Gordon Energy & Drainage began as a one man, one truck operation by Larry Gordon in 1972. While Mr. Gordon only installed drain tile for Kansas City home builders at the very beginning, he quickly recognized the need for additional home builder services in the Kansas City area. Over the years, Larry grew his company and added on new product lines.
By 1988, Gordon Energy & Drainage employed over 30 people and ran 25 trucks. Most of the product lines that Gordon Energy & Drainage offered to home builders in Kansas City were foundation drainage, energy efficiency, waterproofing or drainage products.

Due to heavy rainfall and a shortage of skilled labor, we are not able to serve homeowner customers with wet basement or wet yard problems. Unfortunately due to overwhelming demand for our services Gordon Energy & Drainage is no longer working directly with homeowners of finished homes. This is a decision that we did not take lightly.

During a pre-sale home inspection the inspector reported both the sump & battery backup were not working. We were out of state and could not check ourselves. Fully expecting to pay over $1200 to replace both systems we called Gordon Energy who came the next day and verified BOTH systems were working properly. (The inspector didn’t know what he was doing.) A less-than-reputable company could have replaced the systems and charged us. With Gordon we paid a minimum service call. This company deserves your business!

It has been nearly two years since we had a drain system installed on the side of our home. The area always had standing water and was a mess. I waited to write a review since we weren't sure how we felt about it immediately after.
A large, 15-20' perforated pipe and two catch basins were installed in the problem area along side our yard. From there, a 100' line was installed diagonally across our back yard to take the water away from the yard, with a pop up at the back corner of the yard that emptied into a green space.
When the work was complete, the perforated pipe seemed too high. We called

I had a French drain put in because my back yard would flood when ever it rained. They came out and gave me a free estimate at a good price. Some companies charge you just to come out and take a look, which really puts you off. Gordon Energy did a great job and it only took them an afternoon to get it done. My backyard is now dry and is usable. I highly recommend them.

I recently hired Gordon E&D this February 2016, to take a look at my egress window which every rain storm would fill over 2 feet high and leak into the house. I did a lot of research into the type of drainage I would need prior to hiring the company. I chose Gordon based on their high reviews, customer satisfaction, impressive years in the industry, and being local. I did have other bids on the same issue but I felt Gordon co. was the right fit. Things that impressed me over the other companies was the honesty, professionalism, and thorough explanation of the proposed interventions. This meant

Gordon Energy and Drainage did work for me in August and September 2013 to correct some drainage and foundation issues. They injected 3 cracks in the foundation with Epoxy and installed an adjustable screw jack post in the basement to both stabilize the foundation and prevent further movement and water intrusion into basement. They also fIxed a number of serious water drainage issues around the foundation by doing the following: fixed and re-routed some of the downspouts and the sump pump discharge, installed and graded additional dirt around the foundation, installed drainboxes at exit of previously

I can't thank the team at Gordon Energy enough for their professionalism, kindness, and quick response. My husband and I recently purchased a home with a walkout basement that was built in 1974. Until this Spring, we didn't have a sump pump and no one ever suggested that we needed one. Unfortunately, we ended up with water in our basement and lots of carpet that had to be ripped out. They installed a sump pump with battery backup and suggested changes we could make to the grading around our foundation. Thanks to Gordon Energy, that will NEVER happen again!
