Edmond Sun features Power Lift Foundation Repair

By Van Mitchell – Edmond Sun

okc foundation repairRandall McCown starts his day in Edmond going to appointments and working his way south to Norman meeting with potential customers for Power Lift Foundation Repair.

And, during those meetings he echoes the same message that is a standard bearer for Power Lift.

“We have spent a lot of years being old-school,” he said. “We tell the truth. We do the best job. All the engineers recommend us. Our objective is to give our customers an honest and competitive evaluation. I will explain to you so that you understand what it means, what is happening and how we are going to repair it.”

Power Lift is one of the oldest and largest independently owned structural repair companies in the United States serving both residential and commercial foundation repair concerns for 30 years. Power Lift Foundation Repair headquarters are in Ada, Oklahoma.

Their services include the installation of hydraulically driven steel piers, helical steel piers, pressure grouting, masonry repair and many other structural repairs.

“Our reputation with homeowners, architects, engineers and property management professionals across the United States has been the strength for our continued growth and stability,” said Bill Bolin, President of Power Lift. “Our dedicated management staff, experienced pier installers, and state of the art equipment have kept Power Lift at the leading edge of advanced foundation repair.”

McCown said Power Lift serves customers across Oklahoma and nationwide.

“The reason that people call is that they have cracks in bricks, sheetrock, drywall,” he said. “It is due to the expansive clay soil that contracts when it dehydrates when it is dry or expands when it is wet.”

Power Lift’s foundation repair system is designed and engineered to raise and stabilize residential and commercial structures, providing the best possible results. Made with all new materials, Power Lift pilings offer extra strength and maximum corrosion resistance, as well as a lifetime guarantee.

“Most of the repairs are by utilizing engineering-approved deep steel piers to bedrock that repair the areas that are needed,” McCown said. “Power Lift sets the industry standard by providing the highest-strength patented steel pier system on the market.”

McCown said Power Lift has done a variety of work in Edmond for homeowners, realtors, builders, the City of Edmond, Othello’s and the University of Central Oklahoma.

Terry F.M. Hunt, President Mid-Plains Electric Co., Inc. praised Power Lift in a letter for work the company did on his daughter’s home.

“I met with four different foundation repair companies to get prices to fix my daughter’s house in Stillwater,” Hunt wrote. “While you were not the cheapest, it was clear-from the start who was the most knowledgeable and professional. I have never seen a crew work so hard and get along with each other so well. Moreover, it was the informal, prompt and enthusiastic approach to getting the job done that we appreciated.”

McCown said Power Lift has worked hard to build a reputation that is trusted by homeowners, builders, realtors and engineers alike.

“For over 30 years, we have trained and assembled the largest team of professional installers and design specialists in the country,” he said. “We built a reputation with engineers, builders and realtors. Our call back ratio is less than one percent.”

Pioneer of U.S. Foundation Repair Industry Outlines Five Step Process of Common Repairs As Season Starts

ADA, OK – PowerLift Foundation Repair, the largest independent repair contractor and a pioneer in the US foundation repair industry for over 30 years, continues its long-standing practice of releasing consumer tips for foundation repair and replacement. As the foundation industry enters its peak season in the Midwestern and Southeastern US, PowerLift provides a five (5) step- process for reliable foundation repairs and stabilization.

PowerLift Founder & President, Bill Bolin, said his firm has a relationship responsibility to publish guidelines on its website entitled “Choosing A Foundation Repair Specialist” and providing helpful consumer information to home owners about the various techniques and applications involved in the foundation repair and stabilization process.

“PowerLift has always been free with resourceful information about the foundation repair and system process because we believe an informed consumer makes good and informed decisions.” Bolin said. “Unfortunately, industry growth has brought some contractors who quickly come and go from the business and distribute some misinformation and untested processes that confuses many people at the critical time they are making repair decisions on their biggest investment – their home.”

The five (5) customary foundation repair processes are:

1). Hydraulically Driven Steel Piers: PowerLift provides a patented steel pier lifting system for perimeter foundations and interior floor slabs. Its interior slab system is the most effective assembly available to lift and stabilize floor slabs for residential and commercial structures.

2). Helical Piers: PowerLift is an industry leader in manufacturing and installation of helical piers for residential and commercial structures. Its patented helical piers, combined with its proprietary, synchronized, hydraulic-lifting system, is one of the best options available to lift and stabilize foundations on residential and commercial structures. As a result, PowerLift piers are recommended by architects, structural engineers and construction professionals across the US.

3). Pre-Construction: PowerLift installs helical piers to support new foundations in the pre-construction process for all types of residential, commercial and industrial buildings. It designs, manufactures and installs single and multiple-flight helical piers using a wide range of pile diameters to provide the required load capacity customized to each project.

4). Foam Injection: PowerLift pioneered concrete slab lifting with high density polyurethane foam injection, which provides a light-weight, yet expansive, and economical lifting option to stabilize settled and sinking concrete in many residential, commercial and industrial projects.

5). Mud Jacking: Is a process of mixing water with concrete that is pressure pumped to lift and stabilize settled concrete by filling voids beneath concrete slabs on residential, commercial and industrial properties.

PowerLift Foundation Repair, founded and still based in Ada, OK, since 1986, pioneered foundation repair and steel pier foundation systems in the US with patented equipment and lifetime warranties. With a BBB A+ rating over three decades, PowerLift, has repaired over 25,000 residential, commercial and industrial foundations in its primary market areas of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina and several other states.

Beware of Cheap Foundation Repair Companies!

Cheap Foundation Repair companies are here today and gone tomorrow!  Just like in most cases you get what you pay for!  You only advertise to have the Cheapest Price Guarantee if you don’t have anything else to promote your company with!  These companies use non-reinforced Concrete Pressed Piles.

Beware of Cheap Foundation Repair Companies!2017-06-12T21:23:37+00:00

Beware of The Cheapest Price Guarantee for Foundation Repair!

Foundation Repair in Oklahoma is not always a successful experience.  Beware of companies who advertise having a Cheapest Price Guarantee; those companies usually don’t have anything else to offer.  Most of these companies install non-reinforced pressed concrete piles, the material costs are minimal and in return their performance is minimal.  Pressed piles simply don’t work well in Oklahoma’s clay soils!  Several of these pressed pile companies have come and gone in Oklahoma over the past few years leaving 100’s of homeowners with no warranty or no service after a short time.

A warranty is only as good as the company that provides the service; don’t be fooled by a cheap Foundation Repair job.  In most cases you get what you pay for!  You will be very disappointed when your house starts moving again and there is no one there to take your call.  Powerlift has over 30 years’ experience in the structural repair industry and we can tell you with experience that shallow non-reinforced concrete piles usually fail when installed in expansive clay soil conditions.

Engineers will tell you that pressed concrete piles simply don’t work well in expansive clay soils; a deeper pier is a better pier!  Powerlift Steel and Helical piers provide the best performance available in expansive clay soils; Powerlift also provides all the latest in Poly-Urethane foam injection.

Powerlift is the Industry Leader for Residential and Commercial Foundation Repair!  If you see any of the common signs of foundation failure such as cracks in bricks or masonry, cracks in sheetrock, cracked or unlevel floors, if you have doors that drag or stick or if your fireplace is leaning away from the house, your home may be experiencing foundation failure.
