Why Foundation Movement Matters in Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, we deal with expansive clay soil — it swells when it rains and shrinks when it’s dry. This natural movement can cause concrete slabs to shift and settle over time.Other common causes include plumbing leaks, poor soil compaction during construction, and drainage issues.
Fortunately, these early-stage issues are highly manageable — and addressing them now can help you avoid far moCommon warning signs include but are not limited to the following:
- Cracks in brick, drywall, or concrete
- Doors or windows that stick, drag, or no longer latch properly
- Sloping, sinking, or uneven floors
- Separation gaps around trim, walls, doors, windows, and even baseboards and floors
- Cracks on exterior walls and near windows, doors, or garage openings

Free Foundation Health Check FAQ
Is the OFS Free Foundation Health Check a real foundation inspection?
No. The OFS Free Foundation Health Check is an informational tool, not a structural inspection. It helps homeowners better understand possible signs of foundation movement, but an in-person evaluation is needed to assess a home directly.
How long does the Free Foundation Health Check take?
The quiz takes about two minutes and includes a few simple questions about symptoms you may be seeing around your home.
What is the OFS Stability Scale?
The OFS Stability Scale is a simple way to help homeowners understand possible foundation concerns based on visible symptoms. The scale includes three stages: Preventative Stage, Corrective Stage, and Critical Stage.
What are common signs of foundation problems?
Common signs include cracks in exterior brick or drywall, sticking doors and windows, uneven floors, separation gaps around trim, windows, frieze boards, doors; cracks around windows or garage openings, and movement around exterior walls.
Does every crack mean I need foundation repair?
No. Some cracks are minor and may only need to be monitored. Other cracks may be connected to foundation movement. The OFS Free Foundation Health Check can help you decide whether a professional evaluation may be needed. If you are unsure of what your situation is or what it demands, then you can always call us directly or make an online appointment on our website to set up an in-person, free, comprehensive evaluation from one of our expert inspectors.
Why do Oklahoma homes have foundation issues?
Settlement of a home’s foundation is often a result of the expansion and contraction of Oklahoma’s expansive clay soil. The soil expands when it receives moisture, and it contracts when it experiences moisture loss or drought. This can cause structural imbalances and visible signs of foundation related issues.
What happens if my quiz result is Corrective Stage or Critical Stage?
If your result suggests Corrective Stage or Critical Stage, then scheduling a free foundation evaluation can help you get clearer answers. Oklahoma Foundation Solutions will review the symptoms, explain what may be happening, and recommend only what is needed. No more and no less.
Does Oklahoma Foundation Solutions provide free evaluations?
Yes. OFS offers free, no-obligation foundation evaluations for homeowners who want a professional opinion beyond the quiz.
