Effective Concrete Lifting and Sealing Solutions in Highlands Ranch, CO by Ram Jack Colorado

Comprehensive Concrete Lifting Services in Highlands Ranch, CO

In Highlands Ranch, CO, a homeowner contacted Ram Jack Colorado to address uneven settlement issues in their driveway. The settlement had caused significant unevenness near the threshold, creating a potential hazard and an eyesore. The customer opted for a comprehensive polyfoam injection solution to lift the affected area, covering approximately 200 square feet of the driveway. Additionally, joint sealants and backer rods were applied to prevent water infiltration beneath the slabs.

Efficient Polyfoam Injection and Concrete Sealing by Ram Jack Colorado

The Ram Jack Colorado team successfully lifted the driveway back to its original elevation using advanced polyfoam injection techniques. This process involved injecting a specially formulated polyurethane foam under the slabs, which expands to fill voids and create the pressure needed to lift and recover the settlement. The polyfoam cures or hardens within a few minutes stabilizing the treated area. After lifting, the crew applied a concrete joint sealer topped with fine sand to protect the sealant from UV rays, ensuring long-lasting durability. The entire project, including patching the holes and finishing the sealants, was completed in about an hour, demonstrating the efficiency and expertise of the crew.

Long-Term Solutions and Preventative Measures for Driveway Stability

The project not only restored the driveway’s original elevation but also enhanced its overall stability and appearance. To minimize the risk of future settlement, the team recommended extending the downspouts to discharge rainwater and snowmelt away from the driveway. This preventive measure aims to reduce water seepage under the slabs, ensuring the longevity of the repair. The successful completion of this project underscores Ram Jack Colorado’s commitment to providing effective and lasting concrete lifting solutions for homeowners.

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.
