Too often do we hear that homeowners in Kansas City and surrounding areas are afraid of Foundation Repair because they believe the value of their home will diminish if foundation repair is conducted on their home.  

This could not be further from the truth..  Statistics show that Foundation Repair is held at the same value as a Full Bathroom Remodel in terms of dollar for dollar value upon re-sale!  

At DLN Solutions, we've worked hand in hand with hundreds of realtors in Kansas City, Missouri and can confirm these statistics after watching the buying and selling process of homes all across the metro!  

A solid Foundation equipped with Foundation Repair from DLN Solutions on your Kansas City home or home in surrounding areas is an absolute staple in the home buying or selling process!

Foundation Repair can generally be conducted while you live in your home without issue.

At DLN Solutions, you can anticipate your Project Liaison to set plenty of expectations for your Foundation Repair project, one of which will be livability in the home while repairs are being conducted.

For more extensive repairs, you may expect your Project Liaison to ask you to not be in the home for a small amount of time while extensive structural improvements are being made; Foundation Wall Push Back, Foundation Wall Pull Back, to name a few.

Another issue we deal with is total collapse of a foundation wall.  When these occur, city officials have been known to place "Condemned" Notices on homes, leaving you, the homeowner from inhabiting the home.

We can generally get these notices removed quickly!

This is a question we are asked quite often!

It's important to note that most businesses train their salesman to scare you into making rash decisions when it comes to Foundation Repair or Basement Waterproofing as they have a bottom line to make and the salesman needs that commission.

As always, DLN Solutions has made a commitment to our Homeowners to provide the most realistic expectations of what could potentially happen if you do not improve the structural integrity of your home or prevent further water intrusion:

• Sunken Foundation - Any future home remodeling efforts could be compromised.  Doors / window may not open.
• Wet Basement - Mold growth from water intrusion will occur, and most obvious, any storage will be compromised.
• Cracked Foundation - If water hasn't intruded yet, it may in the future.  Once cracking has begun, it will only get larger.
• Damp Crawlspace - Mold growth will occur.  Insulation will sag and fall.  Floor Joists will buckle leading to sagging floors.

If you can catch these issues sooner than later, the need for more extensive repairs goes down, and the cost effectiveness goes up!
