Independence
Stone foundations under some of the metro’s oldest houses, and postwar block basements further out.
Independence page →One metro, two states, the same clay. We work in the city and in the suburbs on both sides of State Line, and pull permits from whichever city the house is in.

The city itself, about 510,000 people, has the metro's oldest foundations. Brookside, Waldo, Midtown and the Northeast are full of houses from the early 1900s through the 1950s on stone, block and early poured walls, and they make up a large share of the repairs we see. Structural work in KCMO is permitted through the city's Compass KC system. Kansas City, Kansas, run by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, is a separate city with its own permit office.
