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.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​!
