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.

Great service, everyone is friendly and courteous. They do whatever they can to help you. Great company I would recommend to anyone.

Samantha K.

Great team, worked very hard and stayed after hours to install a basement window as they knew a huge storm was on the way. Our basement was super dry following a lot of rain after install/fixing of foundation proving the job was done well! I recommend this company for foundation repair and water proofing to cinder block foundation in old home.

Mario came out to seal a crack on my stairs and fill a settlement crack in the basement. He was very professional and friendly. He did an amazing job and I was very impressed.

Richard

Didn't waste any time. I have a big problem and he told me from the beginning that they couldn't handle it. He helped give me some advice and direction... and did not try to sell me on something he knew they couldn't deliver. I appreciated his upfront honesty and advice.

Mario came out to check the sump pump. After cleaning the pit out and checking both the main and backup pump he wiped everything done and left the area cleaner than when he got there. Very friendly and knowledgeable guy!

Don Derry with KC Waterproofing has been our "go-to" foundation repair specialist since 2005! We have had him to our homes multiple times. The project always wraps up with us having peace of mind. This past time with 14 piers installed, was no exception. His crew was polite and respectful. They cleaned up our property perfectly at the conclusion of the project. I highly recommend this foundation repair company.

We recently had KC Waterproofing out at our home in North Kansas City, and I cannot say enough great things about Ryan Marshall and his team (Austin & Jacob). They worked at our property over the week of July 17/2025 - and absolutely blew us away with their professionalism, work ethic, and transparency.

Ryan took the time to thoroughly explain the problems we were facing, what caused them, and exactly how they were going to fix them. His honesty and willingness to go the extra mile truly set him apart.

Ryan and his assistant worked hard, were respectful of our home, and made sure everything was done right the first time. It's rare these days to find that level of care and craftsmanship. Because of professionals like Ryan, we’ll continue to turn to KC Waterproofing for future needs.

Highly recommend this company—especially if you get the chance to work with Ryan and his crew! When it comes to foundation issues we will always recommend KC Waterproofing. They have been in the business, are trusted, and will do the job correctly.
