Foundation Repair
Our Comprehensive Residential Foundation Repair Solutions
At Liftech, we understand how Colorado’s shifting soils and harsh freeze-thaw cycles can damage your home from the ground up. That’s why we use proven, engineer-trusted methods like helical piers and structural reinforcement to stop the problem at its source and reduce the risk of it coming back.
Helical Piers
Helical piers are deep foundation systems that stabilize foundations that have settled due to unstable soil. They transfer the weight of a sinking or unstable structure down to deep, load-bearing soil or bedrock.
Foundation Wall Stabilization
Wall anchors and braces can help prevent wall movement. Additionally, Liftech can straighten walls that are already bowing. In short, if your walls aren't straight, it's time to call Liftech.
Foundation Crack Repair
Our experts seal and reinforce cracks in concrete foundations. This prevents water intrusion, which can lead to further damage and mold growth that weakens common foundation materials such as drywall and wood.
Floor Stabilizers & Joist Support
Floor stabilizers and joist support address sagging or unstable floors caused by weakened floor joists or beams. By supporting weakened joists or beams, they prevent further sagging, eliminate bouncy or uneven floors and ensure that the load from the floor is properly transferred to the foundation, maintaining the overall stability of your home.
Egress Window Installation & Repair
We provide egress window installation by trained professionals who include these safety features while maintaining the structural integrity of the foundation.
Micropiles
Micropiles are similar to helical piers, only they are typically used when deeper drilling is taking place within hard soil or a project requires high load capacity. Our services come with meticulous planning and a lifetime warranty.

TREES AND VEGETATION
The expansive root systems of large trees and plants can push against your foundation. In time they can even make their way under your foundation in search for moisture. This is often the cause of shifting and small, concentrated cracks. Root systems can also combine forces with other sources of failure. There, they can at times be the “root” cause of the problem.
INADEQUATE DRAINAGE
When not planned properly and graded correctly, the overall drainage in subdivisions and within individual lots can cause water to flow towards the structure, instead of away from it. Years of water intrusion around a structure can not only lead to potentially harmful moisture issues (e.g., mold), but also cause the foundation to shift and move.
POOR COMPACTION
Entire subdivisions and individual lots within them are often over-excavated in preparation for new homesites. This may also include the mixing of soils to equalize them and re-compacting them prior to structures being placed on top of them. When a foundation is not poured on stable soils and/or properly engineered to account for shifting soils, this can lead to lead to movement in the overlying structure.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
When gravity pushes down on large volumes of groundwater around your foundation, it increases hydrostatic pressure within the soil. This places lateral pressure on your foundation, which can cause it to shift and crack.
SOIL SHRINKAGE
Hot weather can sap soil of its moisture. So much like a kitchen sponge drying out on your counter, the soil will shrink and take up less space. Therefore when soil around your foundation dries out and shrinks, it leaves voids around your foundation. This can lead to sinking, settling, and shifting.
HEAVING
Expansive clays, including Bentonite, are found throughout Colorado’s Front Range. In areas with high concentrations of clay, the ground can swell. In time this can lift everything on top of it, foundations included. As soon as heaving can be identified contact a professional to find a solution.
EROSION
Heavy rain and snowmelt can eat away at the soft soils around and under your foundation. So over time, this can create voids. As a result these voids will cause your home to shift laterally or “settle” deeper into the ground.

Signs Of Settlement In Your Home
Stair stepping in bricks
As a home shifts and the foundation moves. As a result you will often see the exterior brickwork or siding start to break, and cracks will develop in the mortar between the bricks. Often the cracks will “stair step” up the exterior of the house.
Bowing & leaning walls
A leaning and moving foundation means that the walls sitting on top of that foundation will move as well. Often you will see the exterior walls fall “away” from the house. When the foundation breaks and moves laterally, walls will often bow in or out depending on the movement in the underlying foundation.
Cracks in the foundation
Hairline cracks in a foundation are fairly common as even the best constructed homes move slightly over time. But larger horizontal or vertical cracks that are greater than 1/8 inch or have lateral separation between them are usually signs of significant movement in the foundation that should be repaired.
Leaning chimneys
Many times chimneys are either tied to the foundation or they are sitting on their own footing. In the long run if the foundation or footing under the chimney shifts, without proper support the overlying tall & narrow structure of the chimney will start to fall away from the house. As a result leaving a potentially hazardous situation at your home.
Sagging rooflines
Movement in the areas supporting the roof (interior/exterior walls, pillars, trusses, etc.) will transfer to the overlying roof. As a result you will often see sagging or crooked roofs develop. Therefore it is wise to keep an eye on that roofline.
Crooked garage frames
Garages usually sit on foundation walls or footings. So as settlement occurs in those areas, the overlying structure of the garage will twist and bend. As a result, leaving the frame of your garage crooked. Often you will notice this when your garage door doesn’t seal properly along it’s perimeter or won’t open or close properly without binding up in the tracks.
Recognizing the Signs of Foundation Failure
In Colorado, homes face added pressure from seasonal changes and unpredictable soil movement. That makes early action even more important. When foundation problems are caught and repaired early, the solution is simpler, less invasive and more affordable.
Protecting your foundation is one of the most important steps you can take to preserve your home’s value and safety. If you’re seeing signs of damage, Liftech can help you understand what’s happening and recommend the right solution.
Here is a quick checklist to know if your home needs foundation repair:
- External signs: Stair stepping in bricks, cracks in the foundation, sagging rooflines, bowing and leaning walls, leaning chimneys and crooked garage frames.
- Internal signs: Cracking and popping sounds, sagging and uneven floors, cracked and bowed walls, drywall cracking and difficulty using doors and windows.
