Fixing Foundation Cracks in Denver: What Homeowners Need to Know

If you’ve spotted cracks in your home’s foundation, you’re not alone—foundation cracks are a common issue in Denver due to the region’s expansive clay soils and fluctuating weather. At Ram Jack Colorado, we understand the unique challenges Colorado homes face, and we’re here to help you act fast and smart.

Why Do Foundation Cracks Happen in Denver?

Denver’s soil expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells, putting stress on concrete foundations. This can lead to:

  • Vertical cracks from soil settling
  • Horizontal cracks from hydrostatic pressure
  • Stair-step cracks in brick or block foundations

When Is a Crack a Serious Problem?

Not all cracks mean disaster, but some are red flags:

  • Cracks in your foundation (horizontal, vertical and diagonal)
  • Cracks in your drywall that grow over time
  • Bowing walls, tipping walls or sticky doors/windows

These may indicate structural movement or shifting that needs professional attention.

How Ram Jack Colorado Fixes Foundation Cracks

We don’t believe in patch jobs. Our solutions are engineered for lasting results:

  1. Comprehensive evaluation – We start with identifying the root cause.
  2. Structural repair – Using piers, wall anchors, or carbon fiber reinforcement are just a few of the potential solutions.
  3. Concrete lifting– Mudjacking or polyurethane injection for original elevation results.

Don’t Wait—Act Early

Ignoring small cracks can lead to major repairs down the road. Contact Ram Jack Colorado today for a no-pressure evaluation and find out if your home needs a long-lasting fix.

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.
