Engineer's Action Plan for Kansas City
Moisture Maintenance
Your soil Risk Level is Moderate (PI: 16.0). Major structural failure is less likely if drainage is managed correctly. Ensure gutters extend 5ft from the foundation.
- Focus: Root barriers for large trees.
- Routine: Bi-annual plumb level checks.
Preventative maintenance is the highest ROI strategy here.
