Edmond grew from a small railroad and college town into one of the largest cities in the metro, and its housing reflects every stage. Streets near downtown and the University of Central Oklahoma hold older homes, many on pier and beam foundations with low crawl spaces. Neighborhoods built from the 1960s through the 1980s include plenty of ranch homes over crawl spaces, while most newer subdivisions north and east of town sit on slabs.
In the older parts of Edmond, the usual problems are bare soil, original wood piers and shims that have crushed over time, and floors that slope toward the center of the house. In ranch homes from the growth years, ductwork running through a vented crawl space sweats every July, soaking insulation and feeding mold on the joists above.
Red clay that swells after spring storms and shrinks in late summer adds movement to all of it. Our crew works in Edmond every week and starts with a free inspection so we can tell a moisture problem from a support problem before quoting.
