Piering Repair to Settling Garage Slab

On April 21, 2018, Keith’s KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair crew were in Olathe, KS. Mr. Chris Dennis had a settling garage slab that was causing his walls to sustain damage. This is considered a foundation repair because we are repairing the foundation of the garage.

To fix this issue, we first installed four piers, three along the west side of the garage, which had sustained the most settling issues, and one pier on the north side of the garage. In total, the slab had sunk two inches! Three of these piers were standard steel piers and the other one was a 250 ECP, Earth Contact Products pier. Piers are driven deep into the ground into stable soil. A plate is then affixed to the foundation and the two are attached. The weight of the foundation then rests upon the piers and gives it the stability and strength that it was previously lacking.

All in all, everything went well and the customer was satisfied. Before Keith’s crew left, they cleaned up the area, talked with the homeowner about their experience, covered any questions or concerns that they might have, and packed up their gear.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any final photos of the holes we dug for the piers being filled–the homeowner was doing it himself! We love participation! After the issue was resolved, we answered any questions the homeowner had, cleaned up the area, and packed up our equipment and crew.

Satisfied Customer Reviews

Lou

The gentleman were on time. Very courteous. The foreman gave us a projected time frame for completion of the work and he was very close. We expected the project to take longer. They answered all our questions.

Deb R.

Mario was on time,efficient and did a great job!

Brad G.

We needed waterproofing around the entire basement as well as removal of concrete stairs, epoxy crack injection, and wall reinforcement. Everyone we worked with from beginning to end was great, and they were flexible with our schedule. The entire crew was very professional and talked us through each step of the repairs and improvements. They were done with all of the work in 4 days! We would highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we have any future foundation needs.

Skylar and his team did excellent work. They arrived on time first thing in the morning and immediately put my mind at ease. Originally thought it would be a two day job, but they wrapped up the work before 3 on day one. Everything about the experience was top notch. From the original estimator Riley to the work itself. Would happily recommend to friends and family.

Arthur B.

The workers were very courteous and they did a wonderful job

Scott S.

We did not go with KC Waterproofing...Why? Because of the integrity and honesty of the salesman Jeff Wolfe. The first question Jeff asked was what would be our deciding factors, and we said the contractor's reputation for quality & honesty and the ability to assess the situation and present a proven & cost-effective solution. Jeff could have proposed solutions similar to other contractors, but he gave us his HONEST recommendation that our foundation issues don't necessitate corrective action at this point and he told us what to watch for if the issues getting worse. Jeff and KC Waterproofing will be our first call if the problem gets worse, and the contractor we recommend to friends and neighbors.
