Bungalow basements
Older bungalows here often have basements that were dug shallow, with walls of block, poured concrete or stone depending on the builder and the year. Low headroom and narrow stairs mean we plan equipment carefully: hand drivers for interior piers, smaller saws for drain lines.
Narrow lots, close neighbors
With driveways and neighbors' homes only a few feet away, outside digging has to be planned around property lines. Where we cannot reach a wall from outside, interior work usually can.
Typical Affton calls
- Water seeping at the base of a basement wall after long rains
- A detached garage slab sunk at one corner
- Stair-step cracks in brick near a corner where the gutter overflows
Affton is unincorporated, so structural permits come from St. Louis County.
