A concrete porch can be a welcoming space for inviting friends and enjoying the outdoors, but cracking and sinking can create safety hazards. This makes repair and upkeep all the more important.

At Baker’s Waterproofing, our innovative SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting process addresses concrete problems at their core. As Pennsylvania’s trusted leader in whole-home solutions, we aid homeowners in restoring property safety, stability, and value. 

This page explains the porch repair process and the exceptional benefits it provides.

What is Concrete Porch Repair?

Concrete porch repair addresses damaged, cracked, or sinking concrete. This process is essential for improving aesthetics and, more importantly, enhancing safety.  

At Baker’s Waterproofing, we believe in providing superior home solutions. We offer a state-of-the-art remedy: PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections. These injections gently lift concrete slabs while stabilizing the underlying soil. 

We take a holistic stance, addressing underlying causes like unstable soil and excess moisture. This comprehensive method ensures a lasting repair. 

If we identify structural issues as the root cause, our expertise extends to foundation repairs, including foundation piers, to ensure your porch is structurally sound. 

Signs You Need to Repair Your Concrete Porch 

Your porch may need repair if you notice these signs:  

uneven concrete slab
  • Gaps between the porch and the main structure 
  • Loose, wobbly, or sinking steps
  • Leaning porch posts or railings

Addressing these problems promptly not only prevents further damage but also ensures a safe environment around your porch. If you observe any of these warning signs, don’t hesitate to reach out to Baker’s Waterproofing for a free inspection and a repair estimate. 

Is Concrete Porch Repair Necessary?

Concrete porch repair is essential to prevent future problems. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage and higher costs, limiting your options for effective solutions.

Your porch is a vital part of your home, impacting its overall structural integrity. Timely repairs enhance the porch’s durability and ensure your home’s long-term well-being.

Avoid quick fixes from generic retailers or conventional methods like mudjacking or complete replacement, which often provide temporary solutions and fail to address the root cause, leading to further complications and expenses.

At Baker’s Waterproofing, our solutions are part of a comprehensive whole-home approach designed for lasting results.

Importantly, it won’t wash away or erode beneath the concrete.

    Concrete porch damage often arises from factors such as unstable soil, erosion, the cycle of freezing and thawing, inadequate drainage, tree roots, or the natural wear and tear that occurs over time. Baker’s Waterproofing’s exclusive PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting solutions address these issues directly by stabilizing both the porch and the underlying soil. Contact us for more information and to schedule a complimentary inspection.  

    Disclaimer: “Concrete leveling” means the process by which cracked, uneven concrete is stabilized, and in many cases lifted, by means of PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam. Baker’s Waterproofing does not guarantee that PolyRenewal™ can make your concrete perfectly level.
