Concrete Crack Repair
If concrete on your property looks like it just went through an earthquake, it’s time for repairs. Foundation Repair of Western Colorado provides industry-leading concrete crack repair services.
Since 2005, we’ve been helping homeowners lift and repair concrete throughout Western Colorado. Read on to see how we provide concrete repair that actually lasts.
What is Concrete Crack Repair?
Concrete crack repair is exactly what it sounds like: fixing cracks on concrete. Usually, this is done with concrete lifting, a process that makes concrete surfaces more smooth and stable.
Think of all the concrete you have on your property. Maybe you have a concrete patio or pool deck. You spend a lot of time in these places, and cracks make it harder to enjoy them properly.
Our concrete crack repair method uses a modern material called polyurethane foam. As the foam goes under the concrete, it expands, closes cracks, and lifts the structure. In just 15 minutes, polyurethane cures to its final strength and supports the newly lifted concrete.
Signs You Need Concrete Crack Repair
Concrete cracks can show up in any structure made of concrete. For example, driveways, garage floors, patios, and sidewalks are all susceptible to cracking. Thankfully, the damage is easy to spot, so look out for:
- Cracks of any kind, especially those more than a ¼” wide.
- Weeds or roots growing through the concrete.
- Uneven or sinking sections of concrete.
- Edges of the concrete breaking off.
- Surface damage such as pitting, flaking, or staining.
If you see any of these signs of damage, or you’re unsure whether or not your concrete needs repair, schedule a free inspection with us!
Is Concrete Crack Repair Necessary?
We know that finding someone to repair concrete cracks isn’t fun or easy, but it is necessary. If your concrete is cracking, the problem won’t fix itself. You need concrete leveling (and quickly).
Fixing concrete cracks not only improves the look of your property but also boosts its overall safety. In Colorado, concrete repairs are extra important to prevent damage caused by the freeze-thaw cycle and bentonite clay soil.
In the long run, concrete repair is one of the best investments you can make for your home. Make sure the job is done right by working with a professional team like Foundation Repair of Western Colorado.

How We Install Concrete Crack Repair
Foundation Repair of Western Colorado’s concrete repair process follows several steps every time. Here’s how it works:
- Drill small, penny-sized holes into the concrete.
- Place injection ports in each hole.
- Mix and prepare the two-part, closed-cell polyurethane foam.
- Inject foam beneath the concrete slabs through the ports.
- The expanding foam fills the voids beneath the concrete and lifts the slab.
- Allow the foam to fully cure (approximately 15 minutes).
- Remove the injection ports and fill and smooth out drilled holes.
