Lee's Summit shares the Kansas City metro's geology: deep glacial till and expansive clay that grips foundation walls when wet and shrinks away from them in drought. Growth here has been rapid, so the housing stock is heavily 1980s through 2000s subdivision built on graded clay pads, wrapped around a compact pre-war downtown. Newer homes are often still equilibrating with the site, and backfill around basement walls settles in the first years. The problems seen most are bowing and cracking basement walls, garage-slab and porch settlement, and seasonal door and window binding. The pace of Lee's Summit's growth means a single subdivision built in, say, 1998 can sit right next to one built in 2015, with visibly different grading standards and drainage detailing between them — homeowners comparing notes with neighbors on a different block are often comparing genuinely different construction eras rather than the same problem twice. The compact pre-war downtown core, small relative to the city's overall footprint today, carries the older foundation stock that's had the most time to fully cycle through the region's clay, while the much larger ring of newer subdivision construction is still in the first decades of settling into glacial till that hasn't finished equilibrating.
