"Mr. Rudy Gonzale, Superintendant at the JES in Bristow, VA, came to our rescue when my husband and I called about a foundation water problem. Rudy showed up in a very timely manner. He was very polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. He explained things in a way in which we could understand what was going on with the issue we were experiencing. Rudy listened to and understood our concerns and in a very professional manner he demonstrated empathy and assurance that everything will be alright. Even though my husband and I had never met Rudy before we felt he treated us like he would a family member. Rudy was a blessing to us. He was true to his word that "Everything would be alright". I highly recommend Rudy and his team who assisted us in resolving our problem. We could go on and on about Rudy with the highest accolades because the words Thank You to Rudy doesn't seem adequate."

Types of Foundation Damage in Kensington

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Kensington

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
