For nearly three decades, Rocky Mountain Steel Piering & Structural Services has built its reputation on one simple idea, when a property owner, contractor, or design professional needs structural work done right the first time, they call the experts. Since 1996, that’s meant helical piers, tiebacks, foundation stabilization, and the structural services that keep Colorado homes and commercial buildings standing strong on some of the most challenging soil in the country.
Today, we’re excited to announce the next chapter of that commitment: Rocky Mountain Steel Piering & Structural Services is now offering a full suite of concrete services, including concrete removal and replacement, polyurethane foam lifting (concrete leveling), and crack chasing and sealing.
This expansion isn’t a pivot, it’s a natural extension of the structural work we’ve been doing along the Front Range for 30 years. Foundations and concrete flatwork face the same enemies: expansive Colorado soils, freeze-thaw cycles, poor drainage, and time. And the same engineering discipline that goes into our steel pier installations is now going into every driveway, sidewalk, patio, and slab we touch.
Here’s what that looks like.
When concrete is too far gone for a repair: when you’re looking at major settlement, severe cracking, crumbling edges, or a slab that’s become a genuine trip hazard, the right answer is a full tear-out and replacement. That’s what we deliver.
Our concrete removal and replacement service is built for residential and light commercial applications across the Denver metro: damaged driveways, failing sidewalks, sunken patios, cracked garage floors, and compromised slabs-on-grade. We remove the old concrete cleanly and efficiently, then take the time most contractors skip, precision grading and sub-base preparation to ensure proper compaction before a single yard of new concrete is poured.
That matters. In Colorado’s expansive soil conditions, a driveway replacement is only as good as what’s underneath it. We reinforce new pours with rebar or wire mesh depending on the application, design for proper drainage, and pour concrete that’s engineered for strength and longevity, not just curb appeal, though you’ll get that too.
This service is ideal for property owners dealing with:
-Trip hazards from settled sidewalk panels or lifted slabs
-Drainage issues pushing water toward the foundation
-Structural failure, severe cracking, or surface spalling
-Driveways and garage floors that have outlived their useful life
Because we understand the expansive soils that make Denver concrete work so demanding, we build every replacement to resist the movement that caused the original failure in the first place. Clean tear-out. Proper prep. Strong pour. Finished right.
Not every settled slab needs to be torn out. In fact, most don’t.
Polyurethane foam lifting: sometimes called polyjacking or concrete leveling is a fast, non-invasive alternative to full replacement. We drill small, dime-sized injection holes through the affected slab and pump a high-density expanding polyurethane foam beneath it. The foam fills voids, compacts loose soil, and lifts the concrete back to its proper elevation with remarkable precision.
The advantages over traditional replacement are significant:
-Speed. Cure time is measured in hours, not days. Drive on your driveway the same day.
-Cost. Foam injection is typically a fraction of the price of full concrete replacement.
-Minimal disruption. No demolition, no heavy equipment tearing up your yard, no days of mess.
Waterproof stability. Polyurethane foam is hydrophobic — it won’t wash out, won’t degrade, and actually helps prevent the soil erosion that caused the settlement in the first place.
Longevity. The material is engineered to withstand heavy loads and continued soil movement for the long term.
We use foam injection on sunken driveways, uneven sidewalks, settled patios, garage floors, pool decks, and interior slabs. If your concrete is structurally sound but simply out of level, foam lifting almost always beats replacement and we’ll tell you honestly when it does and when it doesn’t. That’s been our approach since day one.
Every crack in Colorado concrete tells the same story: water is getting in, and if you ignore it long enough, the freeze-thaw cycle is going to turn a hairline into a half-inch fault line. Our crack chasing and sealing service stops that story before it ends badly.
The process starts with mechanical grinding, we “chase” the crack with a specialized tool to open it up into a clean, uniform channel. That’s a step a lot of DIY fixes skip, and it’s the difference between a repair that holds for a decade and one that fails by next spring. Opening the crack properly gives the sealant something to bond to, and thorough cleaning removes the debris and contaminants that otherwise prevent adhesion.
Then we apply a high-performance, flexible sealant engineered to expand and contract with the concrete through Colorado’s extreme temperature swings. The result:
-Water intrusion is stopped, which prevents the soil erosion and washout that undermines slabs from below
-Freeze-thaw damage is halted before a minor crack becomes a structural one
-The slab’s lifespan is meaningfully extended at a fraction of the cost of replacement
-Appearance improves, restoring the look of driveways, patios, garage floors, and sidewalks
Crack chasing and sealing is one of the most cost-effective preventative maintenance investments a homeowner can make. It’s ideal for driveways, garage floors, sidewalks, patios, expansion joints, and structural slabs, anywhere a crack has appeared and water is finding its way in.
There are plenty of concrete contractors in the Denver area. What makes Rocky Mountain Steel Piering different is what’s always made us different: we come at concrete from a structural engineering perspective.
We’ve spent 30 years diagnosing and correcting what goes wrong beneath buildings in Colorado, the expansive clays, the perched water tables, the slope failures, the settlement patterns. That experience doesn’t get set aside when we pour a driveway. It informs every grading decision, every drainage consideration, and every recommendation we make about whether your slab needs replaced, lifted, or sealed.
We’re also a family-owned business that’s held a BBB A+ rating since 2003. Engineers and design professionals across the Front Range specify our work because they trust our process. Homeowners hire us because we tell them the truth about what their concrete actually needs, not what pads the invoice.
Whether you’re dealing with a cracked driveway, a settled sidewalk, a sunken patio, or a garage floor that’s seen better days, our team is ready to take a look and give you an honest assessment. If replacement is the answer, we’ll build it to last. If foam lifting will save you thousands, we’ll tell you. If a simple crack seal is all you need, that’s what we’ll recommend.
That’s how we’ve operated since 1996, and that’s how we’re approaching every new concrete project that comes through our doors.
