A Local Team — Not a
Nationwide Call Center.
Big franchise companies send a different crew every time. We're your neighbors. Same team, same phone number, same people who actually care what happens to your house.
We'll Tell You If You Don't Need Us
If your foundation is fine, we'll say so. We turn away jobs that don't need repair — because our reputation matters more than a single sale.
One Price. No Surprises.
A detailed written estimate before we touch anything. The number you see is the number you pay — no add-ons, no change orders.
Double the Protection, Lower Cost
We spray foam BOTH the crawlspace AND basement — competitors charge more to do just one. Twice the insulation and moisture barrier for less.
Kansas City & Des Moines Only
We don't spread thin across 30 states. Two metros, one dedicated team. We know your soil, your climate, and your neighborhoods.
What Our Customers Say
"We had cracks running up our walls and doors that wouldn't close. JLB came out, explained exactly what was happening with the soil under our house, and had the piers installed in two days. Floors are level again. Wish we hadn't waited so long."
"Three other companies gave us the runaround. JLB showed up, did a thorough inspection, and gave us a straight answer. The repair held up through an entire Missouri winter with zero new cracking."
"Our crawlspace was a mess — moisture, mold, the works. JLB encapsulated it AND spray-foamed our basement in the same project. The difference in our home's air quality is incredible. Great value for the price."
Real Team. Real Work.

Under Your Home
You don't need to be an engineer to understand your foundation. Here's what every homeowner should know — in plain English.
How Your Foundation Works
Your foundation does one job: transfer the weight of your entire house into the ground. In Kansas City and Des Moines, that ground is heavy clay soil — and clay moves. It swells when wet, shrinks when dry, and pushes laterally against basement walls during freeze-thaw cycles. When the soil shifts, your foundation has to absorb that stress. Over time, something gives.
Why Foundations Fail
Concrete is strong. Soil is not. When the soil under or around your foundation changes volume — from rain, drought, freeze-thaw, or poor drainage — it creates uneven pressure. One side settles. Walls bow inward. Cracks spread. The foundation itself usually isn't defective. The ground it's sitting on just stopped doing its job.
How Water Gets Into Your Basement
Water enters basements through three main paths: through cracks in walls or floors (the most obvious), through the joint where the wall meets the floor (called the cove joint — the most common), and through porous concrete itself (wicking). All three are caused by hydrostatic pressure — groundwater pushing against your foundation from the outside. No amount of sealant paint fixes this. You need to manage the water with an interior drainage system and sump pump.
How Foundation Repairs Actually Work
Modern foundation repair isn't guesswork. Push piers are steel shafts driven through unstable soil until they hit load-bearing bedrock or stable strata — then hydraulic jacks transfer your home's weight onto them. Helical piers screw into the ground like giant anchors. Wall anchors counter lateral pressure from expanding soil. These are engineered systems rated for specific load capacities, and they come with transferable warranties.
