Lifting a Sunken Front Stoop in Hurley, SD

Service: Concrete Lifting & Leveling
Location: Hurley, South Dakota

🚧 The Problem

This homeowner in Hurley, SD reached out to our team after noticing their front stoop had settled several inches, creating a large gap between the step and the entryway. The uneven concrete had become a major tripping hazard and was starting to slope away from the home, allowing water to pool near the foundation.

Left untreated, the problem could have led to further cracking, safety concerns, and water intrusion along the front of the house.

🧰 The Solution

Our Blackburn Foundation Repair crew used precision polyurethane foam injection to carefully lift and level the stoop back into its proper position. Small injection ports were drilled, and expanding foam was pumped beneath the slab — raising it evenly and filling voids under the concrete.

This clean, efficient method restored the stoop’s height and slope, creating a safe and solid entry without the need for a full replacement.

✅ The Results

Within just a few hours, the front stoop was leveled and secure again. The tripping hazard was eliminated, the step aligned perfectly with the doorway, and the homeowner regained both safety and curb appeal.

Another successful Blackburn concrete lifting project completed in Hurley, South Dakota — proof that even small slabs can make a big difference when it comes to protecting your home and keeping your family safe.
