Marshall, Oklahoma | Pierman Foundation Repair Services
The layer of soil that your home sits on the the weakest layer of soil. Soil layers gain stability and load-bearing capacity at a greater depth.
Because of this, the soil layer beneath your foundation is constantly shifting
and moving due to the constant cycle of wet and dry periods. The soil expands
when wet and shrinks when dry. Your foundation will move along with this weaker
soil layer and cause your home to have structural damage and foundation failure.
Being aware of the signs of foundation problems is the first step in preventing further damage to your Marshall, OK home. Some of the signs to watch for are:
- Sloping floors
- Bowing walls
- Wall cracks
- Floor cracks
- Leaning chimney
- Garage column problems
- Doors and windows that stick
- Stair and stoop problems
- Beam and post problems
At the first signs of foundation problems, contact the professionals at Pierman Foundation Repair Services. We have the solutions to get your foundation back to its original level and stabilized again. Our underpinning products are installed deep into the earth to the load bearing bedrock which is composed of either rock of very stable soil.
Pierman Foundation Repair Services uses helical piers and steel push piers for underpinning. After the installation of these piers, they are individually load tested and then the entire structure is lifted onto these load bearing piers, stabilizing the foundation. If your Marshall, OK home has bowing or leaning walls, we use helical tiebacks to straighten them. These helical tiebacks are installed by drilling a small hole from the inside, then with exterior excavation, the wall is immediately pulled back to its original level.

This is done by installing a 4" drain pipe beneath the foundation that drains the water away from the foundation. Interior waterproofing is done by installing a perforated drain pipe inside the perimeter of the footing. This drain pipe is then connected to a sump pump that drains the water from the sump pit. We also offer a surface drainage system that eliminates surface water from pooling around the foundation. If you have a wet crawlspace, we install a vapor barrier for crawl space encapsulation that will keep water and moisture out of the crawl space.
