One more thing to check when looking for signs of settled steps: the handrail.

Along with measuring step heights, checking for cracks, and inspecting mortar joints, take a look at the handrail.

Here’s what to look for:

Changes in clearance: Has the space between the handrail and the front edge of the step changed?

A railing that has moved: The handrail may settle along with the steps, or it may stay in place while the steps move.

Gaps at the house: Look for loose mounting points or signs that the railing is pulling away from where it’s attached.

We’ve seen examples of both. On one project, the handrail had moved downward as the steps settled. On another, the railing interfered with the lifting process, so it had to be raised along with the steps.

These details can provide additional clues that movement has occurred. They don’t automatically confirm settlement, but they’re worth checking.

The more signs you recognize, the better you can understand what may be happening.

Uneven steps aren’t the only sign of settlement.

As a follow-up to our previous video on measuring outdoor steps, here are a few more things to look for:

* Cracks in the steps
* Uneven mortar joints
* Mortar joints that look different in width or alignment
* Gaps or separation between adjoining sections

These signs can show up individually or along with uneven step heights. While they don’t automatically mean your steps have settled, they can be clues that movement has occurred.

If you notice any of these, contact us for a free estimate. 704-785-7470.

Are your steps settling?

Buying, selling, or already own a home? Take a look at your outdoor steps.

Over time, steps can settle, and there are a few signs to watch for. Look for cracks, visible lines where the steps used to be, or uneven heights from one step to the next.

A tape measure can help. Measure the height of each step, checking both the left and right sides. Differences in height can be a sign that something has settled.

If you notice a problem, contact us for a free estimate. Photos and measurements can also help us provide a virtual estimate.

Over time, water worked its way beneath this walkway, softening the soil and causing the concrete to settle by just over 3½ inches.

We’ll lift the walkway back toward its original height and restore support beneath the concrete using high-density polyurethane foam.

Injecting liquid material beneath the surface. As it expands into foam, we can watch the concrete rise and monitor the movement using indicators to make sure we’re lifting it to where it should be.

Here’s how AccuLift fixed this 4-inch sunken walkway.

1. The problem: The concrete had settled about 4 inches, leaving it noticeably lower than the retaining wall.
2. Lift the slab: We carefully raised the existing concrete back to its original height without replacing the slab.
3. Restore the appropriate pitch: We ensured walkway slopes away from the door, allowing water to drain away from the structure.
4. Support it: Once the slab was at the proper height, we filled the space underneath with high-density polyurethane foam to support and stabilize.
5. The result: A restored walkway, proper drainage, and solid subsurface support, all while keeping the existing concrete.

Settled corner of the driveway had dropped about 4 inches, so we filled the void underneath and lifted it back into place. The result looks great giving the homeowner a level, stable section of driveway/walkway and peace of mind knowing the issue was properly addressed.

We inject polyurethane foam directly beneath the surface to fill voids and restore support under the concrete. By addressing the space beneath the slab, we help provide the support it needs and reduce the potential for settlement and future damage.
