Santos and his crew Corey, Lucas, Bernard, And Jesse are very hard workers. We had great communication and they are very respectful. There was a lot of hand digging throughout the project through heavy clay and they knocked it out relentlessly.

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 .

Chris Phillips from JES came out yesterday to upgrade my sump pump to a unit with a battery backup that would pump even if the power was out. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job removing the old pump and installing the new and improved setup. Chris’s workmanship was top notch as he connected all the plumbing and electrical controls. He tested it all out and now I have the peace of mind that the crawl space will stay dry even if we lose power during a storm. I highly recommend Chris and JES for your foundation and crawlspace work.

Every step of the process was very professional and informative. Our estimate interview was very informative and they gave us info for future use too.

I enjoyed working with the JES crew, consisting of A. Grant, G. Peoples, T. Griffin and M. Usury. I am pleased to share my positive experience. They called to confirm their arrival an hour in advance, which I appreciated, and they arrived promptly. Their unwavering dedication was evident as they worked professionally for over six hours, demonstrating a solid commitment to quality. The team's attention to detail was commendable, particularly in their prep work and care for protecting the interior space, as well as in the installation and cleanup processes. I was particularly impressed by the team's exceptional communication and collaboration skills, which played a significant role in the project's success. I highly recommend this crew for their professionalism and expertise. Their work was aligned with the sales agent's plan, and I am extremely satisfied with the results, particularly the entire project life cycle . DL Booker

Within three days of calling, JES had Chad onsite to do a thorough inspection. Based on our introductory conversation, I could tell Chad was very knowledgeable and experienced. He spent nearly two hours inspecting my home to identify the cause of the issue I was experiencing. Upon completion, Chad informed me that he and JES could not help. They couldn't help because the problem was not with my basement or foundation walls. Rather he pointed out two downspouts and a grading issue under the down spouts that were caus of my issues. It is not very often I have run across a true professional like Chad who did not put profit over honesty. Because he was honest, I have likely kept thousands of dollars in my pockets and JES Foundation Repair has earned my respect, my honest review, and all future references I make for them to friends and family in the area with foundation issues. Thank you Chad and JES for your ethics, honesty, and promptness! – Dave H

I had an inspection today as I was curious about my new house and the way it was Settling and the fact that it was built on a swamp. Jeff from JES foundation repair came in and do the thorough inspection. He gave me good advice and suggestions. Explained everything wonderfully. If I could’ve hugged him, I would have. Great personality, honest.

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.
