Atoka, Oklahoma Foundation Repair Solutions

Atoka, Oklahoma is an area that experiences an average annual precipitation near 46 inches, which is a relatively high average. With this much rain Atoka, Oklahoma is likely to experience issues when it comes to foundation failure. Moisture, such as rain water, can lead to structural problems such as:

• Floor cracks
• Ceiling cracks
• Sticking doors or windows
• Sloped or uneven floors
• Wall cracks
• Bowing or leaning walls
• Crumbling foundation
• Wet basement
• Settlement

If you notice these problems in and around your home you will definitely want to call us here at Pierman Foundation Repair Services. We are a team of experienced professionals that specializes in foundation repair and waterproofing. We have the tools and knowledge to give you the best possible waterproofing and foundation repairs. If you experience these problems and wonder how they may have effected your home, there are a variety of factors that can lead to foundation failure, including:

• Erosion: Excess water can also lead to erosion, which washes away soil beneath and around the home to form voids and spaces; these voids can't support your home's foundation, and it begins to settle as a result.
• Soil shrinkage: The shrinking of soil due to dry, drought-like conditions can also cause foundation sinking and void formation, as the soil moves and shifts to create spaces.
• Poor soil compaction: If the soil beneath your home was poorly compacted at the time it was built, it will settle over time on its own, taking the foundation of your home with it.
• Hydrostatic pressure: If the soil around your home absorbs a large amount of water due to severe rain, the hydrostatic pressure in the soil will increase, causing the foundation to shift or crack.

If your home's foundation begins to settle, we provide underpinning services with steel push piers or helical piers, depending on your specific situation, which we can install in order to anchor your home into load bearing soil to support the structure. It will also stabilize and lift the foundation. Some other common problems such as shifting or cracking foundations may require helical tiebacks to pull the foundation back into place. This will help to repair bowing or leaning foundation walls, another common foundation failure problem. We also offer polyjacking services to fill voids beneath your home's foundation, which will lift and stabilize the structure as well.
