Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing in Raytown, Missouri

On April 24th, 2018, KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair and Fernando’s crew went to Raytown, MO for a waterproofing and foundation repair job. When we arrived, the crawl space was bowing inward 11 inches due to drainage issues! We obviously wanted to get this resolved as soon as possible to get the homeowners back to having a safe and comfortable home.

We installed 63 feet of exterior waterproofing to control and resolve drainage and gutter issues. We fix foundation issues from the inside and out–we want to go to the source and make sure that they are resolved. In many cases, walls will bow inwards due to hydrostatic pressure from water pushing on the foundation walls.

Next, we installed 16 plate anchors to stabilize and support the wall and make sure that any bowing was resolved. Plate anchors work to help to bow and leaning walls and to close cracks in foundation walls. The plate anchor is put in from the outside and tightened into place. Plate anchors can also be tightened over time to avoid stress on already fragile walls. There is not much mess and you can easily cover it up when finished.

When we were done, the tape measure showed the bowing wall right at 3 inches (as opposed to 11 inches earlier). Over time, the wall can be straightened even more from the inside. If we tightened it too much, too soon, we could severely damage the wall. After the job, we cleaned up the area, made sure the client was satisfied, answered any questions, and completed the job.

Mario was on time,efficient and did a great job!

Brad G.

We needed waterproofing around the entire basement as well as removal of concrete stairs, epoxy crack injection, and wall reinforcement. Everyone we worked with from beginning to end was great, and they were flexible with our schedule. The entire crew was very professional and talked us through each step of the repairs and improvements. They were done with all of the work in 4 days! We would highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we have any future foundation needs.

Skylar and his team did excellent work. They arrived on time first thing in the morning and immediately put my mind at ease. Originally thought it would be a two day job, but they wrapped up the work before 3 on day one. Everything about the experience was top notch. From the original estimator Riley to the work itself. Would happily recommend to friends and family.

We did not go with KC Waterproofing...Why? Because of the integrity and honesty of the salesman Jeff Wolfe. The first question Jeff asked was what would be our deciding factors, and we said the contractor's reputation for quality & honesty and the ability to assess the situation and present a proven & cost-effective solution. Jeff could have proposed solutions similar to other contractors, but he gave us his HONEST recommendation that our foundation issues don't necessitate corrective action at this point and he told us what to watch for if the issues getting worse. Jeff and KC Waterproofing will be our first call if the problem gets worse, and the contractor we recommend to friends and neighbors.

Had an initial consultation with Camden. He was upfront, professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. We haven’t yet made a decision as to next steps, but our experience with the consult was top-notch.
