St. Matthews homes are largely mid-century, on full basements, under heavy mature tree cover. That combination produces a recognisable pattern: root-influenced soil moisture, persistent basement dampness, and the framing issues that follow decades of humidity.
Licensed engineers cover St. Matthews and the surrounding eastern neighborhoods.
