What We Do

We are a basement waterproofing company that proudly serves homeowners throughout Kansas City, Missouri. Our mission is to identify the root cause of basement water problems and provide dependable waterproofing solutions that help stop leaks and protect homes from recurring moisture issues. Homes in Kansas City often experience basement water intrusion due to expansive clay soil, seasonal storms, and fluctuating groundwater levels that increase pressure around basement foundations.

Homeowners in neighborhoods such as Brookside, Waldo, and areas near the Country Club Plaza frequently report basement leaks after heavy rainfall. Because Kansas City experiences intense spring and summer storms, soil surrounding the home can quickly become saturated. When exterior drainage systems do not move water away from the foundation effectively, groundwater pressure can build up along basement walls.

In addition, homes located near Brush Creek, the Blue River corridor, or other low lying areas may experience higher groundwater levels during extended wet weather. As soil retains moisture, hydrostatic pressure can push water through porous concrete walls, basement floor joints, or small cracks that develop over time as the ground shifts.

Our team focuses on identifying where water is entering the basement and installing waterproofing systems designed to stop leaks permanently. By improving drainage conditions and protecting the foundation from moisture intrusion, we help homeowners restore dry and comfortable basement environments.

We look forward to helping you with your basement waterproofing needs in Kansas City. Fill out the short form below to schedule your FREE, no obligation estimate today.

Common Problems

Keeping a basement from leaking in Kansas City can be challenging because clay soil expands when wet and holds moisture around foundations. When the ground becomes saturated during heavy rainfall, hydrostatic pressure can force water through porous concrete or masonry foundation walls. As a result, homeowners often notice water seeping through basement walls or entering where the basement wall meets the floor.

Over time, soil movement around the home can also cause small cracks to form in basement walls or floors. Even narrow cracks may allow water to enter the basement during storms. In many homes, these conditions lead to damp basement floors, elevated humidity levels, or musty odors that indicate moisture is slowly entering the space. Recognizing these warning signs early can help homeowners address waterproofing concerns before they develop into more serious structural or moisture related problems.

Water Intrusion

Heavy rainfall or melting snow can cause basement flooding which result in weakness in the ground beneath your foundation. Foundation sinking, bowing basement walls, and other structural damage can occur as the supporting ground softens. In the process, your’re left with an ideal environment for the growth of mold and mildew.

Biological Growth

Humidity in the soil and air releases destructive water vapor, debris, contaminates, and pollen. This damp air carries mold spores and musty odors, providing the perfect environment for insects and other pests, as well as wood rot. These issues affect your home’s structure and the quality of air in your living spaces.

Bowed Or Leaning Walls

All soil can expand and contract after a heavy rain or drought. When the soil supporting your foundation changes, it can cause your home to shift. During wet weather, water saturates surrounding soil, causing it to swell and push against subterranean walls. This lateral pressure can make basement walls bulge or leak, causing a wet and smelly basement.

How Do I Fix It?

Acculevel installs interior drainage and sump systems that redirect water before it can pressurize your basement. For many homes, our recommended solution is the Fast Track perimeter drainage system paired with a sump pump.

Redirection With Fast Track

The Water Tunnel is a channel system used to relieve hydrostatic pressure build up surrounding a structure’s foundation. Holes on both sides of the tunnel allow water to be collected from te footing/wall joints and under the floor. The unique bottomless design allows water to flow away from your basement at a flow rate 140 gallons per minute.

How Fast Track Is Installed

A narrow strip of concrete is cut along the perimeter to expose the top of the footing.
If the foundation is a block, small weep holes are drilled in the bottom course to relieve trapped water.
Pre-formed Fast Track sections are placed on/along the footing and connected to the sump basin; a wall liner or dimple board is integrated so moisture drains straight into the channel.
The trench is capped with new concrete flush to the floor, the sump lid is sealed, and the pump and discharge are tested.

Water Removal with Sump Pump

All Acculevel waterproofing systems drain into a top-of-the-line sump pump system and include safeguards against power outgages and pump failures. It is extremely important to have a second battery-operated pump in the sump liner in case of mechanical or power failure. Acculevel battery back ups are dependable and flexible.
