In this job overview, we will be discussing a project out in Overland Park, KS. Fernandos crew went out to Overland Park on May 23, 2018, for a job that included foundation repair involving helical tiebacks and crack repair. Every foundation repair job is different, and this one was not to straighten out the foundation walls at all but to stabilize the walls. Foundation repair is necessary because it can create problems with stability and safety in the home. It will also make your home difficult or impossible to sell in the future if you choose to do so.

Foundation Repair

Over the course of this job, Fernando and his crew installed five helical tiebacks on the north foundation wall. The wall was pushing inwards and needed to be stabilized. However, it did not need to be straightened as in most foundation repair cases. We installed the helical tiebacks and then added topsoil on top of the dirt from the tiebacks. We also added some around the sides of the home for the slope. This is helpful for waterproofing purposes. When water drains directly into the foundation because it has nowhere to go, the soil around the foundation becomes saturated and pushes against the walls. This can cause cracks and eventually bowing and leaning. Proper slope/grade is important for your home’s health.

Foundation Crack Repair

After we completed the job, we cleaned up the minimal mess. Then we talked with the customer about their experience and asked if they had any questions and if any follow-up was needed. We want to make sure that your home is safe and stable for you. If you’re having foundation problems, give KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair a call.

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.
