On April 26th, 2018, Keith’s crew went out to Olathe, KS for a foundation repair job. When Keith’s crew got to the site, they met with the homeowner and talked with him about the process that would take place and what to expect. They also discussed questions that he had and thoroughly explained every answer.

The crew installed six Earth Contact Products 250 Piers on the northwest side of his home. KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair uses Earth Contact Products because they are a trusted name in the industry, have American-made products, and is a family owned operation out of Kansas. We work with people and products that we trust so we can pass on that trust and security to our customers.

Piers were installed due to foundation settlement and sinking. This is common with homes that are built on shifting soils, improperly compacted soil, or any number of other reasons. While there is usually always some small amount of settlement in all homes, there should never be noticeable large cracks and sloped flooring. In this case, the homeowner had previously had piering work done in 2012 and 2015. He had five piers installed on February 4, 2015, and seven piers installed on January 10, 2012.

Foundation piers worked with this foundation by being driven deep into the ground and into a foundation bracket for the piering system. They were attached, and then the foundation was lifted to an adequate height to match the rest of the home. The home was then supported by the piers. This can sometimes be a process that takes a little while because you can’t dramatically lift a house without some damage. This is why we like to take it slow to get the best and most secure results.

Fast and good!

Dianne W.

A sump pump was installed very quickly.
Gerry and Davan were excellent. They protected the house and basement from extra dust and just going in and out to get the tools.
Digging up the yard to install the pipe...they replaced the sod and cleared the extra yard waste. Also they were very friendly with our dog.

Gerry, Davan, and Mario came to check the new installed sump pump. Made sure everything was working.
I'd give everyone 10 stars if I could!!!!

Excellent service and work! I’ve worked with KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair twice now (for foundation work and most recently window well/waterproofing work). I have been satisfied with their work both times. Always easy to schedule and Recently Riley helped with a quote and was not pushy about moving forward; which was my experience a few years ago too. They don’t take up hours of time to give a quote which I appreciate. The team that did the recent work (main contact was Schuyler) were easy to work with and talk too, very kind. You can tell this group of people works together and works together well. They had a lot of hand digging and they did it very quickly. When an unexpected issue arose (removing some sidewalk) Schuyler laid out the what/why/how plainly in an easy to understand way. They did replace the sidewalk concrete. It was a big job and they got it done in a day and a half and were in high spirits throughout. They cleaned up a lot after the project too, which is appreciated. Schuyler did a final walk-through and answered any questions I had. Pricing was good too, I got another quote that was astronomical for pricing and the other company wasted 3 hours of my time to provide a quote. If I need anything in the future I won’t bother with a second quote as I’ve always had excellent experiences with KC Waterproofing. The support staff is very kind and helpful too, as well as prompt. Overall, excellent experiences; highly recommend!

Mario fixed a crack in my foundation. Great work and super nice guy?

Kathryn & Vaughn K.

Jesse and his crew did a great job on our basement! Every step of the process from day one and the walk through with Hal, to the final minute, it was an A+ experience. They were professional, communicative, and took pride in their work. I highly recommend KC Waterproofing to anyone who’s looking for waterproofing solutions for their basement.
