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.

Satisfied Customer Reviews

I’ve had their waterproofing system and carbon fiber straps installed in my house. They did a great job and ensured my personal property was protected. Everyone involved was professional and very friendly. Thank you Mario and Connor for your hard work on the latest project!
They came and did a free inspection for me and the guy who did the inspection was super nice and helpful and we grew up in the same area out of state
KC Waterproofing is amazing! I misread the date of my service they were able to get me in that weekend so I could have additional work done on my basement the following Monday. I am so happy with the work they did, Mario was great and always showed up on time and does exceptional work. The communication with the office staff is also really great and I never felt in the dark about the work I was having done. Overall I will be recommending them to anyone who needs foundation work!
Mario did a great job sealing our main water intake leak and gave us some tips to further help. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the service and solution we wanted. Thank you so much.
Present: Mario was prompt, friendly, professional, and thorough!Past: The crew showed up on time and they were friendly and professional, taking care to protect my floors and clean up after they were done. There were a few glitches along the way, but Don made sure everything was done with efficacy and to my satisfaction. My crawlspace was a disaster, but now it’s clean, sealed, and dry! Thanks KCWaterproofing!~ Christen
We had a choice between Thrasher & KC Waterproofing. Thrasher never showed up for our consultation and now they call me almost every day. Hiring KC Waterproofing was a good decision. Everybody involved in our repairs were knowledgeable, patient & respectful. We even got a military discount. Thank you guys very much. Don, Jake, Julian and everyone else. We are grateful and will continue to recommend y’all.
The installers were nice and clear on explaining their work when asked. The aftermath was well done. I would recommend their service to any of my close peers. Thank you, Waterproof
Jackson and his team worked hard at peering our home. They were very thorough and cleaned up after themselves every day. The team was very professional and polite and definitely a group of hard workers. I would highly recommend KC Waterproofing to anyone!
Ryan and his team did a great job on our repair. The weather was poor, and they were rained on heavily but spent several hard days completing our project. They were friendly and knowledgeable and made sure I knew how future water drainage would be mitigated. I recommend them and KC Waterproofing to anybody around.
Mario completed our foundation repairs today and did a good job. He was thorough and took care of everything we needed. Appreciated that he put in extra effort to make sure the work was done properly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​!
