Changing Climate - Cold winters and hot/humid summers are leading causes of damage to building facades as well as asphalt and concrete surfaces.
Expansive Clay Soil - Kansas City is surrounded by clay soil which is heavily impacted by heavy rains and droughts.
Aging Infrastructure - Many neighborhoods have aging homes where old wiring, plumbing, and facade materials impact repair and replacement costs.
Local Codes and Conditions - Local building codes and other ordinances impact construction costs.
Severe Weather - Hail, high winds, and tornadoes can damage building facades and other elements leading to a more frequent need for repairs.
Stormwater and Grading - Heavy rains frequently cause flooding in areas with poor grading and drainage.
