Protection that stays with your home, even when you sell.

The structural integrity of your home rests – literally – on the stability of its foundation.

The structural integrity of your home rests – literally – on the stability of its foundation. That makes foundation trouble serious business. Unfortunately, foundation repair in Kansas City isn’t cheap. In some cases, repairing a foundation can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and your insurance probably won’t cover the repair cost unless a natural disaster causes the problem. To make sure that your foundation stays stable, contact our Kansas City foundation inspection company.

Fortunately, foundation problems still in their early stages are less expensive to repair. That means you can save money by proactively scheduling routine foundation inspections and foundation repair estimates with our Kansas City contractors. That will help you spot foundation issues early before they turn into big problems that will cost you a lot of money to fix.
A home foundation inspection is when an experienced, licensed foundation repair contractor inspects your home’s foundation to make sure it’s structurally sound. When you hire KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, our team of experts will look inside and outside your home for signs of foundation issues.
You need to have your home’s foundation inspected if you’ve spotted:
You also need a foundation inspection after an earthquake, a flood, or other natural disasters. A foundation inspection is also necessary if you’re buying or selling a home. If you’re buying a home, you’ll know if any repairs are necessary, and you’ll be able to figure that amount into your offer. If you’re selling a home, a foundation inspection could show the buyer that the home is sound.
We provide two distinct foundation inspection options tailored to the level of insight you need about your foundation’s condition. If you’re noticing clear signs of foundation problems, our complimentary foundation inspection is likely the best fit. However, if you’re unsure about potential issues and prefer a comprehensive assessment of your foundation’s health, our Benchmark Foundation Inspection is the ideal choice. Below, we’ve detailed the key differences between these two inspection services.
A KC Waterproofing Benchmark Report is an in-depth, detailed foundation inspection that allows you to document the health of your home’s foundation at the time of inspection. A KC Waterproofing Benchmark Report allows you to compare the results of future foundation inspections to the Benchmark Report to know if your home is experiencing settlement and how much.
A Benchmark Report allows the proactive homeowner to monitor what’s happening with their foundation and, if necessary, take steps to prevent minor foundation issues from turning into big problems that are expensive to repair. Our foundation inspection company in Kansas City across KS and MO recommends a Benchmark Report for all new homeowners because it allows you to take a “snapshot” of your foundation’s health. You’ll know exactly where things stand at the time of the report.
Our foundation Benchmark Report includes:
A KC Waterproofing Benchmark Report foundation inspection typically takes 2-3 hours depending on the size of the home and will vary somewhat depending on the type of foundation. Below are screenshots from an actual Benchmark Report. Here’s a breakdown: We completed the first Benchmark Report for this customer on November 12, 2020, using 21 data points to document foundation settlement. The red areas indicate more severe settlement.
On November 12, 2020, we found 3.3 inches of settlement in the area located in the upper left on the topographical map (Survey 1). When we went back to the property over a year later, on December 28, 2021 (Survey 2), we found that the ground in that area had lifted (possibly due to increased rainfall), and now there was only 2.70 inches of settlement.
The purple map indicates the difference between the data points on 11/12/20 and those taken a little over a year later on 12/28/21 . A Benchmark Report enables homeowners to monitor what’s happening and to spot seasonal changes with their foundation. This helps them make the right decision on when to repair and what to repair.

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.
Connor and his crew did an excellent job fixing our foundation. I can't believe they finish it in 5 days. Hardworking and professional crew. I would recommend them to anybody. Even clean up the basement really well.
Connor and his crew did an excellent job fixing our foundation. They finish it in 5 days and we love the result. Left our basement spotless as well. Would recommend them to anybody.
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.
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!
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.
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!
Excellent service and work! I’ve worked with KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair twice now (for foundation work and most recently window well/waterproofing work). I have been satisfied with their work both times. Always easy to schedule and Recently Riley helped with a quote and was not pushy about moving forward; which was my experience a few years ago too. They don’t take up hours of time to give a quote which I appreciate. The team that did the recent work (main contact was Schuyler) were easy to work with and talk too, very kind. You can tell this group of people works together and works together well. They had a lot of hand digging and they did it very quickly. When an unexpected issue arose (removing some sidewalk) Schuyler laid out the what/why/how plainly in an easy to understand way. They did replace the sidewalk concrete. It was a big job and they got it done in a day and a half and were in high spirits throughout. They cleaned up a lot after the project too, which is appreciated. Schuyler did a final walk-through and answered any questions I had. Pricing was good too, I got another quote that was astronomical for pricing and the other company wasted 3 hours of my time to provide a quote. If I need anything in the future I won’t bother with a second quote as I’ve always had excellent experiences with KC Waterproofing. The support staff is very kind and helpful too, as well as prompt. Overall, excellent experiences; highly recommend!
We had a leak in what we thought was our foundation. Water coming in under our basement floor. Francis Heisinger came and checked it out for us. He could have recommended a French drain that would entail digging, pipes, removing and replacing concrete and lots of money. Being the honest man that he is, he gave us his opinion as to what the problem entailed. Thank you so very much. Should we ever need foundation work done, we will definitely use this company!
