Sinking Porch? Lift It Without Replacing It
If your porch is sinking, uneven, or pulling away from your home, it’s not just a cosmetic issue—it’s a sign something is wrong underneath.
You may notice gaps forming, water draining toward your foundation, or an uneven step when walking out your front door. These problems don’t fix themselves—they only get worse over time.
But here’s the good news:
Most porches don’t need to be replaced. They can be lifted.
At Granite City Concrete Raising, we use polyurethane foam to lift and level your porch back into place—quickly, cleanly, and without tearing anything out.
Concrete got you trippin? Get even with it!!
Why Porches Sink
Your porch sits on soil that naturally shifts over time. In Minnesota, changing weather conditions make this even worse.
Here’s what commonly causes porch settling:
- Soil washout from rain or poor drainage
- Freeze and thaw cycles expanding and shrinking the ground
- Voids forming under the slab
- Poor soil compaction during installation
- Water collecting near your foundation
When the soil beneath your porch weakens, the concrete loses support and begins to sink.
If your porch is settling, you may also notice issues with nearby areas like your driveway or sidewalk. We can level those too to keep your entire entryway safe and even. If the problem is coming from below, our void filling service helps stabilize the soil and prevent further sinking.

Signs Your Porch Needs Leveling
Not sure if your porch can be lifted?
Look for these signs:
- Porch pulling away from the house
- Uneven or sloped surface
- Cracks forming in the slab
- Gaps between the porch and steps
- Water draining toward your home
- A noticeable drop when stepping outside
If you’re seeing any of these, it’s best to fix the issue before it affects your foundation or creates a safety risk.
Our Fix: Lift Your Porch with Polyurethane Foam
We don’t replace your porch—we fix what’s underneath it.
Our concrete lifting process uses high-density polyurethane foam to raise and stabilize your porch from below.
