A Flexible Foundation Solution
Oklahoma homeowners, are you worried about your home’s foundation? Triton Foundation Repair has a solution for you: slab injection. But what is it, exactly?
Slab injection is a method of lifting an interior slab, patio, porch, driveway, or sidewalk. We use it when the foundation issue is related to interior settlement. It’s a preferred foundation repair method when dealing with interior doors that stick, gaps in baseboards, plumbing leaks, or patio/porch settlement.
Assessing Your Foundation
How do you know if your home needs foundation repair? Keep an eye out for these signs: interior doors that won’t close, cracks above doors, gaps in baseboards, or cracks in the slab. If you notice any of these indicators, it is time to give Triton Foundation Repair a call. We offer free foundation evaluations, so you will have an answer quickly.
Accommodating, Quality Techniques
While piers are effective for foundation repair, there are times when slab injection is the preferred way to go. We have used slab injection for customers around the state, including Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Yukon, Mustang and Edmond. According to our team of experts, this technique is generally less expensive, less intrusive, quicker, and cleaner.
Expertise Matters for Your Foundation
When it comes to foundation repair, experience matters – especially with slab injection. Inexperienced companies can lift too much (causing more harm than good) or too little (which won’t fix the problem). Luckily, our foundation specialists have more than 20 years of experience with slab injection. Triton knows how to repair your home’s foundation the right way.

WHY DOES SETTLEMENT HAPPEN?
If left untreated, settling can lead to unsightly cracks, difficulty opening/closing doors and windows, uneven floors, and even burst pipes. That’s why it’s crucial to address foundation problems quickly to avoid additional damage and costs.
Differential settlement occurs when one section of the foundation settles at a different rate than the rest. These issues are caused by poor soil conditions, inconsistent moisture content, poor building practices, or seasonal changes affecting the soil.
A helpful tip: remember to water your foundation during dry months and protect it from over-watering during wetter months with guttering. These good habits help maintain consistency with the soil and foundation (along with guttering and drainage).

WHY IS SLOPE MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?
If you discover ponding, consider re-contouring your property to create a slope that leads water away from your home. Otherwise, a sub-surface drainage system may be necessary.
It’s recommended that the slope of your property have at least a 5% slope for the first 5 feet away from your home or a 3-inch drop in that distance, and then taper off to a 1% slope from there. Ground cover, such as mulch or gravel, can be used to prevent erosion and minimize maintenance.
WHY SHOULD I REGULARLY INSPECT FLATWORK, SIDEWALKS, AND PATIOS?
Suppose you notice settling or sinking in your flat work. In that case, it’s important to re-level or re-pour it to correct any negative slope. If the slope is less than 1%, sealing all cracks and entrances to the soil below can help prevent water from seeping under the slab. A flexible urethane sealant, for example, can stop water from passing through.
It’s also important to note the barrier that should be present between the flat work and the slab. This barrier should be replaced regularly to keep moisture out. Keeping an eye on your concrete flatwork and taking action when necessary are the best steps to keep your property in great shape for years to come!
