Settled steps may be dangerous because of the tread slope and lack of uniformity that result. They may also indicate movement of the entire structure. Repairs to steps that do not have a proper foundation or are not properly supported by the building, are expensive. This is especially true of concrete or masonry steps.
The trip hazard that is created is the first implication of settled or heaved steps. An expensive repair is the result. In severe cases, structural problems can develop.
Pay attention to the step uniformity and slope of the treads, both side to side and front to back as you walk up the steps. Pay attention to the slope of the landing. Make sure you have a qualified contractor that understands the rise of the stairs do the repairs, so it is done correctly.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!
