    Do I need to retreat jet washed sandstone steps

    I have stone steps up to my front door (it’s a Victorian terrace). They were jet washed over the summer. Since then I have noticed a leak in my cellar, underneath where the steps are. Do I need to “seal” the steps in any way to try and stop this. I think they are either limestone or sandstone - either way they look porous, with lots of little holes in them.
