A strong foundation is critical for every property in Oklahoma City, as a faulty one can lead to massive structural problems in your building – and the large repair bills that accompany them. While some problems are easy to identify (such as cracks in the walls and floors), others are more difficult to detect and require evaluation by experts.

At PowerLift Foundation Repair, we are more than aware of the trouble a faulty foundation can cause, and want to mitigate this by offering the best service, as well as information that will help business owners. With that in mind, here are some things you need to know about foundations and their repair.

Some of the main causes of foundation failure include the following:

  • Poor soil preparation: If the fill is not compacted properly, the foundation will not be strong enough to support the weight of the structure.
  • Water problems: Poor site drainage or plumbing leaks can cause cracks in the foundation. Oversaturation causes soil to become destabilized over time.
  • Poor construction: Another cause of foundation movement is simply due to negligence from the builders during the construction process.

The exact cause of foundation failure varies for each structure, but addressing the problem sooner rather than later will help you to avoid costly repairs in the future. The good news is that you can prevent further damage with installations of steel piers to stabilize the property.

If you see any signs of foundation failure, additional support must be added to the property and the POWERLift system is an innovative process that is highly effective for stabilizing structures.

Here is what you can expect from our commercial foundation repair services in Oklahoma City:
