KC PIER

What KC PIER does

KC Pier, LLC is a privately held residential foundation repair and basement waterproofing contractor founded in 2016 by Eric Scheele and headquartered in Kansas City, with a secondary office in Overland Park, Kansas. The firm sells directly to homeowners across the Kansas City metropolitan area and surrounding Kansas and Missouri markets — including Lawrence, Topeka, Wichita, Ottawa, and St. Joseph — through free in-home structural consultations, written estimates, and a no-pressure sales process. Its service portfolio centers on foundation piering (push piers hydraulically driven 15–30+ feet and helical piers, both load-tested during installation), basement waterproofing (interior drain tile, sump pumps, exterior membranes, crack sealing), crawl space encapsulation with vapor barriers and dehumidifiers, bowed-wall stabilization using wall anchors and carbon fiber straps, polyjacking concrete lifting via fast-curing polyurethane foam, slab repair, radon measurement and mitigation, egress windows, drainage systems, and foundation monitoring inspections.

All field work is performed by trained KC Pier employees rather than subcontractors, and projects are priced per unit (e.g., $1,000–$3,000 per pier, $4,000–$10,000 typical basement waterproofing, $500–$1,200 polyjacking jobs, $1,500–$15,000 crawl space encapsulation). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project work with warranty coverage ranging from five years to lifetime transferable, supplemented by foundation inspection services for real estate buyers and sellers. The company supports sales through an active educational blog, 20+ local-SEO service-area landing pages, video content, email newsletters, home-show appearances, and a 4.9-star Google rating across 530+ reviews with BBB A+ accreditation.

The business is founder-led with no disclosed institutional funding, headcount, or external investors, and operates entirely on its own balance sheet across the Kansas-Missouri corridor.

Broad incumbents

• JES Foundation Repair: Large regional foundation repair and basement waterproofing company serving the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US. Offers the same core services as KC Pier (piering, waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation) under a similar consultative sales model, though at significantly larger scale.
• Groundworks: Largest US foundation repair and waterproofing roll-up, operating multiple regional brands across the country. Comparable as a direct competitor in the same residential foundation/waterproofing services category, but at substantially greater scale and with private-equity backing.
• Olshan Foundation Solutions: Long-standing foundation repair company operating across the South and Midwest with similar piering and waterproofing capabilities. Comparable service offering and customer base, though with broader geographic reach and longer operating history.
• '58 Foundations & Waterproofing: Multi-state foundation repair and waterproofing contractor with a comparable residential focus and similar product set (piering, waterproofing, crawl space, sump pumps). Broader geographic footprint makes it a regional incumbent rather than a direct same-territory peer.

Regional players

• Smart Foundation Repair: Independent regional foundation repair and waterproofing contractor in the greater Kansas City and Missouri markets. Comparable local competitor with similar services but smaller scale and less established brand presence.
• Pro Foundation Technology: Midwest-based foundation repair contractor serving Iowa and surrounding states with piering, waterproofing, and concrete leveling services. Comparable offering, but operating in adjacent rather than overlapping geographies to KC Pier's service area.

Direct peers

• Acculevel: Indiana-based residential foundation repair contractor serving the Midwest with piering, waterproofing, and concrete leveling services. Closely comparable in business model (employee crews, diagnostic sales approach, regional focus) and in the same expansive clay-soil geographies adjacent to KC.
• FSB (Foundation Supportworks of the Heartland): Independent Foundation Supportworks network dealer offering engineered foundation repair products (push/helical piers, wall anchors, carbon fiber) to residential customers. Comparable in using the same engineered pier systems with a similar in-home sales motion.
• Helitech Civil & Structural Engineering: Midwest-focused foundation repair, waterproofing, and concrete leveling company serving Missouri, Illinois, and surrounding states. Closely comparable services, customer base, and Midwestern clay-soil expertise, with overlapping Kansas City-area service territory.
• EverDry Waterproofing: Regional basement waterproofing and foundation repair contractor operating across the Midwest. Comparable as a direct competitor in basement waterproofing and foundation stabilization with a similar in-home consultation sales model and transferable warranty offering.
