In this job study, we are going to Olathe, KS with Fernandos crew. This was a fairly big job, and it had a few different pieces. The homeowner, Robert, purchased the home knowing that some previous work had been done to it. They had plate anchors installed and waterproofing that someone had tried to complete on the inside of the basement as well. Unfortunately, it was just black tar on the walls–which is not an effective method of waterproofing.

Robert called us to come out and inspect the home and see the movement that was occurring in the basement. There was a lot! The wall was falling in, pushing against the water lines in the basement. This is obviously not something that we want to see and we wanted to quickly get to work on resolving these issues.

Successful Foundation and Waterproofing Project in Olathe, KS

KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair installed 102 feet of Exterior Waterproofing on three sides of the home to ensure no water would be entering again and the homeowner could have peace of mind. We installed 20 Plate Anchors and cut off the old existing ones that were not doing the job correctly. We got the wall pulled back to where it is now, completely flush with the sill plates. This is great news for the homeowner as the home is now a safe place to live.

We then installed 20 Carbon Fiber Straps along all three walls in the basement to support from further bowing of the wall. These were installed between each plate anchor. Additionally, we installed two C-33 Sump Pump/Back Up Combos in the corners of the basement to pump water out if it should come in. These come with a four-year warranty and are the biggest pump we carry. We also installed discharges for both pumps. All the work that was completed comes with a lifetime, transferable warranty. (Minus sump pumps, which have different warranty specifications)

Everything went well and the customer was satisfied. All cracks were injected, and the retaining wall was rebuilt due to it having to be taken down to install the pier.

Satisfied Customer Reviews

Diana R.

Brandon and his crew did a fabulous job. Brandon and the guys were very respectful always saying good morning and letting me know when they went to lunch. Brandon explained the job as they worked and made sure I was comfortable with everything. He moved plants that were in the way and put they back exactly where they were. My yard was left exactly as they found it. The only way anyone could tell that KC Waterproofing had done any work at my house was by the sign that they put in the yard. I rate this crew 10 plus.

Installer was on time and professional. Took his time to answer all of my wife’s questions, and left the work area cleaner than he found it.

Chris S.

KC Waterproofing sent Mario out to my home to give me an estimate on a new sump pump. Mario was great and answered all my questions. I especially like how transparent he was about all the services they have and what they could do to help improve my system. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Mario came and re-checked our foundation numbers from previous piering. He was very knowledgeable, reassuring, and professional. He made sure we got our results quickly and was very responsive to communication. I appreciate Mario’s effort!

KC Waterproofing is a highly professional organization. Their staff is friendly and helpful. Not surprising they’ve been in business for many years.

Steven S.

Hal was professional, courteous, and efficient. When he arrived he said what he planned on doing, how long it would take, and was able to evaluate my basement in an hour, providing several good options for waterproofing, with details on the costs and benefits of each. I highly recommend KC Waterproofing when you look for options.

Dellie M.

We called about a crack in the basement wall that would leak after heavy rains. Mario came out and went above and beyond on the repair to where I’ve got complete piece of mind knowing I won’t have any further issues with leaks.

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!
