What is Concrete Porch Repair?

Concrete porch repair involves restoring damaged, cracked, or uneven concrete on your porch.

PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections gently lift concrete slabs and stabilize the underlying soil. Rather than addressing the surface issue, we target the underlying causes of damage, like unstable soil and erosion. This holistic approach ensures a long-lasting repair, contributing to your home’s structural health.

While this particular solution targets problematic concrete, we also implement foundation repairs. If we determine the cause of the issue is a structural concern, we may also implement foundation piers.

Signs Your Home Needs Concrete Porch Repair

Your concrete porch may need repair if you notice these problem signs:

Visible cracks on the porch surface
Pitting, flaking, or staining along the concrete

Leaning porch posts or railings

Resolving these issues promptly avoids further damage and ensures a secure environment. When you notice these problem signs, contact JES Foundation Repair for a free inspection and repair estimate.

Is Concrete Porch Repair Necessary?

It is necessary to repair your concrete porch at the first sign of damage to prevent further deterioration. Avoid quick DIY fixes from big-box retail stores and traditional techniques like mudjacking and complete slab replacement. These temporary solutions don’t tackle the underlying problem and lead to continued issues and expenses.

JES Foundation Repair’s solutions go beyond the surface. Our concrete lifting techniques stop the current porch deterioration and prevent it from escalating. If you live in Virginia, DC, or Maryland, we can help.

Concrete Lifting FAQs

What causes concrete porch damage?
