This job study focuses on a project in Belton, MO on May 21st, 2018. Keith’s crew arrived at the job site and started work on foundation repair. The windows on the property were not shutting properly, and there was separation from the concrete flooring on the inside of the building too. Usually, this is a sign that the foundation is settling or that there is some sort of foundation damage.

While it may seem like humidity is the culprit for doors and windows not shutting right, this is usually not the case. Most of the time, doors and windows are not shutting correctly because the floor beneath them is being pushed out of its original position by either a settling foundation or some sort of foundation damage like bowing or leaning walls. Separation of flooring from the wall is also a big sign that there is a problem bigger than humidity on your hands.

Keith’s crew installed nine ECP, Earth Contact Products, 350 Piers on the west and south side of the building. Piers are driven deep into the soil where it is highly compacted and then a bracket is affixed to the foundation. The two are then attached and the weight of the building now rests on the piers. There are a few different types of piers, and what you need will depend on your specific situation. This will be discussed in detail with you during your free estimate.

If you notice that your doors and windows are not closing correctly, don’t blame the humidity! Instead, give KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair a call so that we can come out and give you a free estimate of what we believe the problem to be. We can answer any questions that you may have, and we’ll go through the process of what we’ll do with your foundation or waterproofing problem. Contact us to get started!

This is the second time I've used this company. Great company. They have good employees. Fran did a great job of explaining everything, even the financing. I thought the lending company had great options. When it was time for my French drains to be installed. They came on time and ready. They even did a crawl space protective cover. Great team, they worked well together. Took the whole day but got it all done. Cleaned up well afterwards. The price was reasonable. Jackson explained everything as it went along. Kind, friendly service.

Mario serviced my sump pump today and did a good job. He also replaced tape on my wall shield. He provided excellent customer service and was willing ti come out any time needed or said to call him anytime if I had any questions.

KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair has taken incredible care of my home through multiple visits. Gary and Davan handled my initial sump pump installation and crack repairs, and they were not only skilled but genuinely thoughtful throughout the process. We had a bit of early miscommunication, and instead of brushing it aside, they listened, acknowledged what happened, and adjusted the plan so everything aligned with what I needed.

They brought me in at every step—walking me through pump location options, explaining the exit pipe decisions, and making sure I felt confident about the work being done. Their friendliness and respect made a stressful repair feel manageable.

Later on, I had some cracks that needed to be reassessed, and Mario came out to take a look. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough, and he did an amazing job with the additional repairs. His calm, reassuring approach made me feel completely taken care of.

I also want to highlight Don, the manager, who is just as kind and committed to making sure customers feel heard and supported. It’s clear this team truly values doing right by people.

I’m grateful for their care and would absolutely recommend them for any foundation repair or waterproofing needs.

Great price, great work! In just 3 days, Jesse’s team added two sump pumps and over 40’ feet of channeling with the full wall systems. No more towels, fans, and dehumidifier after every big rain storm!

We were very pleased with KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. The foundation specialist, Camden Bales, explained the process we would need to fix our foundation. We felt very confident in the work that was going to be completed. The crew, headed by Jackson Kleeman, worked very hard every day and kept us well informed of their progress. They arrived on time every day and cleaned up before leaving each night. They were polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. Overall, we are completely satisfied with the job that they did. When they finished, you couldn’t tell that work had been done. Great job!

Sump pump backup pump activated an alarm so I scheduled a checkup to make sure everything was fine. Mario called before coming and was very polite. He showed up on time and got straight to work, I was not home at the time and asked him to call me with the results. He diagnosed the problem and then called me to run through results and also provide some more info on the pump operation. Very easy to work with, good communication, smart guy. Would use him for service again.
