Piering - Correcting foundation issues in your home with quality foundation piering will insure the integrity of your foundation, whether it is a crawl space, slab on grade, or a basement made of poured concrete or block.
Egress windows, or a 'means of exit' window installed in a basement or lower level provides for a safe escape in the event of a fire or other emergency. Current residential building code also requires an egress window to be installed in a basement bedroom for the room to be legally qualified as bedroom as part of a real estate sale. Foundation King installs a complete egress window system to code, complete with escape ladder, rain-proof cover, and window well with decorative gravel for an appealing interior view.
Foundation King installs a variety of water drainage systems to help you solve your water problems. A drain tile system, also sometimes called a French Drain, is designed to collect and redirect water away from the house or foundation. Drain tiles can be installed either on the interior perimeter of the foundation or along the exterior of the foundation. They can also be installed along the surface of the yard to redirect water away from the house. Surface drainage systems basically consist of a perforated pipe (typically a PVC pipe with weep holes along one side) set in a trench and covered with gravel.
At Foundation King, we strive to stop all water leakage into your home. To do so, we utilize a flexible, 60 mil poly-membrane called MEL-ROL to effectively stop leaking around your home. MEL-ROL is the most proven and most effective method for stopping water leakage. During the waterproofing process, the foundation wall is excavated to the footing at a width of approximately two feet. The foundation wall and the top of the footing are cleaned and prepared to accept the membrane. The membrane is applied to the wall with adhesive.

At Foundation King, we utilize a flexible 60 mil poly-membrane called Mel-Role to effectively stop leaking and around your home. A sump pump system is a critical component of water management to any good system for maintaining a dry basement. Be sure to always be one step ahead when it comes to foundation trouble. Some signs that your foundation may be taking a beating from the cold weather could include cracks in the walls of your house, windows separating from the home and becoming harder to close, doors becoming difficult to shut, and large gaps between the home and the ground next to it.
FIBERLOCK Crack Repair is a cost effective method that seals, stabilizes and strengthens cracks. The FIBERLOCK kit's filler compound seals the crack to eliminate seepage while the carbon fiber provides tensile strength to the compromised concrete and works to minimize any movement of the crack reducing the chance of any failure. It is important you let your Foundation King evaluator identify the type of cracks and recommend the most suitable coarse of repair. It is also recommended to apply FIBERLOCK Crack Repair after piering a wall.

Foundation King completed the work as scheduled and answered all our concerns up front. They finished all in one day. The crew was very courteous. We would definitely call them again.

Foundation King did a great job for us following water in our basement following heavy rains They came out and excavated three sides of our house to waterproof the foundation and installed drainage. They had to move five 30 year-old bushes in front of our house in order to do the excavation. They transplanted the bushes into our back yard, and when the work was completed, they dug up the bushes and replanted them back where they belonged. I was sure the bushes would die, but several months later, they have new growth on them! The workers also fixed our sod where they had to dig it up and cleaned up the yard.
They did such a good job that we hired them to put in an egress window while they had the foundation dug out. They also straightened basement walls that had moved in the bad soil common to our neighborhood in Overland Park. Our next door neighbor was impressed with them and hired them to fix their foundation as well.
We highly recommend Foundation King!

This is the second time I have used Foundation King. A friend recommended them a few years ago because they did such any amazing job with her basement. They were good at letting me know when they would be there and Chrystal was great at quickly answering my emails. Will for sure use them again!
