Prairie Village is post-war Johnson County at its best, Cape Cods and ranches from the 40s and 50s. Those foundations are pushing 70 years on this clay, and most are overdue for a checkup.

Foundation problems in Prairie Village are driven by the same heavy clay soil that affects all of Johnson 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.
Classic post-war Johnson County — ranches and splits from the '50s and '60s on their original foundations. After 60-70 years on this clay, those foundations need work.
Piers, anchors, waterproofing, crawl spaces, insulation, concrete leveling. PV homes are worth maintaining.

Age on clay. Prairie Village is post-war Johnson County, full of Cape Cods and ranches from the 40s and 50s, and those foundations are pushing 70 years on expansive clay that never stops moving. The hairline cracks people paint over every few years are the early chapters of a longer story.
Almost always. These houses were built well, and the foundations respond nicely when you catch problems early. A typical PV job is crack injection plus drainage on an original ranch, a small fix that makes a real difference at resale and stops a slow problem from getting expensive.
Crack injection for stable leaks, carbon fiber or wall anchors if a basement wall has started to bow, and piers if a section has settled. Because these are smaller post-war homes, the work is often surgical rather than a full-house job. The inspection tells us which.
Many PV repairs are on the smaller side, a crack injection and a drain run, which keeps the cost down. Settling or wall work runs higher. We do free inspections and give you an exact written estimate so you're not guessing.
