Today we’d like to introduce you to Wyatt Ohle.
Wyatt, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I got my start in the foundation repair industry working on a crew and learning the trade from the ground up. During that time, I began taking on side jobs by myself. A late relative encouraged me to think beyond earning an hourly wage and consider building something that could create long-term opportunities for me and others.
In 2019, I started Olympic Foundation Repair. At the beginning, I operated from my personal vehicle with a basic website and handled nearly everything myself. I answered the calls, met with homeowners, sold the projects, completed the work and reinvested what I earned back into the business. Growth came gradually through hard work, referrals and earning customers’ trust.
As the company grew, I focused on building a team and creating systems that would allow us to serve more homeowners without sacrificing the quality of our work. In 2025, I launched Olympic Concrete Lifting, and in April 2026, I acquired PierMagic Kansas City.
Today, the three companies employ more than 20 people and are projected to generate approximately $5.5 million in combined annual revenue. I’m proud of the growth, but I’m even more proud of the careers we’ve created, the people who have grown alongside the companies and the trust our customers place in us.
We also support local youth sports and look for ways to give back as the businesses grow. I still feel like we’re in the early stages, and I’m excited about continuing to build strong companies that create opportunities and make a positive impact in the Kansas City area.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. In the beginning, I was responsible for almost every part of the business. I answered the phone, met with homeowners, sold the projects, completed the work and handled the problems that came up afterward. There was no established team or system to fall back on, so every mistake became a lesson I had to learn quickly.
One of the biggest challenges was transitioning from working in the business to leading it. Being good at the trade is different from managing employees, developing leaders, maintaining consistent quality and making decisions that affect multiple families. Learning to delegate and trust other people with something I had built personally was difficult but necessary.
Growth also brings a different kind of pressure. As we added employees, launched Olympic Concrete Lifting and acquired PierMagic Kansas City, the responsibility became much larger. We had to integrate teams, improve our processes and make sure growth did not come at the expense of our customers or company culture.
There have been long days, difficult decisions and plenty of moments when I had to learn as I went. Those challenges helped shape how I lead today. They taught me to stay involved, take responsibility when something goes wrong and keep building a company where people have opportunities to grow.
We’ve been impressed with Olympic Foundation Repair / Olympic Concrete Lifting / PierMagic, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At our core, we help Kansas City-area homeowners and businesses protect, stabilize and restore their properties. Our group includes Olympic Foundation Repair, Olympic Concrete Lifting and PierMagic Kansas City, with each company serving a specific need while sharing the same commitment to honest recommendations and quality work.
Olympic Foundation Repair provides comprehensive structural and water-management solutions, including foundation piering, bowed-wall repair, basement waterproofing, crack repair, crawlspace repair, drainage systems and house leveling.
Olympic Concrete Lifting specializes in polyjacking, a modern process that uses lightweight polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. We work on driveways, sidewalks, patios, steps, garage floors, pool decks and commercial concrete. In many cases, we can restore the existing concrete without the cost, demolition and disruption of replacing it.
PierMagic has served Kansas City since 2007 and specializes in residential and commercial foundation repair, piering, waterproofing, drainage, crawlspace encapsulation and wall stabilization.
What sets us apart is our hands-on experience. I entered this industry working on a crew and have personally been involved in nearly every part of the process, from digging and installing repairs to inspecting homes and developing solutions. That experience shapes how we train our employees and serve customers today.
We do not believe in recommending work simply to make a sale. We inspect each property, explain what we find and develop a solution around what the structure actually needs. Clear communication, dependable workmanship and standing behind our repairs are central to all three brands.
What I am most proud of is that we have grown without losing sight of how the companies began. We are still locally led, accountable to our customers and focused on doing the job correctly. Our goal is to give property owners confidence during what can otherwise be a stressful and uncertain experience.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
My advice is to look for people who are a few steps ahead of you and whose character you respect – not just people who have achieved financial success. A good mentor should challenge your thinking, tell you the truth and help you see problems from a perspective you have not developed yet.
When approaching someone, ask specific questions instead of simply asking them to “be your mentor.” Show that you value their time, apply their advice and follow up with what happened. People are more willing to continue helping when they see that you listen and take action.
For me, networking has worked best when it is built around genuine relationships rather than trying to collect contacts. Some of my strongest relationships have come from customers, employees, vendors, other contractors and people I have known for years. I try to be dependable, help when I can and stay in touch even when I do not need anything.
I also believe you should be open to learning from everyone. Some of the most valuable lessons I have received came from people working beside me, not necessarily someone with an impressive title.
The best networking strategy is to do good work, treat people well and keep your word. Over time, those relationships create introductions and opportunities that are difficult to manufacture.
