Why Norman homes need these repairs

Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma, with many renters, older homes near campus and newer subdivisions east and west. The city blends Lake Thunderbird water with well water from the Garber-Wellington aquifer, so hardness varies, and red clay, ice storms and summer heat drive slab, freeze and water heater calls.
