneven or sloping steps
Gaps forming between the stoop and the home
Cracks caused by settlement
Doors that stick or don’t open properly
Water pooling near the entryway
These issues often worsen over time and can affect both safety and accessibility.
Why Stoops & Steps Sink in the Kansas City Area
Concrete steps and stoops commonly settle due to:
Poor soil compaction during installation
Soil erosion from water runoff
Freeze–thaw cycles that shift soil
Improper drainage near entryways
Natural soil movement over time
When the soil beneath the steps shifts, the concrete above it follows.
Our Stoops & Steps Lifting Process
We use polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize stoops and steps safely and precisely.
The process includes:
Drilling small, discreet holes into the concrete
Injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab
Filling voids and lifting the steps evenly
Leveling the surface and patching the holes
Most stoops and steps lifting projects are completed in a few hours, with same-day usability.
