Foundation Success Story: Saving a Porch in Littleton, Colorado

Foundation Issue Resolution in Littleton, Colorado

Recently, a homeowner was seeking foundation repair in Littleton, Colorado, observed troubling signs of foundation issues— their front porch column and roof support beam had started to shift, causing visible stair-step cracks in the brickwork. Concerned that the column might collapse and bring down the entire porch awning, the homeowner contacted Ram Jack Colorado for assistance. Ram Jack Colorado’s expert team was dispatched to evaluate the situation and provide a comprehensive solution.

Effective Pier Installation by Ram Jack Colorado

The team at Ram Jack Colorado promptly assessed the situation and determined that only one pier was needed to stabilize and recover the column. They installed a helical pier 23 feet below the surface, underpinned the column footing and lifted just over 2 inches. This recovery was sufficient to close the cracks and restore stability to the column, effectively preventing further damage. The successful intervention demonstrated the precision and efficiency of Ram Jack Colorado’s foundation repair techniques.

The Importance of Early Detection for Foundation Issues

Fortunately, the homeowner identified the problem early, avoiding more extensive and costly repairs. Before and after pictures of the cracks illustrate a remarkable transformation—demonstrating the effectiveness of early intervention.

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.
