James was very helpful for coming back to inspect my crawlspace and dehumidifier for when I wasn't home the first time. The circuit breaker for the whole house was previously tripped and I never cut the dehumidifier back on after the fact – I wasn't home to help them access the panel the first time – James came out to check on the working dehumidifier and also helped explain what he wrote in his previous inspection summary.

Joel from JES provided top-notch, speedy service to repair a broken pump in my basement and run a new pipe through a tight crawlspace and out of the side of the house. Was a really tricky job, but he got it done right and took the time to communicate with me what the plan was at every step of the process. Very professional approach and results.

Home Repair Specialists in Richmond-Petersburg

Central Virginians including those from Richmond, Petersburg, Midlothian, and neighboring towns withstand hot, muggy summers every year. While you take shelter in your home from this weather, your home may need protection as well. High levels of humidity on an unprotected basement or crawl space can cause mildew and mold, as well as rot the joists your home rests on.  

The sandy properties of the soil in and around Richmond puts homes at a high risk of erosion over time. Erosion can cause your home to suffer from severe settling. While some settling is normal, it’s wise to have an expert take a look to ensure there are no severe issues beneath the surface. When paired with heavy rain or flooding, erosion can cause water to pool around your home and leak into your crawl space or basement. This can be another cause for mold in your home, and can produce condensation, wet basement walls, and efflorescence. 

Firmly standing on years of experience in foundation and crawl space repair, concrete lifting, and basement waterproofing, professionals at JES can accurately diagnose your Richmond home’s problem areas. We are proud to then give you permanent solutions tailored to your unique home, so you can continue enjoying it.
