Why Post-Tension Foundations Are Ideal for Oklahoma Homes
Oklahoma’s unique mix of expansive clay soil and shifting weather patterns can be tough on traditional concrete foundations. Soil movement can cause standard slabs to crack or shift, leading to costly repairs down the road.
Post-tension foundations are specifically engineered to handle those changes. The built-in tension gives the slab strength and flexibility to resist soil expansion, contraction, and settlement — meaning your home stays stable year after year.
Benefits You’ll Notice (Even If You Can’t See Them)
1. Superior Strength & Durability
The tensioned steel cables create internal compression, making the slab stronger than traditional rebar foundations.
2. Fewer Cracks & Shifts
Because the foundation can “flex” with the soil instead of breaking, it reduces the risk of structural cracks in your walls or floors.
3. Cost-Effective Protection
While it’s a more advanced engineering method, post-tensioning helps avoid major repair costs over time — protecting your investment from the ground up.
4. Ideal for Oklahoma Soil Conditions
Our local soil types are prone to swelling and shrinking with moisture changes. Post-tension foundations are designed to handle these exact conditions.
5. Peace of Mind Built In
It’s one of those features you don’t think about every day — but you’ll be glad it’s there. Every Two Structures home starts with a foundation that’s engineered to last.
