Basement Waterproofing

bowing walls caused by water damage

In this case study of the Sanders, Fernandos crew traveled out to Odessa, MO on April 19, 2018. The homeowners called in because they were having problems with water damage and bowing walls caused by water damage. This is the case with many homes needing foundation repair and it can be easily fixed when we take a closer at the issue and figure out how to best approach it.

Fernandos crew installed 45 feet of exterior waterproofing which will work to take water away from the basement or crawl space and away from the foundation. This is important so that the issue does not keep recurring each time it rains badly. This is also the mistake that many contractors make: they only fix the foundation repair issue the client sees and do not address the root of the issue. Water damage and waterproofing issues are the cause of many needs for foundation repair. The crew also installed 2 HP sump pumps to make sure that any water that did somehow get inside would be pulled back out and not cause any lasting damage. The sump pumps were installed in the northeast corner of the home and one in the southwest corner.

There were also three carbon fiber straps attached to the walls. These straps straighten out the wall from bowing or leaning and can be easily covered up with paint so that they are nearly unnoticeable. They are also easy to install, strong, and are installed inside so that there is no damage or cleanup in your yard.

If you’re having foundation problems and also experience leaks and cracks, it may be time to consider a waterproofing system in addition to foundation repair. Fix the root of the problem along with the visual problems. Contact us today to get a free estimate and start on fixing your foundation!

Satisfied Customer Reviews

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!
Mario and Angel did an outstanding job on my outside drainage problem. Mario also does a great job on keeping my sump pump operating.
Professional organization and representative
Great all around service. Very informative consultation with Hal. Keith and his team were efficient and very clean when installing a new sump pump system. Highly recommend this company.
Matt has done a great job coordinating the projects we have asked KC Waterproofing to do for our company. The Bayer Company seems pleased with the results.
Mario from KC Water Proofing has excellent customer service and he was on time, timely and educated me as the customer for a good understanding of what he fixed on our home. So thankful for Mario!
Had an awesome experience! They installed carbon fiber straps in my basement on 2 walls, installed the proper drainage, new basement windows, cleaned up crawl space and installed a new sump pump—did an amazing job. ABOVE & BEYOND! Super professional, friendly, and fast. Everything was explained clearly, no surprises, and they left the place spotless. We’ve had some rain since and not a single drop inside. Highly recommend if you need basement waterproofing, foundation repair or a sump pump done right!
Mario came out to “service” the sump pump that was installed a couple years ago. Mario was very knowledgeable and courteous.
KC Waterproofing needs to keep an employee like Mario because of these 2 traits.
Prompt, efficient and most importantly effective! The entire team worked with me on a very tight deadline and made it happen! Highly recommend.
Mario did a fantastic job.
