    Concrete steps sinking - best way to fix?

    Sure and I hope that is true in most cases but I've also read of material used that can be eventually washed off by water. Probably cutting corners I guess.

    Concrete steps sinking - best way to fix?

    yes, I'm afraid that any pro intervention may not be big savings over new although would save time and aggravation I think.
