A straight run east on Highway 50 from our Warrensburg shop. Pettis County is a regular part of our route, and Sedalia homeowners get the same crew, the same free inspection and the same warrantied work as our customers back home.
Sedalia has a lot of housing stock built well before modern foundation drainage was standard practice. In the older neighborhoods you find rubble and block basement walls, shallow footings and downspouts that dump straight against the wall. Combine that with Pettis County clay and the result is predictable: bowing basement walls, horizontal cracking a few courses down, and water showing up every spring.
Outside the city limits the story shifts to crawl spaces. Farmhouses and additions on piers pick up moisture from the ground, and the floor system above eventually tells on it.
If you are seeing movement, water or cracking, an inspection costs you nothing and tells you which one you have. Findings and price go in writing before any work starts.

Every job starts with a free inspection at your home. We look at the floors, walls, brick, crawl space or basement, and we check how water moves around the house, because drainage is often the real cause. We measure what has moved, explain what we found in plain language, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. No pressure, no obligation.
Our Warrensburg shop is a straight drive down Highway 50, so we schedule Sedalia inspections quickly, we know how Pettis County clay behaves, and we are easy to reach after the job. Older homes near downtown and newer houses on the edges of town all get the same careful look.
Yes. Older Sedalia homes often have block or rubble basement walls and shallow footings. With Pettis County clay and downspouts draining against the foundation, that is the usual cause of bowing walls, horizontal block cracks and basement water.
We drive east on Highway 50 from our Warrensburg office, and the inspection is free. Sedalia, La Monte, Green Ridge and Smithton are all on the route.
Not usually, but it does not reverse on its own and each wet spring pushes it further. Get it measured so you know where it stands and what it will take to hold it.
