In this job overview, we will focus on a project done by Fernando’s crew in Bonner Springs, KS on March 23, 2018. This was a foundation repair and waterproofing job. This customer had had previous work done by another contractor with concrete anchors, but he was still having problems. We stepped in at this point, performed a free estimate, and determined that the customer needed a foundation fix along with waterproofing.

Foundation Failure case study in Bonner Springs

We installed fifty-seven feet of exterior waterproofing, and this was because we wanted to make sure that any water was going to have proper drainage and go away from the home and not stay inside. After this, we put in three carbon fiber straps and four plate anchors. This usually means that there is a leaning or bowing wall that needs to be straightened out. In this case, the foundation was moving. We installed the anchors on the north wall, as well as carbon fiber straps. The excavation was on the north wall as well.

Why had the foundation previously failed? It really depended on what was done with the foundation work previously. If the previous contractor had taken into account the source of the problem instead of just fixing the damage and had used the correct materials, it may have been a different story. The source of the damage is usually the most important part because, like a weed, if you don’t get to the source you will never fix the problem. If water was causing foundation damage (leaning or bowing walls and moving foundation), the solution is to resolve the waterproofing issue and fix the damage that has been done to the foundation. This is a two-step process that is important in all good foundation repair and waterproofing work done on your home or business. Make sure the contractor is looking at the source of the issue and not just fixing it for now.

This is the second time I've used this company. Great company. They have good employees. Fran did a great job of explaining everything, even the financing. I thought the lending company had great options. When it was time for my French drains to be installed. They came on time and ready. They even did a crawl space protective cover. Great team, they worked well together. Took the whole day but got it all done. Cleaned up well afterwards. The price was reasonable. Jackson explained everything as it went along. Kind, friendly service.

Mario serviced my sump pump today and did a good job. He also replaced tape on my wall shield. He provided excellent customer service and was willing ti come out any time needed or said to call him anytime if I had any questions.

KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair has taken incredible care of my home through multiple visits. Gary and Davan handled my initial sump pump installation and crack repairs, and they were not only skilled but genuinely thoughtful throughout the process. We had a bit of early miscommunication, and instead of brushing it aside, they listened, acknowledged what happened, and adjusted the plan so everything aligned with what I needed.

They brought me in at every step—walking me through pump location options, explaining the exit pipe decisions, and making sure I felt confident about the work being done. Their friendliness and respect made a stressful repair feel manageable.

Later on, I had some cracks that needed to be reassessed, and Mario came out to take a look. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough, and he did an amazing job with the additional repairs. His calm, reassuring approach made me feel completely taken care of.

I also want to highlight Don, the manager, who is just as kind and committed to making sure customers feel heard and supported. It’s clear this team truly values doing right by people.

I’m grateful for their care and would absolutely recommend them for any foundation repair or waterproofing needs.

We were very pleased with KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. The foundation specialist, Camden Bales, explained the process we would need to fix our foundation. We felt very confident in the work that was going to be completed. The crew, headed by Jackson Kleeman, worked very hard every day and kept us well informed of their progress. They arrived on time every day and cleaned up before leaving each night. They were polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. Overall, we are completely satisfied with the job that they did. When they finished, you couldn’t tell that work had been done. Great job!

Sump pump backup pump activated an alarm so I scheduled a checkup to make sure everything was fine. Mario called before coming and was very polite. He showed up on time and got straight to work, I was not home at the time and asked him to call me with the results. He diagnosed the problem and then called me to run through results and also provide some more info on the pump operation. Very easy to work with, good communication, smart guy. Would use him for service again.

KC Waterproofing did a great job installing a new sump pump and other water mitigation items. Friendly crew, arrived each day as planned and finished in just 2.5 days!

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.
