Local foundation and basement work in Mission

Most of Mission was built in the 1950s and 1960s, with modest ranches and bungalows on smaller lots near Johnson Drive, Rock Creek, and the Mission bottoms. The housing is older, the foundations are original, and the lots are tight.

Rock Creek runs through the middle of the city, and homes closer to it deal with a higher water table and a history of flooding in the low areas. Away from the creek, it is the familiar story of aging block walls and seasonal clay movement.

What makes Mission foundations move

Mission sits on the same expansive clay as the rest of northeast Johnson County, so seasonal shrink and swell drives the cracking and door problems in homes set back from the creek.

Near Rock Creek and the lower-lying blocks, groundwater is the bigger factor. The water table rises quickly after heavy rain, pushing water in at the cove joint and through any crack. Homes in those areas usually need a solid interior drain and sump system, and it is worth checking the flood history of the specific block.

Questions from Mission homeowners

A properly sized interior perimeter drain routed to a sump pit with a battery backup is the core fix, since the water is coming from a rising water table, not just one crack. We also look at surface drainage and how close the creek flooding has come.
Not across the board. Homes away from Rock Creek are similar to Merriam or Prairie Village. The blocks near the creek and the old bottoms are wetter and need more drainage work.
Stair-step cracks in block often point to one side of the foundation settling. On Mission lots that were filled to level them, that is not unusual. An inspection confirms whether it is settlement and whether piers are needed.
