The JES team: Christopher Gonzalez, Joel Larios, and Arcy Parra, were great, very professional. I was curious about the process of placing piers in the ground to stabilize my foundation and Christopher walked me through the whole process explaining the work they were doing and what to expect along the way. I like that their work has a lifetime warranty as well.

Dave and I met up to discuss concrete leveling to remove trip hazards on our condo community sidewalks. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. He shared many remedies to improve our situations. I’m hoping our board will be receptive to our plan.

I had Jim B come to my home and we inspected the crawl. He was thorough and answered all of my questions and he really listened to my concerns. We are having our crawlspace moisture taken care of by the best. I give 5+ starts to Jim and Groundworks.

So I contacted JES to get a quote on crawlspace encapsulation. We were then contacted by Joseph McCullough. We made an appointment to schedule an inspection. He was prompt, courteous and professional. We did finally decide on the job, but unfortunately were unable to go through with the home improvement at this time. I do however recommend him if you are thinking of any type of foundation repairs.

My two year dehumidifier was leaking a lot of water. I called JES and the service tech (Aric Banks) did an excellent job of fixing the problem. He leveled the pump, cleaned the filter and drain tube and moved the pump to a new location so that the water from the pump would drain more efficiently.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeanne from JES Foundation Repair, and I couldn’t be more impressed. As an inspector and sales associate, Jeanne’s extensive knowledge was evident from the start. She thoroughly explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Her communication skills are exceptional, and she answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. It’s rare to meet someone with such a strong combination of expertise and people skills. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone in need of foundation services—she truly goes above and beyond!

Chad Anderson, JES Certified Field Inspector, diagnosed and solved a years long basement water issue by suggesting I run my water related kitchen and laundry appliances while he was inspecting my home’s foundation for water seepage in the unfinished basement. Turned out the problem was not basement’s foundation at all, but rather a plumbing drainage issue. Chad Anderson is an exemplary professional. He was thorough in his diagnosing and deliberations with me throughout his visit. He couldn’t have been more patient, insightful and good-natured in spite of the outcome of his inspection. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone seeking honest assessment of suspected foundation issues.

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.

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.
