Common signs include stair-step cracks in brick, doors or windows that stick, sloping or bouncy floors, and gaps at the ceiling or floor. A single small crack isn't always a problem, but several signs together are worth having inspected.

Much of the soil in the area contains clay that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. Wet springs and hot, dry summers make that soil move, and the house can move with it.

It depends on the cause, the repair method, and how much of the house needs support. Small drainage fixes can be inexpensive, while piering can be a major project. Ask for a written quote and scope of work before you decide.

Often it doesn't cover damage from normal soil movement or settling, but every policy is different. Check your policy or call your insurance agent.

Some work may need a permit from the City of Lawton. Ask the company you hire whether your job needs one and who will pull it. Outside city limits, rules can differ.

Simple jobs can take a day. Larger piering or drainage projects can take longer. The company will give you a timeline after their inspection.
