PierMagic's team is experienced, studies the Kansas clay soil, and understands the importance to a dry basement. Check out this recent case study on how PierMagic solved a wet basement issue with a Lenexa, Kansas homeowner.

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 referral from a neighbor, this Leawood, Kansas homeowner inquired about receiving a free estimate on what it would take to fix the water entry into their basement. The homeowner met with PierMagic's inspector, who took the time to answer all of their questions, and develop an affordable basement waterproofing solution.


The homeowner communicated their issue to our team: they were noticing water coming into their basement. This home was built in 1998, so the foundation and environmental factors has caused some settlement over the past two and a half decades. However, the homeowner detected water coming into the basement 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, based upon their reputable referral, 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. An exterior membrane was installed to remedy the exterior water coming into the basement. The PierMagic 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 install the polymeric membrane. The dig was 4-feet deep x 3-ft wide. The membrane comes with a 3-year warranty.

With the waterproofing solutions complete, the homeowner can rest assured knowing the house will withstand decades of rain!
