The soil under Lenexa carries a “very high” shrink-swell rating from the USDA. Spring rain saturates the clay and pushes against basement walls. Summer drought pulls moisture out and the clay contracts, creating voids that allow foundations to settle. This cycle repeats 40 to 50 times during the life of a home, and every cycle puts stress on the concrete, block, or stone that supports your house.
Lenexa has a wide age range of homes. Older houses near Old Town and on the streets surrounding Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park have seen decades of accumulated movement. Newer construction in Falcon Valley, Canyon Creek, Quivira Falls, and the master-planned developments around City Center face first-decade settlement as the fill soil around new foundations consolidates. Both types of homes need different repair approaches, and Foundation 1 has the experience to recognize what each home needs.
Foundation problems we repair in Lenexa:
★★★★★
We had purchased a home at the beginning of the year and noticed some deformities with our foundation. We called Foundation 1 and they promptly sent out their evaluator, Cassell, who thoroughly inspected the foundation and gave us peace of mind that the deformities are normal and easy patch jobs. Although there was no repairs to be made, we felt comfortable and at ease with the thorough inspection and explanation. We are glad to have their information and will use them if needed in the future and will recommend them to everyone!

First-decade settlement is the most common cause. The fill soil around a new foundation consolidates during the first five to seven years, and the foundation moves slightly with it. New homes in Falcon Valley, Canyon Creek, and the developments around City Center are especially prone to this. Early-stage settlement is usually a smaller, less expensive repair.
Most foundation repairs range from $3,000 to $12,000 depending on the cause and the number of piers required. Minor work can be a few hundred dollars. Major projects can exceed $20,000. Foundation 1 provides free inspections.
