Del City is an inner-ring suburb southeast of Oklahoma City, built up mostly in the 1950s and 1960s as Tinker Air Force Base grew next door. Many of its homes are modest brick ranches and cottages on crawl spaces, now more than 60 years old.
The most common Del City crawl space problems are tight clearance, bare soil, old plumbing leaks, rotted shims and settled piers. Floors in the middle of the house tend to drop as beams sag between supports, and rooms over damp crawl spaces smell musty in summer.
Low areas near Crutcho Creek can also hold water after heavy rain. We inspect for free, explain what we find with photos and quote the work in writing.

Crawl Space Notes for Del City Homes
- Tight clearance is common; it slows the work but rarely prevents a repair.
- Check under bathrooms and kitchens for old plumbing leaks that keep soil wet.
- Center beams in older homes often sag between widely spaced piers; new supports shorten the span.
- A sealed vapor barrier is the most cost-effective moisture fix for many Del City homes.

Many Del City homes do not need a large project. Replacing crushed shims, adding a few steel supports under the center beam and covering the soil with a sealed vapor barrier solves the most common problems at a modest cost. If humidity stays high afterward, encapsulation can be added later on top of the barrier.
