When remembering foundation repair, towns like Easton, Kansas and Desoto, Kansas come to mind. The pictures on this page are of a large foundation replacement job that we did in Platte City, Missouri.

Often times, basements are redesigned to facilitate a walk-out that was not included in the original foundation. This adds more living square feet to the home and the installation of glass windows and doors is appealing. As we work to perform this type of redesigned foundation repair, Manhattan, Ks and Lawrence, Kansas are housing markets with potential.

The two houses shown below are close to the Kansas University campus where I also attended college. We replaced and redesigned these basements.

When performing foundation repair, Kansas rain and snow accumulation are usually the culprits. Hydro-pressure can be strong against an old foundation and I always advise people to keep their gutters clean and their downspouts running away from the foundation.

When in need of foundation repair, Manhattan and Lawrence residents are encouraged to contact HouseLifter.net. We like working in college towns. However, there are other areas we worked in in 2009.
