surprised got call from A1 General Manager after I complained about the excessive charges on our toilet leaking repaired job. We both understand the saturation and solved the differences. We are very happy and satisfied with the GM’s call and got us back to A1 as our favorite, trusting and reliable plumbing company.

Michael Breher was great to work with. I was anxious about the work that needed to be done; however, he explained everything in detail where I felt comfortable moving forward. I am confident my home will be taking care of and that my issue will be resolved. I’m thankful they were able to come out on such short notice as well.

Top notch work and interaction! We met with Taylor around July 2023. He provided a thorough evaluation of our needs. We discussed the project and hired JES to fully encapsulate our crawl space with French drain under house around entire perimeter with drainage. In September the crew came to do the job. It was without a doubt the nicest, no fuss contractor scenario we have had to date. They called and scheduled their one year check up and that was well done also. Encapsulation is not inexpensive. We obtained quotes from several companies beforehand. Whereas JES was not the cheapest- they are the best in our opinion. We are very happy with their workmanship and customer service. Please commend Taylor as he is quite an asset to your company.

Sam Davis came today to perform my first yearly inspection. He was polite and informative. I feel like, since I made a substantial investment in the crawlspace encapsulation, I have piece of mind that it will be serviced yearly and confidence in the awesome customer service of JES.

Foundation Experts in Charlottesville

The greater Charlottesville area including Louisa, Palmyra, and Scottsville experience accelerated humidity in the summers, along with rain year-round. Without the proper moisture and water control, your crawl space or basement can be vulnerable to mold, mildew, and wood rot. As these problems persist, you may notice unpleasant smells or outside temperatures seep into interior of your home. Some homeowners even suffer from higher energy bills as the problems get worse.  

Soil also has a larger impact on your home’s structure than you think. Your corner of North Central Virginia is built on a silty loam top layer of soil, with silty clay subsoil. Soils heavy in silt and clay can be detrimental to your home. As they soak up and retain water from frequent rain, these soils expand and bear hydrostatic pressure. For many homeowners, the damage shows itself through sagging floors, leaks, cracks, wall bowing, or even wall separation. 

Charlottesville is rich in history and charm, but the crack or slope in your home isn’t part of it. If not addressed, these problems can negatively impact your health and your home’s structure. As local experts in basements, waterproofing, and crawl spaces, JES is your trusted partner in foundation repair. We can provide the unique and permanent solution you need to enjoy your home and even increase property value.
