Concrete Lifting in Denver Metro & the Front Range: Why You Need to Act Before Winter

Why Fall Is the Best Time for Concrete Repair in Colorado

Colorado winters aren’t just tough on people. They’re also brutal on concrete. Driveways, sidewalks, patios, and garage floors across Denver, Centennial, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and the entire Front Range take a pounding once snow, ice, and freezing temperatures set in. So, if you’ve noticed sinking slabs or cracks in your concrete, fall is the time to act. Otherwise, winter weather can quickly make the problem worse. Ram Jack of Colorado has been serving Colorado homeowners in concrete repair since 1982. 

Why Concrete Fails in Colorado Winters

Concrete is strong, but the soils beneath it tell the real story. As water seeps through cracks and into the ground below, Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycle kicks in:

  • Water freezes and expands, widening cracks.
  • Each cycle pushes and shifts concrete, creating new fractures.
  • Weak soils get washed out, causing slabs to sink or tilt.

By spring, homeowners often find tripping hazards, larger cracks, and more expensive repairs than they faced in the fall.

Poly Foam Injection: The Right Solution Before Frost Sets In

At Ram Jack of Colorado, we use polyurethane foam injection (also known as Poly Foam lifting) to level and stabilize concrete slabs. This advanced method is fast, non-invasive, and highly effective in concrete repair across the Denver Metro and Front Range.

Here’s why it matters to get it done before frost arrives:

  • Concrete bonds to frozen soil once frost sets in. At that point, lifting is risky and can crack or damage the slab.
  • Foam fills voids beneath the slab, preventing water from pooling and further eroding the soil.
  • The process restores safety and curb appeal, eliminating trip hazards and uneven surfaces on driveways, walkways, and patios.

Seal Cracks & Protect Against Winter Damage

Even if your concrete is level, untreated cracks invite water infiltration. Adding professional concrete sealants now will:

  • Minimize water penetration during snowmelt and storms.
  • Protect against the freeze-thaw cycle that widens cracks.
  • Extend the life of your concrete surfaces for years to come.

The best protection comes from combining lifting and sealing before winter sets in.

Act Before It’s Too Late

Poly Foam concrete lifting and sealing are only possible until the ground begins to freeze. We have limited spots available before the end of the concrete lifting season, and demand across Denver Metro, Centennial, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and the broader Front Range fills up quickly.

Ram Jack of Colorado has been providing concrete lifting, concrete repair, and foundation repair solutions since 1982. We understand local soils, Colorado weather, and how to protect your property against the harsh freeze-thaw cycles unique to this region.

About Ram Jack

Ram Jack is a family-owned business that began operations in 1968, in Ada, OK, where we currently source our piers and brackets. Back then, concrete piering was the original repair method used simply because it was the only technology available at the time. Over time, it became evident that concrete piers did not provide long-term stabilization of foundations and only provided a short-term warranty period. To guarantee the highest grade of customer satisfaction, a greater solution needed to be found.

The Ram Jack owners embarked on a research program to develop a foundation repair system to stand the test of time. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office first issued a patent to Ram Jack for its foundation repair system in 1985. Over the next few years, additional refinements and patents have followed, resulting in the strongest patented system in the industry. Ram Jack driven pilings are ICC-ES recognized (International Construction Code—Evaluation Services). Ram Jack is one of only two ICC-ES recognized foundation repair companies in the industry. Ram Jack’s products meet or exceed code requirements set down by ICC-ES for both commercial and residential properties.
