KC WATERPROOFING HELPS HOMEOWNERS PREPARE FOR WINTER

Respected area Waterproofing and home service company, KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair wants to remind homeowners to clean their drains and gutters before winter sets in.

Kansas City, MO A house is only as strong as its foundation and water damage is the leading cause of foundation decay. When a homes gutters overflow, downspouts that have been placed too close to the foundation end up dumping massive amounts of water onto the foundation itself. As most people are aware, water causes erosion. It is water erosion that created the Grand Canyon and it is water erosion that is the leading cause of damage to home foundations. Don Derry of KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair has been working with homeowners since 1985 to repair the damage caused by water and to waterproof homes in order to prevent damage. He explains that waterproofing a home is one of the best preventative steps someone can take to preserve the integrity of their property.

As the water slowly erodes the surface of a foundation, he explains, tiny cracks and fissures appear. When water is then pooled against those cracks as often happens during a rainy fall, it seeps into them. All it takes is a deep freeze with water in those cracks to expand it and worsen the fissure. After a while, tiny fissures become big ones and the foundation is cracking and becoming unstable.

As a structural repair contractor, he has had to stabilize foundations and provide support structures on countless homes to counteract water damage something that is very costly for homeowners. Derry explains that while he’s grateful for the work it bothers him that good people have to pay so much money out of pocket to repair something that could have easily been prevented with waterproofing.

Its not that expensive to prepare a home for winter, he explains. Plumbers will say the same thing prepare ahead for freezing pipes rather than pay later to have them replaced. As a certified structural repair contractor, I’ve seen it all and I know how costly and time-consuming it is to fix damage whereas to prevent it takes little to no time and barely dents a budget.

Derry is a certified Microbial Remediation Supervisor by the IAQA and has over three decades of experience working in his field. He understands exactly what it takes to prevent and fix the damage and explores new avenues that can cut costs for his clients and improve reliability. His commitment to customers and his employees has made KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair a successful local business. He hopes that people take appropriate steps to secure their home before the predicted wet, cold winter sets in.

I had high confidence in KC Waterproofing and the crew that worked on our foundation. They worked hard during cold and snow to complete our work in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend them for consideration with your own foundation concerns and repairs.

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.
Mario was timely, professional, and efficient. I will continue to utilize and recommend this business based on the excellent service he provided.
Mario was very helpful on his visit to my home. I was concerned about one of the anchors that was installed this summer. He assured me that all was intact and doing like it is supposed to be doing. Thank you Mario!
