Fixing Concrete Steps - Front Porch
It appears that the front step on my house has settled and dropped about 6 - 8 inches from where it was originally attached to the front of the house. The house is about 20 years old with a slanted front yard and this took place long before we moved in. Originally my plan was to just add another stair in between what is there, but I'm not sure that would provide a long enough tread on the new stair. The existing stair has a rise of about 6 inches and a tread of about a foot and a half (estimates). The settling is pretty much uniform, with maybe a 2" difference over the length of the step (about 6 feet).
Is my best bet to build up the height of the existing step (thus creating a middle step) and adding a lower step further out (the height of the sunken step) or crushing out the existing step and rebuilding them both. I'd rather not repour the entire front walk (which is under the first step) if I don't have to.
Thanks.
