Signs of Concrete Foundation Damage
Checking your foundation regularly is important for catching any early signs of damage. It is natural for your foundation to settle over time, but there are some signs of foundation stress you should look out for.
The signs of foundation damage include:
Cracked bricks.
Visibly cracked or broken foundation.
Wall rotation.
Displaced moldings.
Separation around the windows, walls, or garage door.
Uneven or cracked floors.
Cracked sheetrock.
If you notice any of the above, it is time to get your concrete foundation evaluated by the professionals at Oklahoma Foundation Solutions, LLC. The quicker you identify foundation damage, the easier, faster, and less expensive it is to repair.
What Is The Process For Concrete Foundation Repair?
Not all slab cracks require repair. Two common factors structural engineers and foundation repair companies take into consideration when determining if a slab crack needs repair are the length and width of the crack and any elevation change created by the crack. While interior piers can be installed to stabilize a settling interior concrete slab, one of the more common services foundation repair companies provide to address interior slab cracks is an engineer-approved process referred to as floor stitching.
Here’s a brief overview of our engineer-approved, five-step process for repairing interior slab cracks, which is commonly referred to as floor stitching:
Our 5-star rated crew members prepare the area where the work will be performed. We make every effort to contain dust and debris.
Once the area is prepared, we remove approximately four to six inches on each side of the slab crack.
Once the concrete is removed, we drill and pin epoxied rebar into the existing slab.
New concrete is then poured, and the old concrete is removed. This effectively ties the interior concrete slab back to one piece as opposed to the separate pieces the slab crack created.
The work area is thoroughly cleaned. We take pride in leaving the job site cleaner than we found it.
It is important to note that sometimes the slab cracks are so severe or prevalent that floor stitching is not a viable option. When this occurs, the service our company provides is partial or complete interior slab replacement.

OFS installs interior piers for homes that have experienced settlement with the interior concrete slab. Since each house is unique and moves differently, we can’t guarantee maximum elevation recovery or leveling. The primary intent of this service is to provide lasting structural stability to the areas where the work is performed.
Not all cracks warrant foundation repair. However, cracks in the brick or mortar of your home need to be evaluated by a foundation repair professional. At OFS, our evaluations and evaluation reports (when applicable) are free.
Differential 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 (i.e., rainfall), and it contracts when it experiences moisture loss (i.e., extreme heat with little rainfall). This can cause structural imbalances and visible signs of foundation-related issues. One sign of potential foundation-related issues on exterior walls is stair-step cracks in bricks and mortar. Depending on the severity/volume of cracks and other factors, foundation repair may be needed. Contact OFS today for a free evaluation and evaluation report (if applicable).
Concrete slab foundations are more common in newer homes. Pier and beam foundations are more common in older homes. OFS provides several engineer-approved services for both types of foundations that provide lasting structural stability and support.
