Back to School, Back to Your To-Do List: Protect Your Denver Front Range Home’s Foundation Before Winter

Prepare Your Denver Home’s Foundation Before Winter Hits

As the summer heat fades and the school year gets underway, life in the Denver Front Range quickly shifts into high gear—school drop-offs in Aurora, little league games in Lakewood, Friday night lights in Highlands Ranch, and weekend watch parties in Fort Collins, Greeley, or Arvada.

But while you’re settling back into your routine, there’s one important task that shouldn’t be forgotten: making sure your home’s foundation is ready for Colorado’s winter.

Why Fall Is the Best Time for a Foundation Check

From Jefferson County to Douglas, Arapahoe to Adams, Larimer to Weld, and the City and County of Denver, the Front Range’s mix of hot summers and cold winters can be tough on foundations.

If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, now’s the time to act:

  • Cracks in walls, floors, or brickwork

  • Sinking or sloping floors

  • Doors or windows that stick or don’t align properly

  • Gaps between walls, ceilings, or floors

Address Issues Now, Avoid Bigger Problems Later

Foundation problems rarely go away on their own. In fact, they tend to worsen, leading to higher repair costs and more disruption. Fall is an ideal time for repairs because it comes before holiday gatherings, heavy snow, and freezing temperatures making work more difficult.

Plus, if you’re considering concrete lifting for uneven sidewalks, driveways, or patios, keep in mind that the season wraps up once frost sets in.

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.
