Foundation Repair Experts: Case Study

PierMagic is the leading foundation specialists servicing Kansas City metro for foundation repair, foundation piering, and crack sealing. Check out this specific case study on foundation repair and new concrete project.

Horizontal Cracks and Foundation Repair Overview

PierMagic Foundation Specialists services Jackson, Johnson, Cass, Wyandotte, Platte and Clay County homeowners providing exceptional service while keeping homes safe and stable for generations to come. Based upon a referral, this Kansas City, MO resident inquired about finding a company who not only specializes in foundation repair, but also provides new concrete flatwork to replace their driveway and front sidewalk. The combination of services that PierMagic provides solidified their decision to proceed.


The homeowner communicated their issue to our team: their garage floor was sinking so much, it was causing the cinder block foundation wall to pull away from the home. This resulted in a bowed wall and horizontal cracks along the foundation. The home was built in the early 1950's and the issues present were more than normal settlement and wear and tear. Consequently, the homeowner called a reputable foundation repair company in Kansas City, PierMagic.

Addressing Cracking and Bowing Walls in the Foundation

The team at PierMagic Foundation Specialists performed a free assessment to determine an effective solution. It was determined that the home needed a multi-faceted solution, including anchoring for the bowed walls and foundation repair, then poured a new concrete garage floor, driveway, and front sidewalk.

The Solution

The team began by tearing out the resident's garage floor. Then PierMagic attached anchors to the interior foundation wall to prevent any further movement. Once the foundation issues were repaired, the concrete portion of the project began. PierMagic is unique in our services because we offer concrete lifting/leveling services, and even new concrete pours. The garage floor was poured, followed by the driveway and front sidewalk. This allowed the homeowner to safety continue living in this 70 year home with reassurance that the integrity of the foundation and piers can withstand another seven decades.
