Aurora — Frequently Asked
Are foundation problems more common in older or newer Aurora homes?
Both. Older 1950s–1970s homes have had more time for incremental foundation movement, and many lack modern drainage systems. Newer developments on the southeast side were sometimes built on improperly compacted fill, leading to early settlement. The soil is the common factor — expansive clays affect every era of construction.
