If you have lived in Muldrow, OK for a period of time, you are aware of some of the severe storms Oklahoma can
experience along with periods of drought conditions. These ever changing weather conditions can cause havoc on the foundation of your home or business in Muldrow, OK. The changing soil
conditions beneath the foundation can mean that your foundation may experience
damage and failure. The soil in Oklahoma is expansive soil which means that it
will heave when wet and shrink when dry. As the soil shifts beneath your

We use underpinning products such as steel piers and helical piers that are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil and then the entire structure is lifted onto the piers to level and stabilize it. These products are manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the best in the industry.
Helical tiebacks are used to repair bowing or leaning walls. These helical tiebacks consist of a long rod with a corkscrew end that attaches to a wall plate inside of the foundation wall. They are installed from inside the wall through a small hole. With exterior excavation, the wall is immediately pulled back to its original level.
