Piering Installation in Olathe
Home » Piering Installation in Olathe
On April 26th, 2018, Keith’s crew went out to Olathe, KS for a foundation repair job. When Keith’s crew got to the site, they met with the homeowner and talked with him about the process that would take place and what to expect. They also discussed questions that he had and thoroughly explained every answer.
The crew installed six Earth Contact Products 250 Piers on the northwest side of his home. KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair uses Earth Contact Products because they are a trusted name in the industry, have American-made products, and is a family owned operation out of Kansas. We work with people and products that we trust so we can pass on that trust and security to our customers.
Piers were installed due to foundation settlement and sinking. This is common with homes that are built on shifting soils, improperly compacted soil, or any number of other reasons. While there is usually always some small amount of settlement in all homes, there should never be noticeable large cracks and sloped flooring. In this case, the homeowner had previously had piering work done in 2012 and 2015. He had five piers installed on February 4, 2015, and seven piers installed on January 10, 2012.
Foundation piers worked with this foundation by being driven deep into the ground and into a foundation bracket for the piering system. They were attached, and then the foundation was lifted to an adequate height to match the rest of the home. The home was then supported by the piers. This can sometimes be a process that takes a little while because you can’t dramatically lift a house without some damage. This is why we like to take it slow to get the best and most secure results.
If you need foundation repair or waterproofing, it’s time to give KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair a call. We have experts on hand who can access your problem and help you find the right option to solve it. Contact us today to get started!

After having a poor experience with a different company, we made sure we got multiple quotes for our ongoing basement flooding and foundation concerns.Matt L came out to give us our quotes and evaluate our issues which included ongoing basement flooding through our windows as well as improper grading. He was very professional and kind, explained everything that was simple to understand but thorough.We got the side of our house re-graded by Gerry and his team. They were efficient, thorough, and professional. They helped us look at other potential repairs based on our concerns!Our windows were replaced by Dean who did an excellent job! They look amazing. The job site got cleaned flawlessly you wouldn’t even know he was there. The windows are a huge upgrade.We received quotes from 4 companies, however KC Waterproofing was by far the best company to work with start to finish. The coordinated the job so multiple crews came on the same day, which really helped me. They were the only ones that provided solutions at different cost levels, provided a quote on time and reviewed it with us, easy to schedule and communicate with, as well as overall professional. Their pricing was very reasonable and competitive with all other bids. I would definitely recommend them! I’m bummed I didn’t take before photos.

(2024 Job) I hired KC Waterproofing for another project after they did such a great job the first time. We had piers added to our foundation in the interior and exterior of the house. Ryan and his crew did a great job, were always on time, and cleaned up very well after themselves. I will only use this company for anything foundation related, no one else.(2022 Job) Don and Dontay & his crew were absolutely fantastic. The finished result looked great and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their basement waterproofed.

KC waterproofing did a fantastic job stabilizing the foundation at my house. Your home is your largest investment so it can be nerve racking when you have work done on your foundation. The staff at KC waterproofing were professional, knowledgable and great to work with, which helped ease my anxiety. Fran the estimator diagnosed the issue and explained the process; Michelle at the office helped with billing; Don the owner called personally to schedule my project and ask if I had any questions; and Keith, Jesse and Jacob did an awesome job installing the piers (which is hard work) and made sure I understood what was going on at all times.

Scott explained everything in easy to understand terms. I am confident that he was honest and thorough. He was not the first estimate we have gotten but he was the most impressive.Keith and Jesse arrived at the appointed time and explained what we could expect, then got started. The project took a little longer than expected because they had to go deeper than anticipated. The last day of the project brought a third guy. I regrettably did not learn his name but he performed admirably. The job was completed as Keith told us and the only mess left behind was the mess we made moving things out of the way.Keith explained the confusing emails that my wife received was due to an outage of Verizon. We were happy with everyone involved throughout the process, from estimator to office personnel to the eventual workers who performed like rock stars. I will heartily recommend KC Waterproofing to anyone who is faced with foundation issues. We have complete confidence that our problems will not revisit us. The crew checked our sticking door throughout the lifting process to make sure it was working properly. We are relieved to have this behind us.

Fran performed a pre-listing foundation repair evaluation for my clients. He listened intently as they described the issues they were experiencing, asking questions to understand exactly how they wanted to approach the repairs. He offered 2 different options to complete the work. He spent 30 min taking measurements and preparing the estimate, then walked the homeowners through the options, associated costs and payment options. He answered any and all questions they had. The homeowners were previously so nervous about what they would hear but by the time Fran was finished, they were breathing a huge sigh of relief. Bonus points for the fully transferable warranty they can include in the sale of their home.

They were very courteous and hard-working The young men from Kc Water Proofing from what I could tell did a very excellent efficient job on my foundation work but there were two young men. I don’t remember their names who stood out from all the men that came to work on my property. They were big husky fellas and I feel that they took the brunt, of the hard work upon themselves. And I respect that . I gave everyone a tip before they left today. I feel that those two young men deserve a better tip so I think that would allow them to have my information. They can call me and I’d like to give them a better tip . I’m not saying it wasn’t a team effort but these two fellas impressed me .
