Permanent structural underpinning, polyurethane slab leveling, and crawl space stabilization engineered specifically for OKC's expansive Permian red clay soils.
Oklahoma City sits atop high-plasticity Permian red bed shale and smectite clay. During hot, dry Oklahoma summers, these expansive clay soils shrink dramatically, leaving voids beneath concrete footings. In heavy spring storms, the clay swells up to 25%, causing tremendous uplift and shearing pressures.
Standard concrete pad underpinning fails in OKC because it rests in active seasonal soil zones. Our certified hydraulic steel push piers drive directly through this volatile red clay until they anchor solidly into load-bearing Permian sandstone bedrock (typically 20 to 35 feet deep).

Precision high-density foam injection to lift sunken garage slabs, interior floors, patios, and pool decks across OKC without messy mudjacking.
Sagging floor leveling, rotted joist sistering, heavy-duty adjustable steel support jacks, and 20-mil sealed vapor barrier encapsulation in OKC homes.
Exterior deep French drain trenches, surface catch basins, downspout extensions, and sub-slab sump pump systems to keep water away from OKC foundations.
Deep foundation helical screw piles, micropiles, and high-capacity push pier brackets for multi-family, retail strip centers, and industrial facilities in OKC.
We provide accurate digital millimeter elevation mapping inside and outside your Oklahoma City home with an itemized engineering proposal.
Location: NW 63rd & Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK
Problem: 2.4-inch foundation settlement across southeast brick corner following severe summer drought, causing stair-step brick fractures and sticking French doors.
Solution: Installed 14 dual-stage hydraulic steel push piers driven to refusal at 26.5 feet into Permian sandstone bedrock. Raised foundation 2.2 inches back to original level and sealed fractures.
Specific local information regarding permits, costs, and soil behavior in OKC.
In the Oklahoma City metro, load-bearing Permian sandstone bedrock is generally encountered between 18 to 32 feet below the surface. Our hydraulic gauges verify when every pier reaches true load-bearing refusal (up to 10,000 PSI).
Yes, structural alterations, pier installations, and major structural underpinning in Oklahoma City require a permit and compliance with the 2018 IRC. We handle all city filings, engineering certifications, and final inspections for you.
Most residential steel piering projects in OKC range between $4,500 and $14,000 depending on the number of piers required ($1,200 to $1,800 per steel pier). Polyurethane slab leveling averages $1,200 to $3,200. We provide an exact, itemized quote during your free survey.
