Raytown, MO Exterior Waterproofing and Plate Anchors
Home » Raytown, MO Exterior Waterproofing and Plate Anchors
On April 24th, 2018, KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair and Fernando’s crew went to Raytown, MO for a waterproofing and foundation repair job. When we arrived, the crawl space was bowing inward 11 inches due to drainage issues! We obviously wanted to get this resolved as soon as possible to get the homeowners back to having a safe and comfortable home.
We installed 63 feet of exterior waterproofing to control and resolve drainage and gutter issues. We fix foundation issues from the inside and out–we want to go to the source and make sure that they are resolved. In many cases, walls will bow inwards due to hydrostatic pressure from water pushing on the foundation walls.
Next, we installed 16 plate anchors to stabilize and support the wall and make sure that any bowing was resolved. Plate anchors work to help to bow and leaning walls and to close cracks in foundation walls. The plate anchor is put in from the outside and tightened into place. Plate anchors can also be tightened over time to avoid stress on already fragile walls. There is not much mess and you can easily cover it up when finished.
When we were done, the tape measure showed the bowing wall right at 3 inches (as opposed to 11 inches earlier). Over time, the wall can be straightened even more from the inside. If we tightened it too much, too soon, we could severely damage the wall. After the job, we cleaned up the area, made sure the client was satisfied, answered any questions, and completed the job.

Matt was very knowledgeable and kind. Answered all my 97 year old mom’s many questions. He knew what he was doing and explained it very thoroughly. Top notch.
Scott explained everything in easy to understand terms. I am confident that he was honest and thorough. He was not the first estimate we have gotten but he was the most impressive.Keith and Jesse arrived at the appointed time and explained what we could expect, then got started. The project took a little longer than expected because they had to go deeper than anticipated. The last day of the project brought a third guy. I regrettably did not learn his name but he performed admirably. The job was completed as Keith told us and the only mess left behind was the mess we made moving things out of the way.Keith explained the confusing emails that my wife received was due to an outage of Verizon. We were happy with everyone involved throughout the process, from estimator to office personnel to the eventual workers who performed like rock stars. I will heartily recommend KC Waterproofing to anyone who is faced with foundation issues. We have complete confidence that our problems will not revisit us. The crew checked our sticking door throughout the lifting process to make sure it was working properly. We are relieved to have this behind us.
These guys HUSTLED! They were fast, efficient, neat, and so friendly. They did an excellent job, and I highly recommend using this company. From initial quote to final job, everyone has been informative, and low pressure. Wonderful company!
Scott came out and was helpful to finding a solution to our foundation issue. We look forward to being able to work again with KC Waterproofing, they are an excellent company that are easy to work with and have helped us in the past.
Everyone I spoke with at the company was very personable and kind. They took care of all our needs and on top of that, offered competitive pricing compared to other companies we interviewed.
Friendly and knowledgeable. No hassle honest quote provided. Very happy with the quick response and quote given.
Great customer service! Scott arrived on time, went over how he would assess the situation, and then explained different solutions to our problem. We appreciate his communication and listened to our concerns - very professional!!
We have used this company for our basement, and their work has always been high quality. They come back and make any repairs to their work that happen, and are always timely and professional.
Excellent communication and follow up with our appointment. Our technician, Mario, explained everything that he was doing to maintain our dehumidifier unit and a plan going forward to keep it running well.
Jackson Kleeman was very professional.His Boss on the other hand could use some job etiquette. His boss tried to run the project from his desk. I hope I never need the boss again!

Mario was great! After my previous sump pump wasn't doing its job, KC Waterproofing sent out Mario with a new sump pump. Mario was polite, knowledgable, and friendly. I haven't always had great experiences with KC Waterproofing, but this time I was happy with the service.

My first initial contact was with Levi and he had the plan he gave me suggestion and he finished off the master plan to get things done. Initially I wanted to do a new discharge for the old sump pump and realized the company looked like they had their things in order and wanted to go ahead and put in the second sump pump to finish the basement. Levi made the switch over easy and put me in contact with Rhonda who flawlessly was able to switch up billing services and allow me to do my new transaction online for new invoice. I was put in contact with the ground person doing the actual work whose name is Dontay. Dante and his crew did such an outstanding job. They were professional they were timely and most importantly any concerns it seems that Dante were able to point out an address ahead of time and made all proper calls when needed. After dealing with some other companies that seem to have left doubt in my mind I have restored faith in this company. Update 2024. Mario Verdeja did follow up and maintenance for 2024. Excellent job, excellent job, excellent job.

Scott was on-time, very friendly, courteous and informative. He went around the home inside and out and took laser level measurements to show us what was happening with the foundation walls. He then gave us an estimate on the spot with the best way to mitigate any foundation movement in the future. Nicely done!

Brandon and his crew did a fabulous job. Brandon and the guys were very respectful always saying good morning and letting me know when they went to lunch. Brandon explained the job as they worked and made sure I was comfortable with everything. He moved plants that were in the way and put they back exactly where they were. My yard was left exactly as they found it. The only way anyone could tell that KC Waterproofing had done any work at my house was by the sign that they put in the yard. I rate this crew 10 plus.

We just completed a visit for an estimate with Don. He was very polite, thorough, and detailed about the proposed solution to water leakage in the basement. He answered all our questions and his solution was straight forward and included a good, ongoing warranty. We are favorably reviewing what he proposed.We agreed to the proposal by KC Waterproofing. The work was completed in two days, as proposed. Our concerns were for good dust control from jackhammering for the drainage trench. There was excellent dust control in all areas. The trench workmanship was excellent and there was creative preservation of the basement stairs and existing floor column. The penetration through the stone wall went very well for the sump pump discharge. Very good work by Ryan and Des, and good cleanup.We had our annual check by Connor. He was very thorough, cleaning the pumps and the sump. Everything works properly and the stone walls are dryer. There was no water running across the floor this year.

Fran performed a pre-listing foundation repair evaluation for my clients. He listened intently as they described the issues they were experiencing, asking questions to understand exactly how they wanted to approach the repairs. He offered 2 different options to complete the work. He spent 30 min taking measurements and preparing the estimate, then walked the homeowners through the options, associated costs and payment options. He answered any and all questions they had. The homeowners were previously so nervous about what they would hear but by the time Fran was finished, they were breathing a huge sigh of relief. Bonus points for the fully transferable warranty they can include in the sale of their home.

They were very courteous and hard-working The young men from Kc Water Proofing from what I could tell did a very excellent efficient job on my foundation work but there were two young men. I don’t remember their names who stood out from all the men that came to work on my property. They were big husky fellas and I feel that they took the brunt, of the hard work upon themselves. And I respect that . I gave everyone a tip before they left today. I feel that those two young men deserve a better tip so I think that would allow them to have my information. They can call me and I’d like to give them a better tip . I’m not saying it wasn’t a team effort but these two fellas impressed me .

Don, the owner was very helpful in assessing and proposing fixes for our problem. He was not pushy and was very personable and appeared trustworthy and was willing to work with us to fix the issue within our budget by being willing to offer various solutions. His cost was reasonable compared to soothers. He did a good job explaining the options and pros and cons of each. Ryan, who came to do the work, was hardworking, friendly, and professional. He addressed my questions and concerns and communicated well throughout the job. He didn’t complain at all when he had to dig several ditches in the yard, but just got to it. Very impressed with him!
