Supervisor Keith completed a waterproofing, foundation, and crack repair job on April 20th, 2018, out of Osawatomie, KS for Tammy and Matt Leckner. We ended up installing 24 feet of exterior waterproofing and three helical tiebacks. We also completed some crack repairs on the premises as well.

Helical Tiebacks

Helical Tiebacks are usually used in cases where walls are bowing or leaning. Bowing and leaning walls can be extremely dangerous to the safety and stability of your home, and they need to be addressed immediately. They will not go away over time–they will only get worse.

In this case, by the time we had completed putting in the helical tiebacks, the wall was leaning in about 2 inches. The tiebacks apply tension to the wall and make it stable and secure. In addition, they do not involve much mess in the yard or inside the home for installation.

We then completed the basement waterproofing excavation on the wall. We added a 100% gravel backfill after completion. Basement waterproofing is important in cases where you have leaning or bowing walls because they are usually caused by hydrostatic (water) pressure on the foundation walls. This means that there is a drainage and/or waterproofing issue that needs to be resolved and no foundation repair will actually WORK without that. This is why we always try to find the root of the issue and fix both that and the damage it has caused.

After the project, we cleaned up the area, answered any questions from the Leckners, and then completed the job.

I am extremely grateful for the amazing work done by Gerry Reynolds and his crew at KC Water Proofing! They did an amazing job installing a drainage system, sub pump, and wall wrap. I would recommend them to anyone needing peace of mind in water proofing their sub basement. Thank you for the hard work!

We had a very positive experience with KC Waterproofing. Keith Clark and his crew and Julian Briones and his crew were knowledgeable and professional throughout the week. The project was explained to us by Camden Bales and went just as he explained. We had some issues with the amount of rock that was dug out. Camden came, and helped us and Keith decide the best solution. We were happy with the state of our yard and trees when they were finished with the piering. We want all of the men to know the were professional and used care while working in our project.
