Why is my Foundation Failing?
Many foundations in Oklahoma rest on dense, clay soil that is susceptible to erosion.
Clay soils also tend to be active, which means that it does a great deal of shrinking and swelling depending on moisture content. This fluctuation can cause foundation damage to your home, and the shrink portion of the shrink/swell cycle can cause your foundation to settle into the ground.
While there are other potential causes for foundation problems (including having a poorly constructed foundation), in most cases for slab or basement foundations it is a sign that the soil beneath your home isn't able to provide the necessary support to keep your foundation level.
How Do You Know You Have Foundation Problems?
A sinking or settling foundation can cause many structural issues in your home, including:
- Sloping and uneven floors
- Tilting chimney
- Wall cracks, ceiling cracks, and floor cracks
- Doors and windows that won't close all the way
- Concrete stairs pulled away from the porch
- Cracked and uneven garage floor

Foundation Repair Solutions
The good news is that, in spite of many destructive elements, long-term stability for your home's foundation can still be achieved. Pierman Foundation Repair Services of Oklahoma has many years of experience in doing just that. In many situations, solid foundation support can be established by extending the support system of your foundation to a greater depth, to a stable layer of soil that is less likely to settle and shift. One method to accomplish this is referred to as "foundation underpinning", which is a very wise investment for the long-term stability of your home.
Underpinning Products
Pierman Foundation Repair Services uses underpinning products to lift and stabilize a foundation that has shifted and settled.
The piers are placed below the footing of the home and sunk down to either bedrock or a layer of soil strong enough to support the weight of the house without the pier sinking. The house is then hydraulically lifted until level and the weight of the house is transferred onto the piers.
At Pierman, we stand behind the strength of the piers that we use, choosing only the best so that you get a foundation repair solution that solves your problem permanently the first time.
Most underpinning piers are made out of concrete or steel. The problem is, most concrete-only underpinning products either don't reach deep enough below the surface or have a greater likelihood of deflection during the installation process. Most steel-only piers are offset, which can place strain on the footing. At Pierman Foundation Repair Services, we use combination concrete and steel piers that, along with combining the strength of both materials, also can extend deep underground when needed and are also concentric, meaning they are installed directly below the footing, the configuration easiest on your home's footing.
