How a failing basement becomes a dry one

Two jobs from the neighborhood, in our own words: the problem we found, and exactly what we did about it.

Deep excavation dug alongside a Kansas City home to reset a failing foundation wallProject #1

Dig, push, and drain

The wall failed from poor exterior drainage causing basement leaks and bowing every rain. We raised the house, excavated, pushed the wall back to level, stabilized it with beams, repaired the cracks, and backfilled — then extended downspouts, raised a window well, and graded so water flows away from the home.

  • Raised the house and excavated the failing wall
  • Pushed the wall back to level and braced it with steel
  • Repaired the cracks and backfilled
  • Extended downspouts, raised the window well, and regraded
Interior excavation and drain-tile work at a leaking stone foundation wallProject #2

Stone wall rebuild

The stone wall had water seeping through it and up from the cove joint where wall meets floor. We stabilized the home, installed drain-tile waterproofing and a sump pump, then rebuilt the stone wall with a skim-coat finish. It had failed from improper waterproofing and a walkway sloped toward the foundation.

  • Stabilized the home and opened up the leaking wall
  • Installed drain-tile waterproofing and a sump pump
  • Rebuilt the stone wall with a skim-coat finish
  • Corrected the exterior grade so water drains away
What homeowners say

Neighbors who’d call us again

Bobby and his team were efficient and did excellent work. We needed some major foundation work done, and he was honest with us throughout the process. We would definitely go back to Midwest Basement Solutions due to their personal approach, honesty, professionalism, and work ethic.

I highly recommend Bobby at Midwest Basement Solutions! He did an excellent job installing our basement sump pump. He was a great communicator throughout the process, showed up quickly to provide an estimate, and completed the work exactly when he scheduled it. By far the best price compared to the other 2 we received.

Midwest Basement Solutions did a great job taking care of a leak in the foundation of my dad’s house with epoxy injections and regrading. Bobby took special care of the existing landscape and left the area cleaner than he found it. As an added bonus he repaired a crack in the driveway and his finish work was better than expected! Very happy!

Bob, simply, just does great work! I didn’t feel like I was being taken advantage of and the end result fixed my problem. I highly recommend him!

Who you’re hiring

A small, owner-run crew that treats your house like its own

Midwest Basement Solutions is owned and run by Bob Olson, who has spent more than 20 years under Kansas City homes, first with his prior company and now here. When you call, you deal with the people doing the work.

That’s why homeowners keep using words like honest and fair: we explain what’s actually wrong, quote it straight, and leave the site cleaner than we found it.
