Choosing between polyurethane foam and steel piers depends on whether you are addressing a cosmetic surface issue or a structural foundation problem. We offer both solutions and can help you determine the best fit for your specific site conditions in Colorado.
Polyurethane Foam Injection
Polyurethane foam is primarily used for Polyurethane Foam Lifting (also known as slab jacking). This method is best for:
Steel Helical Piers
We are The Experts in Steel Piers, which provide true foundation underpinning. Steel piers are the superior choice for:
As a family-owned and operated company since 1996, we recommend a professional on-site inspection to provide a custom-quote solution. While foam is a fast, cost-effective option for non-structural leveling, steel piers deliver the permanent stability required for structural restoration.

In a newly built home, it is common to see minor hairline cracks as framing lumber dries and shrinks or as the house initially “beds in” during its first year. However, you should begin to worry and seek a professional…
Whether a crack is structural or cosmetic depends largely on its orientation, width, and accompanying symptoms. While we often see vertical cracks that are purely cosmetic—resulting from the natural drying and shrinking of framing lumber—diagonal cracks at a 45-degree angle…
Distinguishing between normal settling and serious foundation movement involves looking at the size, direction, and surrounding symptoms of the cracks. While minor hairline cracks are a common part of a home’s “bedding-in” process, specific patterns often indicate a deeper structural…
In a new build, diagonal drywall cracks above door frames are a common occurrence, but their significance depends on their size and behavior. During the first year, framing lumber naturally dries and shrinks, and the foundation undergoes a “bedding-in” process.…
Seeing cracks in a brand-new home can be concerning, but it is important to distinguish between normal settling and structural distress. In new construction, framing lumber naturally dries and shrinks over the first year, which can produce minor hairline cracks.…
