It works on both. The only thing that determines whether a slab is a good candidate for leveling is its structural condition, not how long it has been in the ground. If the concrete is intact and has not broken apart or crumbled, leveling is the right approach regardless of whether it was poured last year or fifteen years ago.
Concrete Leveling & Lifting Services in Severance, Colorado
Severance's Trusted Concrete Leveling and Lifting Company
Most sunken concrete problems are blamed on age. In Severance, that explanation does not hold. The town has grown rapidly since 2020, and nearly every home on nearly every street was built in the last five years. The driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garage floors that are showing problems right now are not old.
They were poured on disturbed fill soil that was never given time to fully consolidate, and that soil has been settling ever since. If your concrete has shifted on a property that is only a year or two old, the ground beneath it is the reason. If this is your situation, there is a solution, and that is to work with us.
Rapid Raise & Sprays provides concrete leveling in Severance and across Northern Colorado. We lift settled slabs back into position using a process that takes a few hours. If your concrete has shifted, the cause almost certainly starts with what is happening in the soil beneath it, and that is exactly what we fix.
What Is Concrete Leveling and Lifting?
Most Severance homeowners who call us have already assumed the worst. They have a slab that has dropped, and they think the answer is to tear it out and pour new concrete. That assumption makes sense if you do not know concrete leveling exists.
Leveling, sometimes called concrete lifting or concrete raising, corrects a settled slab in place by injecting material beneath it to fill the voids and bring the surface back to where it belongs. No demolition, no debris, no waiting days for a fresh pour to cure.
For a property where the concrete is structurally intact but has dropped due to soil movement, concrete repair through leveling is almost always the right first call. You get the slab back, the problem gets addressed at its source, and you spend significantly less than replacement would cost. We always recommend getting a free estimate before assuming that replacement is the only path forward, because in most cases it is not.
Warning Signs Your Severance Concrete Has Settled
New-construction homeowners often dismiss early concrete movement as normal settling and wait too long to address it. The earlier the signs are caught, the simpler and less costly the repair. Here is what to look for on a newer Severance property:
- Small cracks forming at control joints that were clean at move-in. These signal that the slab is beginning to move and the soil beneath is no longer providing even support.
- Poor drainage on a patio or pool deck that used to drain fine. A change in surface pitch is one of the clearest signs that the slab has shifted.
- A gap at the garage door threshold that is wider than it was six months ago. This almost always means the floor slab has dropped along the front edge.
- A sidewalk panel that rocks when you step near its center. Movement underfoot on a slab that should be solid means the void beneath it has grown large enough to allow flex.
- Uneven concrete between a driveway section and the road apron or between the driveway and the garage floor. Settlement rarely affects the whole slab evenly, so edge-to-edge height differences are one of the first visible signs.
Any of these is worth a free estimate. Catching void formation early means a faster, cheaper fix and less damage to the surrounding concrete.
Uneven concrete at your commercial property isn't something you can put off. It's a safety risk for your tenants, customers, and employees, and it's a liability that sits on you as the property owner.
With commercial concrete leveling, we get your slabs back where they should be, and we do it around your schedule so your business keeps running. We use the same polyurethane foam injection method we use on residential properties, scaled to handle larger areas and heavier loads.
Whether you manage an apartment complex, a strip mall, a hotel, or an agricultural operation with grain silos and pivot pads, we've handled projects like yours before.

ButtonConcrete Services We Offer in Severance
We handle residential and commercial concrete across Severance and assess every property honestly. If something does not need work, you will hear that. Here is a full look at the concrete services we provide.
Fill soil compresses unevenly under repeated vehicle weight, and in Severance, that process happens faster than most homeowners expect on a driveway that is only a year or two old. Driveway leveling targets the voids that form during that compression, fills them with polyurethane foam, and brings the slab back to a stable, even surface.
We assess the extent of the drop, inject precisely where support has gone missing, and get your driveway back to a surface you can use. For a driveway that is still structurally sound, this is a contained leveling job that solves the problem before it reaches the point of replacement.
Driveway Leveling
A panel that has dropped half an inch between two sections of sidewalk does not look like much until someone catches their foot on it. In a town full of young families and new neighborhoods, those trip hazards show up on properties that looked perfect at move-in.
Sidewalk and walkway leveling brings the shifted panel back flush with the surrounding concrete without disturbing what is sitting fine. We only lift what has moved, leave the rest exactly as it is, and eliminate the hazard in a single visit.
Sidewalk and Walkway Leveling
Settling beneath a patio or pool deck does not announce itself the way a sunken driveway does. What you notice first is that water no longer drains the way it should, or that the surface tips slightly toward the house instead of away from it.
Patio and pool deck leveling restores the grade so drainage runs in the right direction and the space feels solid underfoot again. We fill the voids beneath the slab and correct the pitch in place, protecting the surface and the foundation it sits against, without pulling up a patio you just finished landscaping around.
Patio and Pool Deck Leveling
The signs on a garage floor are easy to dismiss at first: a gap that keeps widening at the threshold, water that tracks in and puddles rather than draining toward the door, or a surface that no longer feels level under your feet when you are standing in it.
Garage floor leveling corrects those issues by filling the voids that formed beneath the slab and lifting it back into alignment. Because a garage floor meets fixed points like the door frame and interior walls, we work in careful increments, checking the slab's position as the foam expands so nothing gets pushed out of place.
Garage Floor Leveling
Concrete Lifting
Every service we provide, from driveways to commercial floors, is built on the same foundation: polyurethane foam injection for concrete lifting. We drill small 5/8" holes into the affected slab, inject foam beneath the surface, and let the material expand to fill the voids and apply upward pressure to the concrete above it.
The lift happens in real time and can be watched as it occurs. We control the rate and direction of the lift by managing injection points and pressure, which is what determines whether the result is precise or just approximately right.
Commercial Concrete Leveling
Severance's commercial corridor along Highway 392 has grown as fast as the residential neighborhoods around it, and the same fill soil conditions that affect new homes affect new parking lots, building pads, and commercial walkways.
Commercial concrete leveling uses the same polyurethane foam method scaled for heavier loads and larger surface areas, and we schedule around your hours so nothing has to close down while we work.
Here is a look at the commercial concrete services we provide in Severance:
Parking Lot Leveling The parking lots going in along Highway 392 are sitting on the same compacted fill soil as every residential driveway in Severance, and they are settling for the same reason. Sunken sections create drainage problems, safety hazards, and damage to vehicles crossing uneven joints. We lift settled parking lot slabs back into position, restore the surface grade, and get the lot functioning correctly without shutting it down during the repair.
Warehouse Floor Leveling Warehouse and industrial space along Severance's commercial corridor needs a floor that holds position under consistent load. An uneven slab is a safety issue for forklifts, racking systems, and anyone moving through the space on foot. We level settled warehouse slabs with the space's load requirements in mind, filling voids beneath the affected areas and bringing the surface back to the tolerance the operation requires.
Commercial Sidewalk Repair A raised lip or sunken panel on a commercial walkway is a liability that grows every hour it goes unaddressed. In a corridor where foot traffic is increasing alongside new development, that exposure matters. We bring shifted panels back flush with the surrounding concrete, eliminating trip hazards for customers, tenants, and staff without blocking access to the property during the repair.
Industrial Floor Stabilization High-load industrial operations need a floor that does not move. We use deep foam injection to fill voids and bind the soil beneath the slab into a stable base capable of handling the consistent, concentrated weight that industrial use puts on a concrete surface, including in the freeze-thaw conditions Northern Colorado delivers every winter.
Additional Concrete Services in Severance
Beyond lifting and leveling, we offer a few services that protect your concrete over the long term:
Joint sealing and crack repair
Closes the gaps between panels that let water work its way back underneath a freshly leveled slab.
Deep foam injection and soil stabilization
Goes further into the ground for situations where the soil keeps moving rather than holding position after a lift.
Penetrating concrete surface sealer
Locks moisture out of the concrete itself, extending the life of the slab through Northern Colorado's freeze-thaw cycling.
Each of these can be added to a leveling visit or scheduled as a standalone service.
Why New Construction in Severance Has a Concrete Problem
Severance's subdivisions went up fast. Land on the north and east ends of town was graded, filled, and compacted under builder timelines that prioritized speed, and the fill used to bring those lots to grade was never going to behave like undisturbed native soil. Fill compacts unevenly. It continues to settle after construction ends. And it responds differently to moisture and freeze-thaw cycling than the ground it replaced.
What that means in practice is that voids begin forming beneath slabs within months of a pour. The concrete itself is fine. It is sitting on a base that is still finding its level, and as that base shifts, the slab above it loses support along its edges and at its center. An inch of drop on one side of a two-year-old driveway is not a sign of a bad pour. It is what fill soil does when it has not had years to consolidate under load.
That is also why the fix matters. Polyurethane foam is lightweight, so it does not add pressure to a base that is still compressing. It is closed-cell, so it holds its position through the moisture and freeze-thaw cycling Northern Colorado delivers every winter. And it fills the void directly rather than adding weight above it, which is the fundamental problem with mudjacking on fill soil.
How a Concrete Leveling Project Works in Severance
From the first call to a finished surface, most Severance homeowners are done in the same day. Here is what the process looks like.

We Assess the Property and Give You a Clear Price
Our team comes to your Severance property, identifies which slabs have settled and what is driving it, and puts a number on the work. Carter is in direct contact with customers on every job and stays involved throughout.
The Lift
We drill small holes into the affected slabs and inject polyurethane foam beneath the surface. The crew stays active throughout, and you do not need to be present for the work itself. Access to the slab is all we need.
Done the Same Day
Every drill hole gets patched with matching concrete material, and the site is cleaned up before we leave. The foam cures in roughly 15 minutes, so there is no waiting around. Your driveway, patio, or walkway is ready for normal use the same day the job is finished.
Why Severance Homeowners Choose Rapid Raise & Sprays
We've Completed Roughly 1,500 Concrete Projects Across Northern Colorado
Since 2020, we have been leveling and lifting concrete throughout the region, from residential driveways to commercial warehouse floors. That volume of completed work under the same soil conditions and climate patterns that Severance operates in gives us a practical depth of experience that matters when we assess your property.
The Right Method for Fill Soil and Freeze-Thaw Conditions
Polyurethane foam is the right material for the ground conditions in Severance, not just the fastest option. Its lightweight composition matters when the soil is still consolidating. Because it's closed-cell, freeze-thaw cycles that push moisture through the ground season after season won't compromise it. For fill soil, a professional concrete leveling approach demands a material that stabilizes rather than adds load, which is exactly what polyurethane foam delivers.
A Clear Price Before Any Work Starts
We give you a straight estimate before anything happens on your property. The pricing reflects only what needs to be done. There are no hidden line items, and we do not build the quote around what we think you will accept. If three slabs need lifting and five are fine, you get a quote for three.

Concrete Leveling FAQs for Severance Homeowners
Cost depends on how many slabs need lifting, the total surface area involved, and how far each slab has settled. We give you a clear price before any work begins. What we can say, generally, is that leveling costs significantly less than replacement in the same area, and most Severance homeowners who have been quoted replacement are surprised by how much they save by leveling instead.
Most residential jobs in Severance are finished in a few hours. The polyurethane foam cures roughly 15 minutes after injection, so your concrete is ready for normal foot traffic the same day. For driveways, we typically recommend waiting a short period before driving on them; we will confirm this with you on-site based on the specifics of the job.
