In this job study, we are looking at a project out in North Kansas City, MO that was done by Keith’s crew. The homeowners called in with a problem with their crawl space. There were waterproofing problems and water damage in the crawl space that were causing major moistures issues within the crawl space.

When we got there, we spoke briefly with the homeowner and gave them an idea of what we would be doing while we were there and gave them another brief summary of the project. First, we fogged and dried out the crawl space. We did this because we wanted to make sure that we were building on dry, stable material that was not going to cause problems later down the line. It’s never a good idea to build on damp material because that can cause mold and moisture problems.

Next, we installed our crawl space vapor barrier. We did this along the entire crawl space to make sure that no area was left exposed to moisture and damp. The vapor barrier protects against water accumulating and can give the crawl space a nice, white finish that looks clean and fresh. Additionally, we made sure to install a dimple board underneath the barrier so that the homeowners were able to use the space as storage. We want to make sure that we’re not only fixing the issue but making that space usable again so that it can be another great area of the home.

Lastly, we installed a HP Sump Pump in the crawl space and a Santa Fe Advance Dehumidifier. These are protection methods in case water gets in despite all of our best efforts. This would be in the case of heavy rains, an accidental gutter clog, or other issues like that. A sump pump will direct the water away from the crawl space and make sure that belongings in storage are not wet and that minimal to no damage is caused to the crawl space from water. The dehumidifier will make sure that moisture isn’t forming in a cool crawl space vs. the hot outdoor weather. This can be a big issue in an ever-changing Midwestern environment.

We completed this job by installing two adjustable columns in the crawl space for support, and we completed the discharge for the sump pump. These columns will be invaluable in supporting the foundation and crawl space after the initial damage from water issues.

Dianne W.

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.

Gerry, Davan, and Mario came to check the new installed sump pump. Made sure everything was working.
I'd give everyone 10 stars if I could!!!!

Excellent service and work! I’ve worked with KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair twice now (for foundation work and most recently window well/waterproofing work). I have been satisfied with their work both times. Always easy to schedule and Recently Riley helped with a quote and was not pushy about moving forward; which was my experience a few years ago too. They don’t take up hours of time to give a quote which I appreciate. The team that did the recent work (main contact was Schuyler) were easy to work with and talk too, very kind. You can tell this group of people works together and works together well. They had a lot of hand digging and they did it very quickly. When an unexpected issue arose (removing some sidewalk) Schuyler laid out the what/why/how plainly in an easy to understand way. They did replace the sidewalk concrete. It was a big job and they got it done in a day and a half and were in high spirits throughout. They cleaned up a lot after the project too, which is appreciated. Schuyler did a final walk-through and answered any questions I had. Pricing was good too, I got another quote that was astronomical for pricing and the other company wasted 3 hours of my time to provide a quote. If I need anything in the future I won’t bother with a second quote as I’ve always had excellent experiences with KC Waterproofing. The support staff is very kind and helpful too, as well as prompt. Overall, excellent experiences; highly recommend!

Kathryn & Vaughn K.

Jesse and his crew did a great job on our basement! Every step of the process from day one and the walk through with Hal, to the final minute, it was an A+ experience. They were professional, communicative, and took pride in their work. I highly recommend KC Waterproofing to anyone who’s looking for waterproofing solutions for their basement.
