Foundation Repair
Our patented King Piers System lifts and stabilizes sinking foundations using oversized steel plates and high-strength concrete. This method addresses soil movement and structural weaknesses, ensuring permanent repair. Ideal for residential and commercial properties, the system distributes weight evenly to prevent future settling. Each installation includes a lifetime warranty and video documentation for transparency.
Basement Waterproofing
We prevent water intrusion through crack sealing, drainage systems, and sump pump installations. Our solutions target hydrostatic pressure and poor drainage, common causes of basement leaks. By applying waterproof membranes and improving exterior grading, we protect foundations from moisture damage. Services include French drains and battery backup systems to ensure dry basements during heavy rains.
Crawl Space Repair
Our crawl space solutions address sagging joists, moisture, and pest infestations. We install vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and structural supports to stabilize floors and improve air quality. Encapsulation prevents mold growth, while drainage upgrades mitigate water damage. These repairs enhance energy efficiency and prevent long-term structural issues caused by unstable crawl spaces.
Concrete Repair
We repair cracked, uneven, or deteriorating concrete surfaces using leveling, sealing, and resurfacing techniques. Our high-strength epoxy injections restore structural integrity, while protective coatings prevent future wear. Services include driveway, patio, and foundation slab repairs, tailored to withstand Kansas City's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy usage.
Stone Foundation Repair
Specialized repointing and stone resetting restore historic stone foundations without compromising aesthetic value. We use water-resistant mortar and structural reinforcements to address erosion and soil movement. Waterproofing barriers and drainage solutions prevent recurring damage, ensuring longevity for century-old properties while maintaining their original character.

Report
We hired King Piers in February 2015 to correct foundation issues we were having in our Lee's Summit home. Jim came out and laid out a pretty comprehensive (and expensive) plan to correct all the issues. He reviewed the 25 year warranty and assured us we would not have any ongoing issues. The work took approximately 7 days. The crew that came out were very careful to try and not disturb us and keep things as clean as possible. When it was completed everything seemed to be fine and back level. This is where the promises and customer service starts to fall apart. The first time we had to contact

I recieved four estimates for my sinking foundation, several from the popular companies that advertise regularly. King Piers was not only competitive but very realistic about how to solve my problems. The owner came out and provided a quick and easy estimate. I am very glad I went with King Piers. I have a home in south Johnson County. They were able to pier my foundation, fill in the cracks with epoxy, fix cracks in my brick exterior and drywall interior as well as fixing a leaky window well in the basement. Enrique was awesome to work with and has my total trust. Very hard working crew. Thank

If you want an honest opinion, call these guys. I am a realtor and I recommend them to all of my clients. They won't make it a bigger deal than it actually is just to get more money from you. Heck- I've even had them help out clients that had very minor issues. Thank goodness I can rely on these guys when I need them.

Honest and fair quote, and job well done. We had a small crack in the foundation, and while others were trying to sell us thousands in systems we didn't need, King Piers was able to fix the problem appropriately and in a timely manner.
