Stair & Stoop Problems in Nebraska and Iowa

---

Do you have sinking or cracking stairs and stoops? Just like the rest of your home, stairs and stoops can develop cracks. Not only is this problem unsightly, but it could also be a safety hazard for family members and visitors. Don't ignore your settling stair and stoop problems. Contact Jerry's Waterproofing to prevent further foundation crumbling and deterioration. We are stair and stoop service providers serving Nebraska and Iowa.

What causes settlement underneath stairs and stoops? Because Iowa and Nebraska consist of clay soil, settling stairs and stoops are a common occurrence in this area. This type of soil shifts and moves depending on moisture levels. Other causes of settling stairs and stoops include:

• Poorly compacted soil
• Foundation settlement and sinking
• Soil erosion
• Clay expansion
• Soil shrinkage
• Age

Regardless of what is causing your settling stair and stoop, Jerry's Waterproofing uses the best repair solutions and products to repair the problem.

Stair and Stoop Repair in Nebraska and Iowa

Repairing your stair and stoop problems doesn't involve removing or rebuilding the affected area. This solution is only a band-aid for the problem, therefore it will sink just like the old one did. To permanently repair settlement, we use foundation repair products, such as steel piers. Steel piers will lift the stairs and stoop back to their original positions. Piers are screwed deep into the soil under the stairs and stoops, then the structure's weight is transferred onto the piers. Piers raise and stabilize the structure back to normal.

Steel piers are beneficial for settling homes. These piers are not affected by soil movement like other types of piers. Some advantages to installing steel piers include:

• Durability
• Installed deep into active soils
• Installed in any type of weather
• Little to no vibration
• Easy installation
