Many home entrances require at least a few concrete steps to provide safe and easy access. However, over time, factors like soil shifting, erosion, or the weight of the steps can cause them to sink or become uneven. This often results in steps that are too high, too low, or inconsistent in height, creating a serious tripping hazard. Uneven or sunken steps are dangerous and may also violate local building codes, especially if the rise and run of each step are not uniform.
Unsafe entryways are a liability for property owners if they're the cause of an injury. A simple misstep could lead to a fall, resulting in serious injury and potential legal consequences. Our company understands the importance of protecting your guests and family. If your concrete steps are uneven, cracked, or sinking, schedule a professional inspection with Sunny South Inc. for your repair today. Our focus is to ensure your entryway is safe, up to code, and liability-free.
Foam Leveling
With our poly concrete leveling system, we are able rapidly and successfully lift your concrete stairs, reestablishing them to a secure height. The repairs take off behind a little hole about the measure of a dime that’s filled with a concrete fix for a permanent seal. The foam we utilize within the repair is particularly planned for use inside the concrete industry. It may be a closed-cell, thick fabric that does not break down over time.

The Legal Risks of Unsafe or Non-Code-Compliant Concrete Steps
Sunny South Inc. cares about keeping our community safe and homeowners well-informed. From a legal standpoint, homeowners can be liable when a person suffers an injury caused by unsafe or non-code-compliant steps. Delivery drivers or even a family friend who trips on a sunken, neglected step have a right to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages, and it's the homeowner's responsibility to cover them. Courts often view building code violations as strong evidence of negligence, even if a homeowner is unaware of the hazard. In one case, a homeowner was sued after a visitor fell due to a missing handrail on a steep entryway. The court ruled in favour of the injured party, citing the homeowner's failure to meet safety standards.
To avoid these risks, inspecting your entry steps regularly and addressing any signs of sinking, cracking, or unevenness is essential. Retrofitting or repairing concrete steps not only improves safety and curb appeal but also protects you from potential legal and financial consequences. If your steps are showing signs of wear or uneven settling, contact our experts at Sunny South Inc. for a free inspection and estimate, and take the first step toward a safer, code-compliant home.
