Not sure where to post this. I have a set of three concrete steps going to my porch that are sinking. I have heard that they can be raised up by companies pumping a material in the ground under them. Does anyone have any experience with this? Can anyone recommend a company?

How big are the steps?
Unless they are abnormally large, I believe you are using a shotgun to kill a fly. Can you not raise one side at a time and pack stone underneath them? Leverage is your friend!

Were they poured in place?
I thought maybe they were the hollow, precast type, which are easy to move, and since they are hollow, they aren't real good candidates for mudjacking.

If they are the precast style, I agree you can probably lift them up and add more fill underneath. If they're the solid, cast in place style, what you're looking for is someone who does mudjacking.
