Foundation Repair & Waterproofing in Shirley Hills, Kansas City

Shirley Hills homes face specific challenges. Concrete block foundations here are prone to inward bowing due to lateral soil pressure. Many homes show 'stair-step' cracking in the block joints that requires wall anchoring. The combination of the local housing stock and Jackson County's expansive clay soil creates conditions that lead to cracking, settling, and water intrusion. Our crews are familiar with the specific patterns we see in this neighborhood.
