Mid-Continent Public Library, Kansas City, Missouri

Part of the largest library system in the Kansas City metropolitan area, this public service institution provides a lot to the local community. And while the historic, brick structure looks as solid as a rock, over time the foundation below had been settling. The structure’s walls were beginning to show some wear. Public officials in charge of the structure called KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to take a look.

KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair professionals installed 26 exterior piers to an average depth of 16, lifting the southeast corner of the structure a full 1.5, and stabilizing the south and west walls to prevent further damage.

Don Derry with KC Waterproofing has been our "go-to" foundation repair specialist since 2005! We have had him to our homes multiple times. The project always wraps up with us having peace of mind. This past time with 14 piers installed, was no exception. His crew was polite and respectful. They cleaned up our property perfectly at the conclusion of the project. I highly recommend this foundation repair company.

We recently had KC Waterproofing out at our home in North Kansas City, and I cannot say enough great things about Ryan Marshall and his team (Austin & Jacob). They worked at our property over the week of July 17/2025 - and absolutely blew us away with their professionalism, work ethic, and transparency.

Ryan took the time to thoroughly explain the problems we were facing, what caused them, and exactly how they were going to fix them. His honesty and willingness to go the extra mile truly set him apart.

Ryan and his assistant worked hard, were respectful of our home, and made sure everything was done right the first time. It's rare these days to find that level of care and craftsmanship. Because of professionals like Ryan, we’ll continue to turn to KC Waterproofing for future needs.

Highly recommend this company—especially if you get the chance to work with Ryan and his crew! When it comes to foundation issues we will always recommend KC Waterproofing. They have been in the business, are trusted, and will do the job correctly.

I recommend KC Waterproofing. They kept me informed as the job went along. They started and ended as they had said. Cleaned up each day before they left. Price was fair and they were able to stabilize walls without excavation which was good so I didn’t have to deal with landscaping. Fran and Julian were professional and easy to work with.
