Maize is growing fast, and those new subdivisions off 53rd and Maize Road sit on clay that moves with every wet and dry spell. If your basement is damp, your foundation has a crack, or your sump pump is running nonstop, you are not alone. We know this town and the ground under it.
Wichita Waterproofing is based just down the road in Wichita, and we work Maize (67101) every week. From the older homes near Maize High School to the newer builds along the 37th Street corridor, we have seen how backfill settles beside basement walls and how water finds its way in. When you call us, you get a local crew that knows the difference between a simple crack and real hydrostatic pressure.
Waterproofing Us in Maize (67101)
Maize sits on the same flat Arkansas River plain as the rest of the Wichita metro, with clay and silt soils that swell when wet and shrink in drought. In the newer subdivisions, builders backfill around poured concrete basement walls, and that backfill settles over time, leaving a gap where water collects. Grading often slopes back toward the house, and downspouts discharge too close to the foundation. We see a lot of damp walls, efflorescence, and cracks in these homes. The fix is usually a combination of regrading, extending downspouts, and sometimes a French drain or sump pump to relieve the pressure. In older parts of Maize, block foundations and brick walls need a different approach, often interior drain tile and a vapor barrier. Our team has worked in Maize for years and knows the local soil, the typical construction, and the drainage patterns near Chisholm Creek and the Big Ditch floodway.
We are a dedicated basement waterproofing specialist, not a general foundation repair firm or a plumber. That means we focus on keeping water out and fixing the source, not just patching symptoms.

How a Job Works in Maize
Step 1: Call us at (316) 867-9121 or request a free basement inspection online. We will schedule a time to walk your property, check the foundation inside and out, and test for moisture. You get a written estimate with options, no pressure.
Step 2: Once you approve, we schedule the work. In Maize, tight lot access in some of the newer subdivisions can mean we need to plan equipment placement carefully, and if your home is in an HOA, we can provide documentation for approval. Permits are often required for structural repairs or egress windows, and we handle that through the City of Maize website or the local building department.
Step 3: After the work is done, we clean up thoroughly and walk the job with you. We make sure you understand what was done and how to maintain it. We leave your property clean and your basement dry.
Pricing in Maize depends on the job. Foundation crack repair starts at $450, sump pump installation at $1,200, and interior drain tile at $50 per linear foot. A full basement waterproofing system typically starts around $2,500, and exterior waterproofing runs about $95 per linear foot. Factors like accessibility, the extent of damage, and urgency affect the final cost. We give free estimates, so call (316) 867-9121 to get a clear number for your Maize home.
