Our Foundation Repair Approach
At Oklahoma Foundation Solutions, LLC, we have a variety of methods that we can use to help you take care of your foundation. The first thing we do is take a close, thorough look at your foundation with our trained inspectors to figure out what and where the issues are. Our experienced inspectors and chief technician with over 35 years of experience identify the foundation repair issues of need.
Usually, the issue of foundation may stretch farther than what you can see initially. Mold growth in the basement may signify a need for basement repair. Meanwhile, cracks on ceilings and walls might be signs of your home needing a crawl space repair.

We combine our unparalleled expertise as industry leaders with engineer-approved processes and innovative techniques. Our goal is to make sure that we not only remedy the issues with your foundation but also protect against future movement.

Causes, Signs, and Solutions for Foundation Problems
Foundation issues and problems reveal themselves in a variety of different ways. Understanding the causes of foundation issues and learning to identify signs of foundation problems is the first step to finding the correct solution to protect your most valuable asset.
Slab Foundations
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.
Some of the most common signs of foundation settlement caused by the expansion and contraction of Oklahoma’s expansive clay soil are:
- Cracks in the brick and/or mortar
- Separation gaps between brick and windows
- Separation gaps between brick and garage trim
- Displacement of the frieze boards
Crawl Spaces
In addition to the differential settlement of Oklahoma’s expansive clay soil discussed above, one of the most common causes of foundation issues in houses that have crawl spaces occurs when the span between the center beam or center stem wall and the exterior stem wall is too great and there is either no support or inadequate support between the span. Over time, the floor joists and framing can warp which can be a cause of sloped or spongy floors. This issue can be fixed with crawl space repair.
Common signs of foundation-related issues regarding crawl space:
- “Sloped” or “uneven” floors
- Spongy or bouncy feeling
- Slanted door facings
- Sheetrock cracks on ceilings and on interior walls
- Wood rot
Basements
Two major causes of foundation issues in basements are:
- Hydrostatic pressure: The majority of rainwater will end up in the soil that surrounds your home. When soil surrounding the basement walls is saturated with water, this causes hydrostatic pressure to build. The exterior water pushes against the walls (often with thousands of pounds of pressure) and can cause inward deflection (when basement walls are bowed or curved from outside to inside). Over time, this can lead to foundation problems.
- Expansive clay soil: The contraction and expansion described above can also cause sinking or settling of basement walls. Further, the outside pressure against a basement wall lessens when the soil contracts and increases when the soil expands. This can create lateral pressure on the basement wall.
Some of the most common signs of foundation issues in basements are:
- Stair Step Cracks and Horizontal Cracks on Basement Walls: Horizontal cracking often occurs near the middle of a basement wall. If left unchecked, these cracks often increase over time.
- Leaning, Tipping, or Shifting Basement Walls: The force from hydrostatic pressure on a basement wall can cause the wall to shift inward. The bottom row of blocks of the basement wall often remain in place as they are usually pinned into the concrete slab.
- Sinking Basement Walls: Basement walls can sink due to the shrinking of the soil due to compression, poorly compacted soil, water displacing the soil, causing soil erosion, and poorly constructed basement walls. The sinking basement walls show signs like drywall cracks, sagging and uneven floors, floor cracks, and so on.
- Basement Wall Failure: If neglected for too long, basement wall failure occurs.
If your home is showing any of these signs of potential foundation issues and problems, contact OFS today to schedule a free, no obligation evaluation.

Google Business ReviewI’d highly recommend these guys if you need foundation work. Estimate was honest and their price per pier was comparable to the 3 other companies I contacted. They worked quickly and cleaned up after they finished, leaving it difficult to even tell where the work was done.
