Basements are standard, many finished in newer homes. Older homes in the Cathedral District and around McKennan Park date to the early 1900s and have full basements with stone or brick foundations. Newer subdivisions on the south and east sides often have finished basements with sump pumps, where seepage or a pump failure is costly.
Hail damage
