How porches & steps goes, from excavation to curing
Inconsistent step heights are the most common cause of falls on residential steps, and they are entirely a layout decision made before the pour. Every riser in a flight should match within a small tolerance, and it is worth getting right whether or not anyone is inspecting it.
Handrail posts set into the concrete while it is wet are structural. Posts drilled and anchored into cured concrete afterwards are a fixing, and on an exterior flight they work loose over a few freeze-thaw cycles.

Garage Slab Problems and What the Code Asks For
A garage floor carries the weight of the cars, the water that drips off them and whatever the ground does underneath. Most of its problems trace back to the base, the joints at the door and one code exemption.

Tree Roots Lifting a Driveway or Sidewalk
Roots do not push concrete up out of spite. They grow where the water is, and the underside of a slab is one of the wettest places in a dry yard.

Why New Concrete Dusts, Flakes or Turns White
The surface of a slab is decided in the first day. Dusting, scaling and efflorescence are each the signature of something that went wrong then, and only one of them is cosmetic.

FAQ
Porches & Steps: common questions about base, steel and finish
Why do concrete steps crack or pull away from the house?
Settlement, usually. Steps are heavy, and if they were poured on fill dirt beside a new foundation they sink as the fill compacts, pulling away from the house and tipping. Steps built on a proper footing that goes below the fill do not. Cracking across a step is the same story from a different angle.
What are the rules for step height and depth?
Every step the same height — code allows very little variation — with a rise around seven inches and a tread at least ten or eleven inches deep. Inconsistent steps are what people trip on, and an inspector measures them. Handrail posts are set in the pour, because a rail drilled into cured concrete later is a rail that works loose.
