Parkville isn't flat-lot suburbia. Bluff homes deal with steep runoff aimed straight at the foundation, and the older places near downtown sit on river-bottom soil. Two different problems in one small town.

Foundation problems in Parkville are driven by the same heavy clay soil that affects all of Platte County. The difference is our 40+ years of local experience. We know how these foundations behave and what it takes to fix them for good.
Parkville isn't flat-lot suburbia. The bluff homes deal with steep runoff aimed straight at the foundation, erosion undermining footings, and uneven soil pressure on the basement walls. Closer to the river, homes sit on soft alluvial soil that doesn't carry load the way clay does. Two different problems in one small town.
Absolutely, we do it all the time on the bluffs along the river. Hillside homes are tricky because the downhill side of the foundation is exposed and under different pressure than the uphill side, but push piers and helical piers work well on slopes. The key is engineering the pier layout for that specific site.
Because piering a house without fixing the water just buys time. Up on the bluffs water comes downhill fast and finds whatever weakness the foundation has, so most Parkville jobs start with drainage correction. We fix the cause first, then stabilize the structure so the repair lasts.
It depends on the terrain and what the soil is doing. Hillside pier work and drainage correction vary a lot site to site. We'll walk the lot with you, explain what the slope is doing to your house in plain English, and give you a written estimate. The inspection is free.
