We were very pleased with the prompt, courteous, efficient and professional response for service on our Basement Dehumidifier Unit performed by Christopher Phillips on behalf of the JES team today. The unit was initially expertly installed by Andrew Alman with JES and has performed exceptionally well until recently. Mr. Phillips was able to perform a comprehensive diagnostic survey to uncover a problem and to restore complete function. Within minutes our ambient relative humidity was restored and our basement environment improved. JES is fortunate to have Mr. Phillips on the team and we greatly appreciate competent and professional attention to customer service .

JES installed my sump pump in October 2023. Today (9/25/24) was my annual maintenance appointment to be sure that everything was working well with it. My technician, Ben, contacted me on 9/24/24 to check in with me on any possible issues that he needed to be made aware of prior to my appointment as well as to confirm my appointment. Very professional and polite. Fast forward to the appointment, Ben arrived on time, once again was very professional. I showed him where it was installed so he could get to work. Unbeknownst to both Ben and I, well there was no power going to the sump pump. That was as easy as flipping a switch on the breaker box. Then, Ben noticed a leak in the piping that was installed when the sump pump was installed. Ben ended up having to cut my drywall in which JES will incur the cost to repair it back. But this was nothing he couldn't handle although he did have to make an unexpected run to Home Depot/Lowes to get the tool needed to cut the pipe. Ben returned in a decent amount of time and got right to work. Ben repaired the pipe, cleaned the sump pump bucket, and ensured everything was working correctly. Towards the end of the appointment, Ben made a few recommendations and ending up finding out that the piping that is coming out of the from of my house that pushes the water out was installed incorrectly and was not was I paid for. Therefore, Ben made a call to his supervisor, Megan Hartman, to put her on notice about this issue as well. Ben assured me that someone from the service department would reach out to me to schedule repairs for the piping outside as well as the wall repair. Overall, I would give Ben a 10/10 and would highly recommend him as your service tech. He made sure to answer any questions I had to the best of his ability, remain professional, kept me informed throughout the whole appt, valued me as a paying customer, and advised me that if I had any further questions after this appt that I shouldn't hesitate to reach out to him. Ben was AWESOME‼

recently hired JES Foundation Repair for basement waterproofing and foundation stabilization, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. They provided a detailed plan that included a full perimeter drainage system, sump pump installation, and wall protection to prevent moisture issues. What stood out most was their transparency—clear pricing, transferable warranties, and compliance with all local regulations. The crew worked efficiently and left the area clean, and the quality of workmanship was top-notch. It’s clear they take pride in doing things the right way. If you’re looking for a reliable contractor for foundation or waterproofing work, JES Foundation Repair is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! Thank you Brandon Warren, Tyler Holthaus, Larry White and the whole team for job well done

Never good when your basement leaks, but JES was top notch from the time Marcelo stepped through our door with the free estimate until Gerald P, Troy G, and Kevin P finished the job and cleaned everything up. I had a few other estimates but Marcelo gave me an option no one else even me. Saved me thousands! I would highly recommend JES when you are looking for foundation repair.

On June 20th I met an inspector named Michael Riskin who came to my house to complete a foundation inspection. The initial problem was my step was cracked and falling apart. I was afraid to walk upstairs. After the the inspection was done I informed his company could not complete the repairs but he didn't just say I am done we can't do the repairs. He took the time to explain the problem and gave me a solution with another company. I felt so comfortable and confident about moving forward with my next step with the help from Micheal. That's not it he also gave me some advice about safe and fixing my steps on my deck in which this was not part of his job. He did not know I had no idea how to go about fixing or get started with anything repairing of those stairs. He took the out of his schedule to text me the size and kind of nails to get and how far to go so I would not cause any more problems. Michael think you for being a caring person to a stranger who need help in more ways the knew. Thank you so kindly.

Foundation Expertise in Washington DC and Baltimore
From Washington, DC, to Baltimore, the humidity and swamp-like summers can be tough to bear. If the climate is hard on you, it can also be hard on your home. Without any waterproofing barrier or the proper supports, your basement or crawl space can be susceptible to mold and wood rot, which can compromise the structure of your home. Wet, moldy walls in your basement, wet carpet, and a generally musty smell coming from your home’s lower structure are all signs of moisture and water control issues. Paired with soil type, the climate can wreak havoc on your home.
Legore soil is prominent in Washington, DC, and South-Central Maryland including Bethesda, Columbia, and Dundalk. This soil is typically well-drained, which is good news for homeowners. However, it’s still susceptible to periods of freezing and thawing, which can cause cracks in your home’s foundation, concrete slab driveway, and sidewalks. You may also notice bowing in your walls, or even cracks and wall gaps.
When ignored, these seemingly small problems can take on a life of their own. You can avoid severe or even dangerous structural issues in your home by trusting the experts at JES. We know how to diagnose the source of your home’s issues, and find the waterproofing, basement, crawl space and concrete solutions that can specifically protect your home.
