Steel Piers installation

Most all the KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Steel Piers were installed using a 430 Bobcat. They where torque to 2200 Psi. We needed to have an ultimate load of 30,000lbs, with allowed us with a 15,000lb working load.

Steel Piers work

A requirement of the project was to do a test pier to determine that the depth and load could be achieved. A senior engineer came into town to do the test. Fernando helped throughout the project.

American Royal Building

American Royal Building. Downtown Kansas City Missouri. We installed 95 – 2 7/8 Helical pier under a failing CMU Wall. This project bid once before but it was determined the winning installer did not have the experience the city was requiring. That is Why KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair was called and was used to ultimately perform the job.

You can see the CMU wall has cracked and the slab has dropped. The engineers on project determined that lifting was not the way to go, so we stabilized it from any downward movement.

The test pier has been installed in the middle and the outer piers are called reactor piers. We are going to apply pressure on the center pier in small increments and measure the deflection of the pier.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​!
