Kansas City has expansive clay soil. It's just an unfortunate fact for homeowners in this area. Why is expansive clay such a problem? Our structural engineers say expansive clay soil poses several threats to your homes foundation and its ability to stay dry. This kind of soil is most comparable to playdough. Whenever the soil dries, it shrinks, whenever it's wet, it will swell. That is why it is crucial to take control of the water around your home. Our experts put together three helpful tips to help you prevent water from destroying your home.

** Update. We were contacted multiple times by Pier Magic and were eventually convinced to allow them to make this right. They came to our home in a timely manner and installed the sump pump in a professional and efficient manner. They definitely did their best to rectify the situation for us and we are very pleased!
I would highly recommend PierMagic. Part of our foundation where the sewer line exits the house had been under cut by previous owners. PierMagic came in and supported the affected area in a fairly quick time frame and for less than I had expected to pay. Almost a year later I finally took down some things they had left in place so the concrete could dry only to discover an apparent crack in the sewer line where they had been working. I called them up to complain and expected them to fix it. They were quite courteous and sent someone out to have a look. After a brief investigation it turns out I was wrong and in my poorly lit basement I mistook mold lines on the pipe for a crack, something that if I had investigate more thoroughly I would have been able to figure out on my own. While the issue was my fault PierMagic was professional about it the whole time, not once did they try to get out of responsibility or blame me the situation as I tend to expect from companies. Not only that but the representative that came out was respectful and never made me feel bad or guilty about my obvious mistake.
Roger and his hardworking crew did a great job of straightening and securing my basement wall. They left the job site clean every night. Thank you Roger and Pier Magic!
