In this job overview, we will be discussing a project out in Overland Park, KS. Fernandos crew went out to Overland Park on May 23, 2018, for a job that included foundation repair involving helical tiebacks and crack repair. Every foundation repair job is different, and this one was not to straighten out the foundation walls at all but to stabilize the walls. Foundation repair is necessary because it can create problems with stability and safety in the home. It will also make your home difficult or impossible to sell in the future if you choose to do so.

Foundation Repair

Over the course of this job, Fernando and his crew installed five helical tiebacks on the north foundation wall. The wall was pushing inwards and needed to be stabilized. However, it did not need to be straightened as in most foundation repair cases. We installed the helical tiebacks and then added topsoil on top of the dirt from the tiebacks. We also added some around the sides of the home for the slope. This is helpful for waterproofing purposes. When water drains directly into the foundation because it has nowhere to go, the soil around the foundation becomes saturated and pushes against the walls. This can cause cracks and eventually bowing and leaning. Proper slope/grade is important for your home’s health.

Foundation Crack Repair

After we completed the job, we cleaned up the minimal mess. Then we talked with the customer about their experience and asked if they had any questions and if any follow-up was needed. We want to make sure that your home is safe and stable for you. If you’re having foundation problems, give KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair a call.

Everyone I’ve interacted with from KC Waterproofing has been a delight. Friendly, professional and hardworking - from our Foundation Specialist Patrick to every member of Schylur’s crew who completed the work. Their clear communication with me throughout the course of the project was very appreciated. The crew clearly enjoys working together as well as the work they are doing, which gives me full confidence in the caliber of the end result. I would contract them again without reservation and happily recommend them to anyone in need of crawl space waterproofing services.

Mario came out to redo an old crack from 25 yrs ago under the warranty. He was awesome. Super friendly. Noticed my son was military and spoke highly of that. Redid the fill and made it look better than before and cleaned up nicely. Thank you Mario!
