Foundation Repair Maryland

We're your local foundation repair contractor!

Since Maryland is a coastal peninsula it experiences a lot of foundation problems caused by flooding, Nor'easters and hurricanes.

Out of town contractors don't know about local conditions and may recommend solutions that don't completely solve the problem. They may recommend a foundation repair solution that's perfect for clay, but your home's built on rocky soil. Or they may recommend square shaft piers when round piers are a better solution for your home's foundation problem.

JES is locally owned and operated by Professional Engineers. And since we have repaired foundation problems throughout Maryland, we know what types of foundation problems you can find. You can feel confident knowing that the foundation repair solutions we recommend take into account local considerations like weather and soil.

You don't have to live with stressful foundation problems, learn how you can save yourself time and money by requesting a professional foundation evaluation and receiving your Free Homeowner's Guide to Foundation Repair.

What Causes Maryland Foundation
Repair Problems?

Maryland is subject to a lot of dramatic weather changes. From extreme dry heat to heavy rains, and snow. These weather conditions can create a major problem for your home's foundation.

Dry Heat
It's not uncommon for Maryland to have a drought or extremely hot summer. The hot weather removes the moisture from the soil. The soil dries it shrinks as it dries, and moves away from your home's foundation. The space surrounding your foundation allows for movement and settlement. When this happens you'll start to see drywall cracks, cracked bricks, stuck windows and doors and concrete cracks in your garage or porch.

Rain & Snow
The ground surrounding your home's foundation will soak up the water, and if you live on expansive soil this could create a big problem. If you don't have a drainage system in place, or the footing drains are clogged, the water will accumulate next to your foundation. The pressure or weight of the water against your foundation – a.k.a. hydrostatic pressure – will create foundation problems like bowed walls, horizontal foundation cracks and brick cracks.

Flooding
The sudden change of water surrounding your foundation can spell trouble. Just like rain and snow, the flooding can result in settlement, collapsed walls and other serious structural problems.
