Front cement porch sunken
Hi there, our front porch has sunken to slant lower in the front as you enter the home. So it is a slant from the door down to the side walk. There is a roof over this porch is supported by these 4 x4s that sits on the slab, and when we attempted to have it mud jacked to even it out, correct the slant and make the porch level again, they could not do it without damaging the above roof. The mud jacking seemed to push up everything. We want to sell our home and feel we need to do something to make an even porch. So, as little a cost as possible. Is there a way a cement person can layer a sheet of cement on top to correct this slant? Thanks for reading about this problem and sharing your ideas.

Ahhh tina.kush , welcome to the forum


I really don't know, I wish I did... the problem lies in what is on top of those "pillars' that hold the porch up. If it is cement I dare bet some more of it can be added without inflicting too much costs upon you...
