Raytown homes and the ground under them
A lot of Raytown was built in the decades after World War II. Streets of ranch homes and split-levels, many with full or partial basements, line the neighborhoods on both sides of Raytown Road and out toward the Blue Ridge Cutoff. Those houses have now been through decades of Missouri weather, and the clay soil around them has been swelling and shrinking the whole time.

Common problems
What shows up in a home this age
For a home of that age, the most common problems are pretty predictable.
Concrete takes a beating here too
Older driveways, carports, and patios poured decades ago often sit on soil that has settled or washed out, leaving cracked, tilted slabs and gaps that funnel water toward the house.
Local and family-owned
Neighbors, not a call center
Being based in Raytown also means we know the area. When you call, you are talking with a family-owned company whose office sits on the same road you probably drive every week, not a call center in another state.
None of that means your house is falling down. It means the soil is doing what Kansas City area soil does, and the house needs some help.
Questions
Questions Raytown homeowners ask
Straight answers from the office down the road.
Do you really work out of Raytown?
Yes. Our office is at 5525 Raytown Road, and every city on our service list is served from here.
My basement wall has a horizontal crack. What does that mean?
A horizontal crack, especially with an inward bow, usually means soil pressure is pushing on the wall. Helical tiebacks are built to stabilize walls like that.
Water only shows up after big storms. Is that worth fixing?
Usually, yes. Water that comes in during storms tends to keep coming in, and it adds pressure on the walls. Start with gutters and downspouts, then look at interior or exterior waterproofing and a sump pump if needed.
Can you fix a sunken driveway without tearing it out?
In many cases. Polyjacking fills the void under the slab with high-density polyurethane foam and lifts it back toward level.
What about the crawlspace under my addition?
Damp crawlspaces can be sealed with a water-retardant vapor barrier. See crawlspace encapsulation.
