On April 26th, 2018, Keith’s crew went out to Olathe, KS for a foundation repair job. When Keith’s crew got to the site, they met with the homeowner and talked with him about the process that would take place and what to expect. They also discussed questions that he had and thoroughly explained every answer.

The crew installed six Earth Contact Products 250 Piers on the northwest side of his home. KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair uses Earth Contact Products because they are a trusted name in the industry, have American-made products, and is a family owned operation out of Kansas. We work with people and products that we trust so we can pass on that trust and security to our customers.

Piers were installed due to foundation settlement and sinking. This is common with homes that are built on shifting soils, improperly compacted soil, or any number of other reasons. While there is usually always some small amount of settlement in all homes, there should never be noticeable large cracks and sloped flooring. In this case, the homeowner had previously had piering work done in 2012 and 2015. He had five piers installed on February 4, 2015, and seven piers installed on January 10, 2012.

Foundation piers worked with this foundation by being driven deep into the ground and into a foundation bracket for the piering system. They were attached, and then the foundation was lifted to an adequate height to match the rest of the home. The home was then supported by the piers. This can sometimes be a process that takes a little while because you can’t dramatically lift a house without some damage. This is why we like to take it slow to get the best and most secure results.

Diana R.

Brandon and his crew did a fabulous job. Brandon and the guys were very respectful always saying good morning and letting me know when they went to lunch. Brandon explained the job as they worked and made sure I was comfortable with everything. He moved plants that were in the way and put they back exactly where they were. My yard was left exactly as they found it. The only way anyone could tell that KC Waterproofing had done any work at my house was by the sign that they put in the yard. I rate this crew 10 plus.

Installer was on time and professional. Took his time to answer all of my wife’s questions, and left the work area cleaner than he found it.

KC Waterproofing sent Mario out to my home to give me an estimate on a new sump pump. Mario was great and answered all my questions. I especially like how transparent he was about all the services they have and what they could do to help improve my system. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Mario came and re-checked our foundation numbers from previous piering. He was very knowledgeable, reassuring, and professional. He made sure we got our results quickly and was very responsive to communication. I appreciate Mario’s effort!

KC Waterproofing is a highly professional organization. Their staff is friendly and helpful. Not surprising they’ve been in business for many years.

Steven S.

Hal was professional, courteous, and efficient. When he arrived he said what he planned on doing, how long it would take, and was able to evaluate my basement in an hour, providing several good options for waterproofing, with details on the costs and benefits of each. I highly recommend KC Waterproofing when you look for options.

Dellie M.

We called about a crack in the basement wall that would leak after heavy rains. Mario came out and went above and beyond on the repair to where I’ve got complete piece of mind knowing I won’t have any further issues with leaks.

Cece S.

Joe B.

Mario was very helpful on his visit to my home. I was concerned about one of the anchors that was installed this summer. He assured me that all was intact and doing like it is supposed to be doing. Thank you Mario!
