Yes, and sunken front steps are one of the most fixable problems on this list. Steps beside a foundation sit on the same backfill wedge as garage slabs, and when it settles, the whole stoop drops or tilts as a unit. A solid stoop that has sunk but not broken can very often be lifted back into place with slab leveling in a morning. A stoop that has cracked apart, or hollow-built steps that have collapsed internally, get demolished and repoured with code-height risers.

Stairs work because every riser is the same height. When a stoop sinks an inch, the bottom step is suddenly an inch shorter than the rest, and feet notice even when eyes do not. Uneven risers are how people fall on steps that look fine. A tilting top landing does the same thing at the door, and adds water draining toward the threshold. Fixing sunken steps is as much about the fall nobody has had yet as about the concrete.
Solid poured steps that moved as one piece: lift, usually the same day, at a fraction of rebuild cost. Steps cracked through, spalling badly, or built hollow on rubble, common on older Winston-Salem homes, get rebuilt. A rebuild is also the moment to fix what the originals got wrong: riser heights to code, a landing that sheds water away from the door, and a proper base so the new steps do not repeat the story.
