Here are our top three most frequently asked questions in foundation repair and their answers.
Foundation Repair Question I – Causes of Foundation Problems
-
What is a major cause of foundation problems or settlement for Oklahoma homes?
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. Click here to learn more about common causes and conditions of foundation issues in Oklahoma.
