Mine Subsidence and Your Foundation

May 27, 2026 Charles Szaley No Comments

Quick Summary: Kansas City sits above a network of abandoned limestone mines, primarily in the Northland and Clay County, that were carved out using a room-and-pillar method during the city’s building boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s and left unmanaged when mining stopped. As abandoned mine pillars deteriorate from groundwater exposure over decades, […]

How Poor Drainage Causes Foundation Damage

December 16, 2025 KC Waterproofing OP No Comments

Water can be one of the biggest threats to your home’s foundation. When rainwater does not drain properly, it soaks into the soil around your house. This causes the ground to expand and then shrink when it dries out. As a result, it puts stress on your foundation, which over time can lead to cracks, […]

October 13, 2025 KC Waterproofing OP No Comments

The foundation of your home can experience many structural issues over time. One of the most common and severe foundation issues is shifting and settling.

What Are Wall Anchors, and How Do They Work?

September 29, 2025 KC Waterproofing OP No Comments

Bowing walls are a common issue in basements. When the groundwater levels in the soil around your basement rise (either naturally or due to rainfall), it causes hydrostatic pressure that pushes on your basement walls. Over time, this pressure causes the basement walls to crack, bulge, and bow. If left unaddressed, wall bowing can become […]

Satisfied Customer Reviews

Jeffery B.
He was prompt and very polite. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the process and kept us updated on the progress. Was very efficient.
Charlie W.
Awesome work done. Great communication
Blaise G.
Jeff Wolfe was excellent providing a thorough inspection, informing us about the company history, the technology and strategies utilized and our options. I would highly recommend Jeff and KC waterproofing!
Richard D.
First class in every way. Very friendly and accommodating. They do things the right way even if it takes much more time to get the project done. Their job of putting things back the way it was, was spectacular! They even replanted the flowers they had to dig up.

Great company and extremely easy to work with. Riley was my point of contact and he explained everything very well. After I denied working with them on one property (due to family issues) Riley happily messaged me back when I needed help with another property. The solution was a hard one to figure out, but Riley constantly made suggestions that would hopefully solve the issue without doing too much work that isn’t needed. Riley clearly explained what I needed and don’t and also gave guidance for other issues I had going on regarding window sealing.

Schylur Oakes and his crew were the ones that came and worked on my property. Schylur was extremely personable and friendly. He constantly ran back and forth from the back of the house (where the work was being done) to the front of the house to ring my doorbell and ask me if I was okay with what they were doing, if I wanted them to change anything etc. One moment he even came and asked if I really need the work to be done since there were sprinklers near my basement window and maybe that was the issue instead, not foundation and rain water. I clarified that I don’t even use my sprinklers and I still have water entering but I was glad he even brought it up and checked with me before proceeding. Schylur ended the day by having his crew clean up after themselves and showed me around and told me everything they did.

Only issue I had was payment processing was a pain. It’s 2026, I shouldn’t have to give my card number over the phone for a deposit, just send me a link to a secure site to enter it. How can I trust some random number and voice over the phone? Then for the final payment, having to manually type out and input my card information in to a tablet while it was raining was a slight nuisance. I have my own small business and use Square tap to pay. It’s not that expensive. Come on guys, if I’m using it for my little business, you can afford it for your long standing company. Just my 2 cents.
Matt F.
Camden came and did a thorough inspection of our foundation and explained the findings well. I felt he was honest with his recommendations and did not try to convince us to do something that wasn't necessary.
Will use KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair again and highly recommend.
Thank you Cam!

This is the second time I've used this company. Great company. They have good employees. Fran did a great job of explaining everything, even the financing. I thought the lending company had great options. When it was time for my French drains to be installed. They came on time and ready. They even did a crawl space protective cover. Great team, they worked well together. Took the whole day but got it all done. Cleaned up well afterwards. The price was reasonable. Jackson explained everything as it went along. Kind, friendly service.
