Prairie Village has some of the oldest housing stock in Johnson County. These are post-war homes — a lot of them built in the late 1940s and 1950s when the suburbs started exploding after the GIs came home. The foundations are mostly poured concrete or concrete block, sitting on clay that's had 70-plus years to work on them. PV was one of the first planned communities in JoCo, which means the infrastructure and grading are from an era when nobody was thinking about what the soil would do over decades.
We work on PV homes constantly. The most common call is a basement that takes on water through the floor-wall joint — after 70 years the original waterproofing is long gone and the clay has pushed against the walls enough to open pathways. Horizontal cracks in block walls run a close second. A lot of these homes have had additions built over the years without tying the new foundation properly to the old one, so you get differential settling where the addition meets the original house. Sticking windows in those original casement frames is another telltale sign.
We serve all Prairie Village neighborhoods including Mission Hills borders, Corinth area, Prairie Fields, Meadowbrook, and 75th Street corridor, and surrounding areas. We also cover nearby communities like Overland Park, Leawood, Mission, and Fairway.
