Foundation Leveling & Stabilization

Foundation Leveling & Stabilization in Edmond, OK

When your foundation sinks or settles unevenly, the entire structure of your home is affected. Edmond’s clay-rich soil expands when wet and contracts during drought, creating constant movement that can destabilize your foundation over time.

Signs Your Foundation Needs Leveling

• Floors that slope noticeably from one side of a room to the other
• Gaps between walls and ceilings or walls and floors
• Doors and windows that stick, bind, or won’t close properly
• Cabinets pulling away from walls in the kitchen
• Visible gaps between the foundation and exterior walls
• Separating drywall seams and cracked ceiling corners

Our Leveling Methods

Steel Push Piers – Driven deep through unstable soil to bedrock or load-bearing strata. Ideal for heavier foundations and deep-seated settling.

Helical Piers – Screwed into the ground to provide tension and compression support. Best for lighter structures and areas with high water tables.

Slab Jacking (Mudjacking) – A cementitious grout is pumped beneath the slab to lift it back to its original position. Cost-effective for modest settling.

Polyurethane Foam Injection – High-density foam expands beneath the slab, lifting it precisely. Lighter, faster-curing, and more controlled than mudjacking.

The Leveling Process

1. Assessment – We survey your foundation and measure elevation differences across the structure
2. Diagnosis – Determine the cause: soil conditions, drainage issues, tree roots, or construction deficiencies
3. Plan – Recommend the appropriate method based on soil type, foundation construction, and budget
4. Lift – Install piers or inject material to raise the foundation in controlled increments
5. Verify – Re-measure elevations to confirm the foundation is level and stable
6. Backfill – Restore the work area to its original condition

Why Soil in Edmond Matters

Central Oklahoma is known for its Hefner silt loam and Dougherty loam soil — both highly expansive. These soils can swell up to 15% with moisture and shrink just as much during dry spells. This constant movement is the #1 cause of foundation issues in the region.
