Pier Magic Case Study: Basement Waterproofing Solutions

Waterproofing Issues 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 Google search, this Smithville, MO resident inquired about working with a company who has extensive experience with foundation repair in Kansas City and basement waterproofing. The highest rating of Google reviews mixed with the experience of the estimating team solidified the homeowner's decision to proceed with our specific Kansas City foundation repair company to complete the job in summer of 2022.

The homeowner communicated their issue to our team: they were noticing water coming into their basement. This home was built in 1920 so the foundation has over a century of weight, environmental and structural circumstances impacting the integrity. However, the water seeping into the basement began to worsen over the past few years. Just like anything else, waiting and prolonging the repairs will result in greater expenses and more extensive damages. Consequently, the homeowner called PierMagic Foundation Specialists to get the job done right.

Addressing Water in the Basement

The team at PierMagic Foundation Specialists performed a free assessment to determine an effective solution. Two issues were discovered:

1. The gutters should be extended to move water away from the house
2. An exterior waterline was leaking, causing water to seep into the basement

The team presented the most affordable and effective solutions, without over-selling anything.

The Solution

The PierMagic team began by digging down to the footing of the basement to uncover the source of the leaky water. The team repaired the water line and installed waterproofing membrane to prevent the water from coming into the basement. Even if the waterline experiences issues in the future, the membrane will prevent water from seeping into the basement.

Lastly the PierMagic team covered the hole with new concrete and extended the gutters to direct the water away from the home. With the waterproofing solutions complete, the homeowner can rest assured knowing the house will withstand another four decades with a new look as well!
