Keeping Water Out of the Basement

PierMagic Foundation Specialists services Kansas City homeowners providing exceptional service while keeping homes safe and stable for generations to come. Based upon an extensive Google search, this Lee's Summit, Missouri resident reached out to PierMagic because the homeowner began to notice the interior doors of the house were not shutting properly. Our team discovered the foundation had shifted and cracked. The combination of services, along with PierMagic's professionalism and experience, solidified the homeowner's decision to proceed with our specific Kansas City foundation repair company to complete the job in 2022.


The homeowner communicated their issue to our team: the interior doors were sticking and not closing properly. This specific home was built in 1997, and the unleveling issues began to worsen over the past few years. Just like anything else, waiting and prolonging the repairs will result in worsening and more extensive damages. Consequently, the homeowner called PierMagic Foundation Specialists to get the job done right.

Addressing the Cracks with Piers

The team at PierMagic Foundation Specialists performed a free assessment to determine an effective solution. It was determined that the home needed a foundation repair solution, including piering and waterproofing.

The Solution

PierMagic started by removing the homeowner's landscaping in order to reach the areas requiring foundation repairs. Next, they dug down to the footing of the basement to begin the process of installing eight piers along the North and East side of the home. The exterior cracks were evident and needed to be repaired. The crew installed a metal plate and waterproofing membrane along the home's exterior. This will prevent any water from seeping into the basement. Lastly, the PierMagic team reinstalled the landscaping features around the home so it looked like we had never even been there. One of the main differences between PierMagic and other foundation repair companies is our attention to detail. We aim to make the process as seamless as possible. We are thorough, explain each step of the process, and expect results. With the foundation and waterproofing solutions complete, this homeowner can rest assured knowing the house will withstand decades safely and securely.
