Foundation repair in Independence
What Independence homes mean for foundation repair
Independence's older rural-era housing sits on block basements built for smaller structures than the county's current stock, and many of those houses have since been expanded well beyond their original footprint, adding load the original footing was not sized for. That mismatch between original construction and current size is a meaningful driver of settlement complaints in Independence's older housing. Newer subdivision homes on poured basements generally settle less dramatically, with slab leveling for a garage or patio the more typical scope.
