Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repair In Lakewood, CO
Driveways, walkways, and patios crack or sink across Lakewood as clay-heavy soils expand and contract through the region’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Liftech repairs this with polyurethane foam injection, lifting and stabilizing existing concrete without demolition or extended downtime.
Liftech is headquartered right in Lakewood at 12870 W Alameda Parkway, not just an outside company that services the area. That means the same crews handling concrete leveling also cover foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and new concrete pouring, so a homeowner dealing with a sinking driveway and a cracked foundation wall doesn’t need two separate contractors. Liftech has built a track record locally with more than 1,000 Google reviews from Lakewood and Denver-metro homeowners.

Concrete Leveling in Lakewood, CO
Lakewood’s clay-heavy soils near Green Mountain and the older fill material under neighborhoods like Belmar and Applewood shift with changing moisture levels, and that movement is what sinks driveways, tilts patios, and cracks sidewalks. Concrete poured decades ago has had more time to settle, but newer construction isn’t immune either, especially where grading or drainage wasn’t built for Colorado’s moisture swings.
Liftech corrects this with polyurethane foam injection instead of full replacement. The foam is injected through small holes to fill the voids beneath a slab, lifting it back to its original position, curing within minutes, and leaving the surrounding yard and landscaping untouched. Older mudjacking methods use a heavy slurry that can wash out or add weight to soil that’s already unstable, where polyurethane stays lightweight and water-resistant.
We level driveways with uneven slope or standing water, garage floors with hollow spots or sunken sections, sidewalks and walkways with trip hazards, patios that have pulled away from the foundation, and interior slabs or basement floors showing movement. Whatever the surface, the same foam injection process applies, and most jobs are completed in a single visit without the demolition or downtime a full replacement requires.
Foundation Repair in Lakewood, CO
Homes near Green Mountain, Morse Park, and south Lakewood were mostly built in the mid to late 20th century, and their foundations are now showing the effects of age combined with decades of ground movement. Newer construction along Kipling and Union isn’t exempt either, particularly where a lot was backfilled or drainage wasn’t planned properly.
Warning signs include stair-step cracks in masonry, floors that feel uneven or soft in places, doors and windows that stick or won’t close flush, gaps opening between trim and flooring, and water coming in after a heavy storm. Left unaddressed, cracks widen and let moisture into the wall system, floors continue to settle unevenly, and in severe cases a bowing wall loses enough strength that it needs full replacement instead of stabilization.
Liftech installs helical piers beneath a settling foundation to anchor it into stable soil, wall stabilization systems for basement walls that are bowing or shifting inward, and crack repair matched to how the crack formed and how far it’s progressed. Diagnosing which of these a home actually needs matters, since anchoring a foundation that only needed crack repair wastes money, and patching a crack over a foundation that’s still moving means redoing the work later.
Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Encapsulation in Lakewood, CO
Water gets into a Lakewood basement from several directions at once. Snowmelt runoff off Green Mountain, sudden summer downpours, and grading that doesn’t direct water away from the house all put pressure on aging basements built without modern waterproofing. Damp walls, a musty smell, or discolored flooring are usually the first indication, and left alone that moisture leads to wood rot, mold, and foundation damage. Crawl spaces face the same exposure since many are vented or left unsealed, letting humidity, pests, and outside air in from below.
Liftech installs interior drain systems to capture and redirect groundwater, a sump pump with battery backup options so it keeps running through a power outage, vapor barriers and wall sealing for basements, and full encapsulation using heavy-duty liners, rigid insulation, and air sealing for crawl spaces. Homes near Alameda, in the hills above Union, or in older properties off Wadsworth get a system tailored to that property’s layout, soil, and drainage rather than a one-size fit.
We Also Convert Crawl Spaces to Basements
Converting a crawl space to a basement adds real, usable square footage, a media room, bedroom, or home gym, without the cost and disruption of popping the top or building an addition. You can stay living in the house the entire time the work is done. The added value of that livable square footage typically outweighs the conversion cost.
New Concrete Pouring in Lakewood, CO
When repair isn’t enough, or when you’re ready to upgrade, Liftech pours new concrete for homes throughout Lakewood, whether that’s replacing a damaged driveway, adding a patio, or starting fresh with a garage floor or basement slab. Homes from the foothills near Green Mountain to the older streets around 6th Avenue face the same underlying issue, frost heave, poor grading, or age eventually make replacement the better investment over continued repair.
The process covers demolition and removal of the damaged concrete, site preparation and grading for stability and drainage, formwork and high-strength flatwork pouring, and finishing for a durable, consistent surface. Liftech pours driveways, garage and basement floors, walkways, entry steps, porches, and patios.
Every new pour is built to handle Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles from the start, the same condition responsible for the settlement problems that lead to concrete leveling and foundation repair in the first place.
