Foundation Inspections for Home Buyers and Sellers

Free Inspections for Real Estate Deals

Foundation questions can stall a home sale. Pier King gives free foundation inspections across Oklahoma for buyers, sellers and real estate agents, with a written estimate if repairs are needed.

Our steel piers come with a lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner, which matters when a house changes hands.

Buying a Home With Foundation Questions

If your home inspector flagged cracks, sloping floors or sticking doors, a foundation repair inspection tells you what’s actually going on and what it would take to fix. We’ll look at the house inside and out, the crawl space if there is one, and the drainage around it, and give you a written estimate you can use in your negotiation.

Selling a Home

  • Know before you list. Oklahoma’s seller disclosure form asks about foundation problems and repairs. Getting an inspection first means no surprises once you’re under contract.
  • A transferable warranty helps. Pier King’s steel piers come with a lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner, so the buyer gets the same protection you had.
  • Past Pier King work? Call us. We can look up the work done on your home and the warranty that goes with it.

Structural Engineer Reports

Some buyers and lenders want a structural engineer’s report. We work with engineering firms across Oklahoma and can bid the repairs an engineer recommends. If you already have a report, send it with your request.

  2. A written plan and estimate. You get the repair we recommend, in writing, with no pressure. Ask about 0% financing W.A.C. and TTCU project loans.

Foundation Inspections for Home Buyers and Sellers: Common Questions

Is a Pier King foundation inspection really free?

Yes. We inspect the foundation, explain what we find and give you a written estimate if repair is needed, at no cost and with no obligation.

Should I get a foundation inspection before buying a house in Oklahoma?

If you see cracks, sloping floors, sticking doors, or the home inspector flags the foundation, yes. Oklahoma’s clay soils move with the weather, so it’s worth knowing what you’re buying before you close.

Can I use your written estimate in a real estate deal?

Yes. Buyers and sellers use our written estimate to understand the repair and plan around it. A Pier King steel pier warranty transfers to the next owner, which also helps when a house changes hands.

How fast can you inspect?

Common Causes of Foundation Problems

number 1 label
Soil type

Oklahoma’s clay soils swell when they get wet and shrink when they dry out. Homes built before soil testing was routine often weren’t designed for that movement.

number 2 label
Settling

All homes settle over time naturally, but if different parts of your home have sunk or sloped further than others, it’s time to call Pier King

number 3 label
Sloping

If your home site was improperly graded or it sits at the bottom of a hill, foundation problems could develop as a result of gradual soil and debris accumulation, flash floods, or erosion

number 4 label
Poor Drainage

If your home never had gutters, or sits on a hard soil bed, water accumulating around your foundation will eventually cause it to swell, shrink, or crack 

number 5 label
Plumbing Leaks

Even the smallest, slowest water leak from an underground pipe can cause extensive foundation problems 

number 6 label
Poor Construction

While most Oklahoma contractors are careful to build to code, some still take shortcuts resulting in foundation damage
