For Independence property owners
Check the drainage plan before changing the grade
Independence's Engineering Department publishes applications for changes of grade, sanitary and storm sewer service, and flood-hazard work. It asks applicants to provide the required plans and drawings. A drainage repair proposed after a mold problem may therefore need more planning than simply adding soil beside the foundation.
The city's engineering maps and staff can help you frame questions about the property, while your drainage or plumbing contractor develops the repair. We can assess the affected indoor area and coordinate the mold work with that source repair before new finishes go in.
Explain the proposed change
Ask Engineering about the actual grading or sewer work being considered, with the property address and a clear description.
Keep plans and photos together
A sketch of where water collects and photos of the indoor damage help different contractors discuss the same issue.
Coordinate the inside and outside work
Make sure the cleanup schedule accounts for the source repair and any required inspections.
