Hey there. I've got a sixty year old house in the inland northwest with some problematic side steps. Out the side door there's a concrete landing about five by six feet. Off either side of the landing, four concrete steps lead to ground level. On both sides, the steps have broken off the landing and are now tiliting into the house. There is a two inch drop over a four foot long step. There are no signs of problems yet but such a negative drainage problem can't be good for my foundation. What would you recommend for a fix? I would like to keep the steps if that is possible but if need be I am willing to tear out the two sets of steps and the landing and rebuild the whole shooting match with wood. Thanks in advance.

You might be able to jack them back into position and grout underneath to support them.
