how concrete leveling works
June 9, 2021

Greg Hublers Sandwich Shop was doing just fine – until it wasn’t. Suddenly, large amounts of water would enter the building every time it rained. Sometimes enough to force Hubler to shut down for the day. That’s why he picked up the phone to call us at KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Does concrete leveling work? Yes!

What KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Discovered in this Kansas City, KS Business

It is important to learn the cause of the water leaks before applying a waterproofing solution to fix the problem once and ensure the customer is only paying for what they need.

We discovered that the water was entering the building from underneath the sidewalk. We set out to learn the cause and discovered that the restaurant’s neighbor had recently done some landscaping work which caused the sidewalk to shift and in turn caused the flooding.

Concrete Leveling and Waterproofing Repair Procedure

The KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair team went to work to relevel the sidewalk slabs that had been disturbed by the neighbor’s work. Not only were these causing water to enter Huber’s restaurant, they can also be eyesores and tripping hazards to all who cross them. A restaurant does not need that liability on top of a waterproofing problem. Concrete Leveling solved both problems at once.

How Can Concrete Leveling Fix a Damaged Slab?

At KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we use a state-of-the-art polyurethane product called Polypier from Earth Contact Products another Kansas City company. The Polypier is an expanding foam that permanently fixes your concrete problems and weighs less than the original mud or new concrete so it won’t compound the sinking problem.

After that was accomplished, we put caulking along the building and siding to ensure everything was sealed and that Hubler’s sandwich shop would not be soggy again. The entire project only took a couple of hours.

Satisfied Customer Reviews

Skylar and his team did excellent work. They arrived on time first thing in the morning and immediately put my mind at ease. Originally thought it would be a two day job, but they wrapped up the work before 3 on day one. Everything about the experience was top notch. From the original estimator Riley to the work itself. Would happily recommend to friends and family.
The workers were very courteous and they did a wonderful job
We did not go with KC Waterproofing...Why? Because of the integrity and honesty of the salesman Jeff Wolfe. The first question Jeff asked was what would be our deciding factors, and we said the contractor's reputation for quality & honesty and the ability to assess the situation and present a proven & cost-effective solution. Jeff could have proposed solutions similar to other contractors, but he gave us his HONEST recommendation that our foundation issues don't necessitate corrective action at this point and he told us what to watch for if the issues getting worse. Jeff and KC Waterproofing will be our first call if the problem gets worse, and the contractor we recommend to friends and neighbors.
Had an initial consultation with Camden. He was upfront, professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. We haven’t yet made a decision as to next steps, but our experience with the consult was top-notch.

We were assisted by Mario and are very pleased with his visit. He was prompt, thorough, easy to communicate with, and just a very pleasant person to work with. We will continue to use KC Waterproofing, and I hope we continue to have Mario help us.
