Why your neighbors trust JES Foundation Repair

We've earned 5,108 five star reviews.

"Mr. Philip Wilson of JES visited my mothers home for service and, from the initial call to his departure, the level of customer service, attention to detail, and knowledge of his trade was most evident in everything he did. He went above and beyond to explain the situation in a clear and concise manner and supported each of his conclusions with pictographic evidence and fact based analysis. JES struck gold with Philip and he represents his trade at a stellar level. For many of us, money isn't exactly growing on trees, so when we pay for service its good to know there are folks out there who go above and beyond to exceed our expectations and wont nickel and dime their customers with unnecessary charges or estimates for work that isn't required. Don't hesitate to give these guys a call and if you're lucky you'll get Mr. Wilson to visit your home too."

Types of Basement Damage in Chesapeake

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Chesapeake

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
