Foundation Repair

June 9, 2021

Are you Kansas City Real Estate? Congratulations! Kansas City Real Estate is a great investment, but you’re establishing roots in a great American city that you’re sure to be happy in. When buying a home, there are countless things to consider, and while you should always hire a professional home inspector to do a formal inspection prior to completing your purchase, there are also a number of things you can look at yourself to make sure you’re not getting more than you bargained for.

Inspecting Kansas City Real Estate Foundation

First, take a look at all of the walls and floors. Are they level? Are they sloping? Do you notice any cracks? If you notice that the walls aren’t perfectly square, the floor isn’t level, or cracks in the stucco or brick, it may mean there is underlying foundation damage and further investigation is warranted.

Second, do the doors and windows shut easily and fit properly? Oftentimes when a foundation settles, the doors don’t fit as nicely into the jams or the windows take extra effort to open and close. Once again, if you notice these things, you may want to dig deeper before completing your Kansas City real estate purchase.

Third, walk the perimeter of the home and inspect the foundation. If you see sinking areas, cracks, or bulging walls, make sure to do more to figure out the source of the problem.

Fourth, take a good look at the basement. The basement is often the first place foundation damage shows up. Are the walls even? Are they cracked? Do you see moisture seeping into the structure? If you do, take a closer look.

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.

Mario serviced my sump pump today and did a good job. He also replaced tape on my wall shield. He provided excellent customer service and was willing ti come out any time needed or said to call him anytime if I had any questions.

KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair has taken incredible care of my home through multiple visits. Gary and Davan handled my initial sump pump installation and crack repairs, and they were not only skilled but genuinely thoughtful throughout the process. We had a bit of early miscommunication, and instead of brushing it aside, they listened, acknowledged what happened, and adjusted the plan so everything aligned with what I needed.

They brought me in at every step—walking me through pump location options, explaining the exit pipe decisions, and making sure I felt confident about the work being done. Their friendliness and respect made a stressful repair feel manageable.

Later on, I had some cracks that needed to be reassessed, and Mario came out to take a look. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough, and he did an amazing job with the additional repairs. His calm, reassuring approach made me feel completely taken care of.

I also want to highlight Don, the manager, who is just as kind and committed to making sure customers feel heard and supported. It’s clear this team truly values doing right by people.

I’m grateful for their care and would absolutely recommend them for any foundation repair or waterproofing needs.

Great price, great work! In just 3 days, Jesse’s team added two sump pumps and over 40’ feet of channeling with the full wall systems. No more towels, fans, and dehumidifier after every big rain storm!

We were very pleased with KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. The foundation specialist, Camden Bales, explained the process we would need to fix our foundation. We felt very confident in the work that was going to be completed. The crew, headed by Jackson Kleeman, worked very hard every day and kept us well informed of their progress. They arrived on time every day and cleaned up before leaving each night. They were polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. Overall, we are completely satisfied with the job that they did. When they finished, you couldn’t tell that work had been done. Great job!

Sump pump backup pump activated an alarm so I scheduled a checkup to make sure everything was fine. Mario called before coming and was very polite. He showed up on time and got straight to work, I was not home at the time and asked him to call me with the results. He diagnosed the problem and then called me to run through results and also provide some more info on the pump operation. Very easy to work with, good communication, smart guy. Would use him for service again.
