How We Added a Waterproofing System in Independence
Home » How We Added a Waterproofing System in Independence
This job study will focus on a job from April 6, 2018, out of Independence, MO. When Keith’s crew arrived, they talked with the homeowner and explained the process and reviewed what would happen during the project. They also answered any questions that were still left to be asked. This was a waterproofing job without foundation damage repair.
Keith’s crew first installed fifty-seven feet of our Basement Guardian System along the east, north, and south wall. This is a system which is designed for stopping water from coming into the basement by managing the water in the soil and directing it to a sump pump to be removed from under the floor. We installed a 1/3HP Sump Pump as well here to redirect any extra water that should come in along the southeast corner of the home. We installed a small drain that connects to the system underneath the doorway will help control water. The system comes with a Lifetime Warranty and you can transfer it to the new property owner. This is a great investment for your home because not only will you have one less thing to stress about, but you’ll save yourself some trouble if you ever decide to sell your home.
After the job was completed, Keith and his crew cleaned up the area and answered any questions the homeowner may have had.

Waterproofing is essential if you want your foundation to stay safe, dry, and stable for the rest of its life span. There are small things that you can do yourself to keep water away from the foundation. These include making sure that the gutters are at least five feet away from the foundation, that you have a proper slope next to the home (i.e. water is not pooling next to the foundation), and that you are checking your home for cracks and water damage in the foundation walls. All of these steps, plus regular maintenance and checkups, will help keep your home safe and stable.

Ryan and his crew did a good job…cleaned up good when thru. Also offered suggestions that helped us.
Mario was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He arrived right on time and quickly diagnosed the issue we were having. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done, answered all my questions patiently, and even offered some helpful tips for ongoing maintenance.

The guys worked Thier butts off! They did the job in a timely manor, respected our old house and cleaned the site up when done. Ok this is our second job with KC Waterproofing, we highly recommend!
I’ve had their waterproofing system and carbon fiber straps installed in my house. They did a great job and ensured my personal property was protected. Everyone involved was professional and very friendly. Thank you Mario and Connor for your hard work on the latest project!
They came and did a free inspection for me and the guy who did the inspection was super nice and helpful and we grew up in the same area out of state
KC Waterproofing is amazing! I misread the date of my service they were able to get me in that weekend so I could have additional work done on my basement the following Monday. I am so happy with the work they did, Mario was great and always showed up on time and does exceptional work. The communication with the office staff is also really great and I never felt in the dark about the work I was having done. Overall I will be recommending them to anyone who needs foundation work!
Mario did a great job sealing our main water intake leak and gave us some tips to further help. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the service and solution we wanted. Thank you so much.
Present: Mario was prompt, friendly, professional, and thorough!Past: The crew showed up on time and they were friendly and professional, taking care to protect my floors and clean up after they were done. There were a few glitches along the way, but Don made sure everything was done with efficacy and to my satisfaction. My crawlspace was a disaster, but now it’s clean, sealed, and dry! Thanks KCWaterproofing!~ Christen
We had a choice between Thrasher & KC Waterproofing. Thrasher never showed up for our consultation and now they call me almost every day. Hiring KC Waterproofing was a good decision. Everybody involved in our repairs were knowledgeable, patient & respectful. We even got a military discount. Thank you guys very much. Don, Jake, Julian and everyone else. We are grateful and will continue to recommend y’all.
The installers were nice and clear on explaining their work when asked. The aftermath was well done. I would recommend their service to any of my close peers. Thank you, Waterproof

KC Waterproofing turned our nightmare of a house into a brand new home. We bought our house a year ago, it had prior foundation repair done. We called a “structural engineer” to come out before we bought, and he assured us our house was okay. After multiple floods in our basement and the prior company refusing to return our phone calls, we started getting multiple bids. Choosing KC Waterproofing was very easy. They quoted us for what really needed to be done and told us what we could do ourselves to save money. I never thought I would trust again until I met these guys.. The CEO, Don Deary is a truly an amazing guy. He came to the house twice to check on the progress of the project. The workers were very knowledgeable, and respectful. The quality of work for the price we paid, is unmatched. Thank you so much KC Waterproofing.

After having a poor experience with a different company, we made sure we got multiple quotes for our ongoing basement flooding and foundation concerns.Matt L came out to give us our quotes and evaluate our issues which included ongoing basement flooding through our windows as well as improper grading. He was very professional and kind, explained everything that was simple to understand but thorough.We got the side of our house re-graded by Gerry and his team. They were efficient, thorough, and professional. They helped us look at other potential repairs based on our concerns!Our windows were replaced by Dean who did an excellent job! They look amazing. The job site got cleaned flawlessly you wouldn’t even know he was there. The windows are a huge upgrade.We received quotes from 4 companies, however KC Waterproofing was by far the best company to work with start to finish. The coordinated the job so multiple crews came on the same day, which really helped me. They were the only ones that provided solutions at different cost levels, provided a quote on time and reviewed it with us, easy to schedule and communicate with, as well as overall professional. Their pricing was very reasonable and competitive with all other bids. I would definitely recommend them! I’m bummed I didn’t take before photos.

(2024 Job) I hired KC Waterproofing for another project after they did such a great job the first time. We had piers added to our foundation in the interior and exterior of the house. Ryan and his crew did a great job, were always on time, and cleaned up very well after themselves. I will only use this company for anything foundation related, no one else.(2022 Job) Don and Dontay & his crew were absolutely fantastic. The finished result looked great and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their basement waterproofed.

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 .
