Bixby, United States - January 8, 2024 /PressCable/ —
Local Broken Arrow-Tulsa, Oklahoma plumbing services companies such as Big C's Plumbing, owned and operated by Chris Ogan, have unofficially announced what they are calling the “Foundation Repair Checklist” for 2024, stressing tactics such as identifying potential foundation issues, seeking effective and long-term solutions and maintaining the foundation post-repair.
“As we step into 2024, being proactive about the health of a home’s foundation is more crucial than ever, with common issues that require immediate plumber attention to include visible cracks in both interior and exterior walls, signs of the house settling or sinking and doors/windows that no longer close properly,” explains Ogan. “These signs can be indicative of deeper structural problems and should not be overlooked; regular inspections, meanwhile, are essential for early detection - especially after extreme weather events like floods or droughts.

“We’ve been busy stressing to customers in the new year that cracks that expand over time, uneven flooring or gaps around window frames can escalate into major concerns if not addressed promptly. It’s not just about aesthetics; these issues can significantly impact the structural integrity and safety of a home.”
With the first step being identifying potential foundation issues and the next crucial phase being seeking effective, long-term solutions, experts like Ogan suggest consulting with foundation repair professionals that can provide tailored solutions based on specific structural needs. To that end, Big C’s recommends that key methods of repair include underpinning using various types of piers or pilings, sealing foundation cracks with appropriate materials and ensuring proper drainage around the home to prevent water-related damages.
“The right solution can vary greatly depending on the severity, location and type of foundation damage,” adds Ogan.
Preparing for professional foundation repair in 2024 involves several key steps, according to Oklahoma area plumbing experts, starting with clearing the area around a foundation to provide easy access for repair crews - a process that involves moving any landscaping, outdoor furniture or other obstructions. Another aspect to consider, says Ogan, is obtaining any necessary permits for the repair work because while professional repair companies will typically handle this, it is always wise for homeowners to be informed about the process.
“It is at this point that we recommend to our customers discussing any concerns about the impact of repair work on their property with their contractor, including landscaping, plumbing or electrical systems,” Ogan notes.
Crucial in the post-repair process is maintenance to ensure longevity of the repairs and the overall health of the foundation, with Tulsa professionals suggesting that regular monitoring for new signs of damage is vital. Oklahoma homeowners have been turning to companies like Big C’s to ensure proper soil moisture levels around the foundation, whether it involves adjusting landscape watering, installing proper drainage systems or modifying a watering schedule.
“Looking beyond immediate repairs, Broken Arrow homeowners should adopt long-term strategies for foundation care,” concludes Ogan. “This includes being mindful of any significant changes in a property’s landscape or environment that could affect the foundation such as large trees growing near the home, which can lead to root intrusion, and soil displacement - both of which can impact the foundation.”
