Local conditions in Inver Grove Heights

Rolling ground and river bluffs give many Inver Grove Heights lots real slope, and that affects foundations. Around the perimeter and in the basement, cracks, bowing, settlement, efflorescence and water entry are the signs to look for, and they usually trace back to grading, downspouts, retaining walls and erosion. Older houses from the farm era may have stone or block walls, while newer ones have poured concrete, so we interpret cracks according to what the structure is made of and how the soil around it behaves.
