For this job, we went to Overland Park, KS and Fernando’s crew were on the job. This was a foundation repair and exterior waterproofing project and these are pretty common to pair together. Instead of just fixing the foundation, at KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair we also look to find the source of the problem. If you fix the foundation without addressing the root of the issue, you are going to get recurring problems that may be harder and harder to spot until there’s major damage due to more and more material covering it.

With this job, we installed 56 feet of waterproofing, five Plate Anchors, and eleven ECP 350 Piers. Piers are installed into a plate which supports and stabilizes them. They are then used to slowly and gently lift the foundation. Foundations should not be quickly lifted because they can sustain further damage with a dramatic change. It’s better to get the foundation as close as possible to level than to make it perfect and cause damage because of that. We also performed some crack repairs which protect against water leaking in and make the wall or foundation nicer looking overall.

Originally, the wall on the inside was bowing in quite a bit, as you can see from photos. We got that wall pulled back at least 2″ and the wall was flush with the plate on the ceiling and floor. It did, however, make the I-beams that were previously installed by another contractor come off of the wall since they were not helping hold the wall in place. We also got quite a bit of lift on the piers, too. It was really neat to see! However, it just goes to show you that you should always seek out quality foundation repair because it is not a job you should leave to chance.

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.

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.

Joe B.

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!
