For your home in Independence
Before adding soil or changing a drain
Independence Engineering publishes applications for grading changes and storm or sanitary sewer work. If a contractor proposes an exterior fix after basement water, ask which review applies to that specific property. We can assess damaged indoor materials while the drainage correction is being planned.
- Show the proposed change
- Ask the contractor to explain the existing water route and how the planned grading or drain work would change it.
- Keep indoor damage visible
- Mention wet wall bases, floor coverings and storage areas, even when the exterior problem is receiving most of the attention.

Independence Engineering publishes applications for changes of grade, sanitary and storm sewer service, and flood-hazard work. Its maps and review process can help frame questions about a proposed drainage repair. Have the qualified contractor describe the actual change and ask which plans or reviews apply to the property before assuming that adding soil will solve the problem.
Our work concerns the materials already affected indoors. Tell us where water first appeared, how long the event lasted and whether it is still entering. We explain the extraction, cleaning or drying proposed while the exterior investigation proceeds. A future drainage improvement does not describe the present condition of wall cavities, floor coverings or stored belongings.
