Prairie Village is post-war Johnson County at its best, Cape Cods and ranches from the 40s and 50s. Those foundations are pushing 70 years on this clay, and most are overdue for a checkup.

Frequently Asked Questions — Basement Waterproofing in Prairie Village
Why do Prairie Village basements leak?
These post-war foundations have spent close to 70 years against Johnson County clay that holds water and pushes it at the walls after every storm. Over that many decades the original concrete and block develop cracks and joints that let water seep through, especially during heavy spring rains.
What's the best waterproofing for an older PV basement?
An interior perimeter drain tied to a sump pump handles most of these homes, collecting water at the floor-wall joint and pumping it out before it pools. Individual cracks get epoxy or polyurethane injection. We figure out the right mix during the free inspection.
Can you waterproof without tearing up a finished PV basement?
In most cases, yes. We can open a narrow strip of finished wall at the base to run the drain and patch it back, or route the system through unfinished utility areas. We show you exactly what comes out before we start.
How much does basement waterproofing cost in Prairie Village?
A single crack injection is on the lower end, while a full interior drain and sump system runs higher depending on the basement. The inspection and written estimate are free, and we offer financing if you'd like to spread the cost.
