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.

Matt F.

Camden came and did a thorough inspection of our foundation and explained the findings well. I felt he was honest with his recommendations and did not try to convince us to do something that wasn't necessary.
Will use KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair again and highly recommend.
Thank you Cam!

We recently had foundation repairs with multiple piers and poly-fill. Not only were they professional on-site, but one of the employees even noticed a package sitting outside starting to get rained on so they placed it in my mudroom. They kept me informed through the process and ensured I understood each repair prior to commencing.

Karen B.

Fran was incredible! He was prompt and very knowledgeable about our questions regarding our foundation. He showed us that we already had a bracing system and our foundation was secure. I would recommend him to anyone!

Fran Heisinger came out and gave a detailed and thorough inspection of our foundation. His experience, service and expertise assured us if we needed additional work, his crew and company could do the job. Highly recommend.

We recently used KC Waterproofing to do our foundation, put in an IBeam and jack post, multiple piers. When I say these guys did an excellent job from start to finish… I can’t even express it enough. Very professional. Very clean work. They cleaned up so well you can’t even tell we just had major work done. This was a week and a half project. The entire crew has just been so amazing in this hard time. I will forever recommend and be using them for future projects. I don’t quite remember every one’s name but the ones I do, Cam, Kyle, Jacob, Jesse, Gerry, Connor, you all were amazing and fantastic job. Start to finish!

Mario came out to check the sump pump. After cleaning the pit out and checking both the main and backup pump he wiped everything done and left the area cleaner than when he got there. Very friendly and knowledgeable guy!

We recently had KC Waterproofing out at our home in North Kansas City, and I cannot say enough great things about Ryan Marshall and his team (Austin & Jacob). They worked at our property over the week of July 17/2025 - and absolutely blew us away with their professionalism, work ethic, and transparency.

Ryan took the time to thoroughly explain the problems we were facing, what caused them, and exactly how they were going to fix them. His honesty and willingness to go the extra mile truly set him apart.

Ryan and his assistant worked hard, were respectful of our home, and made sure everything was done right the first time. It's rare these days to find that level of care and craftsmanship. Because of professionals like Ryan, we’ll continue to turn to KC Waterproofing for future needs.

Highly recommend this company—especially if you get the chance to work with Ryan and his crew! When it comes to foundation issues we will always recommend KC Waterproofing. They have been in the business, are trusted, and will do the job correctly.

We had a very good experience with KC Waterproofing foundation repair on our house in south Kansas City in February and highly recommend you give them an opportunity to look at your foundation for an estimate and any work to be done.
