What is Concrete Porch Repair?

Concrete repair addresses cracks, holes, and other concrete damage for cosmetic and structural reasons. Depending on the size and severity of the damage, many repair materials and methods are available. Small cracks may only require patching; larger cracks or holes may need a more substantial repair, such as PolyRenewal™ polyurethane concrete lifting solutions.

Long-term results require addressing the underlying causes of damage, like unstable soil. Many repair methods, like mud jacking and complete slab replacement, only treat cosmetic concrete issues. Comprehensive concrete lifting is essential for providing a durable solution that corrects the immediate problem and prevents future occurrences.

Your porch may require concrete lifting and repair if you notice the following signs:

Cracks on the porch
Pitting, flaking, or discoloration on the concrete
Sinking slabs or uneven areas
Water accumulation after rain

Tilting porch posts or railings

Addressing these signs helps prevent further damage and ensures a safe porch space. Contact Foundation Systems of Michigan for a free inspection and repair estimate.
