Oklahoma City is known for the amount of clay in its soil which is great for brick manufacturing, but can be a problem for your Oklahoma City home. On television you see numerous ads for pier companies that will stabilize you home, but before spending thousands of dollars, check with a structural engineer. Many times they will delay pier work to measure over 6 months to a year to see how rapid the movement is. Almost all homes in Oklahoma City settle with our often drought conditions but play it safe and hire a professional. If you need recommendations please contact me at joe@joepryor.com

I've gotten to the point that I no longer call foundation companies for an inspection. Now we go straight to the structural engineer. For the same price as a foundation company report, I can get a letter from a structural engineer.
In my market, home appraisers will generally require an engineer's report anyway. So why spend 2x the money?
