Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Northern Virginia

There are numerous advantages to having an encapsulated crawl space for homeowners in Northern Virginia. Crawl space encapsulation is a permanent solution to protect your crawl space from rainwater and other elements. Washington, DC, has deep, well-drained soil, as opposed to the silty loam and expansive clay soil found in Northern Virginia. Year-round rain is common in Northern Virginia, making for a very wet environment. This makes protecting and encapsulating your home’s crawl space very important. JES Foundation Repair can provide you with permanent crawl space encapsulation, as well as other solutions you may need to protect your crawl space. 

Crawl Space Problem Signs in Northern Virginia

It’s critical to be aware of potential problem signs when inspecting the crawl space of your Northern Virginia home. Mold growth, pest infestations, and a buildup of humidity are all signs that your crawl space has been damaged by water. It will save you time and money in the long run if you know the signs of damage to your crawl space. Ignoring the obvious signs of crawl space damage can lead to additional problems that can cost you more than you intended to spend.

Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Northern Virginia

A wide range of factors can cause crawl space damage. Many crawl space problems are caused by the combination of expansive clay and silty loam soil and frequent wet weather in the area, which causes water pressure to press against your crawl space. As a result, water seeps into your basement or crawl space. Some of the other causes, such as an ineffective vapor barrier, are more of a wear-and-tear concern. Your crawl space’s foundation may shift if water collects inside or if the earth shifts due to the unique soil in Northern Virginia.

Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation Solutions in Northern Virginia

Crawl space repair issues can be solved permanently with the help of JES. A crawl space dehumidifier or a full vapor barrier reduces humidity levels in the area. Because of the hot, humid summers and cold, wet winters, the climate in Northern Virginia necessitates appropriate solutions to ensure that the problem is fixed correctly the first time. Contact us today for more information about our crawl space repair and encapsulation services.

Hats off to the awesome crew that raised our foundation this week! They were professional, friendly, worked efficiently, and left my yard better than it was before they started. There were a few hiccups in the beginning but our foreman, Manuel Guzman, sorted things out and worked towards the best solution. His team, Jose Cruz, Mayro, and Ruben and him worked so hard. I was truly impressed with their skill and so thankful that this was the crew I got for this job!

Great service. Took less than two hours and the driveway now lines up perfectly with the sidewalk that had sunken down.

We had our basement walls repaired and a water management system installed in our home over 16 years ago and it is still as good as the day JES installed it. Jay Hyman was our sales rep back then and still works at JES, now as a professional inspector. For the first time in 16 years, I recently reached out to JES to get copies of our old paperwork and Jay and the receptionist at the Manassas office were very friendly and super helpful. They went out of their way to get me what I needed. JES is a rare find, a company that’s stands behind their work – 16 years and counting.

Service Tech Brandon H cae for my yearly inspection of the wall braces and sump pump. Brandon was ever the orofessional as we reviewed my covered services and explained some other options for me to consider for the future. The braces were fine, the in checking the sump pump, we found it needed to be replaced. Brandon thoroughly explained the situation and replaced my sump pump in timely fashion. It was a pleasure meeting and engaging with him.

After considering a number of contractors for our foundation repair, we chose JES. The team included a number of qualified folks, and the onsite team of Jose Rodriquez, Victor Croz, and Nicolas Levano did a great job for the 2 day project. They were prompt, answered questions, and installed 16 steel brackets to reinforce our basement walls. Time will tell, and the job should result in stabilizing the foundation for a very long time. The company obviously has depth, and solid resources to call on when needed. Many thanks to the entire team including those I contracted with, spoke to on the phone, and quizzed on a number of topics for the job. John F.

This five star review is for Ethan Mooney, the JES repair person who recently helped us with our JES project. Over 6 months after having JES complete installing a liner, dehumidifier and pump under our family room addition, we still noticed water. The service repair person, Ethan Mooney, recently came and found that the pump was never plugged in! Ethan was professional and not only fixed that easy problem but installed new equipment and inspected the liner. He was wonderful.

I posted a complaint about 4 months ago regarding an issue I was having with the system installed by JES a few years ago. I want to provide an update. The JES team of Rick, Matt, Dalton, Davonte, and especially JR, we're excellent in resolving the issue. They effectively evaluated the situation, took ownership of the problem, and quickly established a plan to remedy the situation. They were efficient in executing their plan and I am beyond satified with the end results. Everyone exemplified professionalism, were courteous, and respectful. JR's follow up was on point and I am so glad that he was spearheading the effort. Thank you JES. You definitely exceeded my expectations.

You can’t be cheap when it comes to foundation repairs. JES is expensive, but you have access to knowledgeable engineers and consultants (Andrew Sean Wheeler), and their crews are quick and competent (foreman Jaime Castillo and Joel and Erick). If you live near the Potomac and have issues with marine clay, go straight to JES.
