JES did an excellent job on our crawl space. We had water accumulating around the whole perimeter of the crawl space. We had also had a toilet leak causing black mold, which had been professionally cleaned up, but we wanted fresh insulation. The JES team arrived on schedule and worked diligently to remove the insulation above and the flimsy plastic that covered the earthen floor of the crawl space. They then laid rubber matting and white membrane over the dirt and put thick styrofoam on the walls. They dug a trench around the perimeter and installed 2 sump pumps and 2 dehumidifiers to deal with future water. Meanwhile a separate team arrived to put foam under our patio to stop it from sliding away from the house. Everyone called before they arrived and each member of this large team was always professional and answered all questions thoroughly. They cleaned up well each day which I thoroughly appreciate. I want to add that Brian Swain was an amazing leader and manager of his 5 to 7 man crawl space team. He kept the project on schedule, kept me informed about progress and what would happen when, and always made himself available to answer questions. Thank you, Brian! Bryan Rutherford did a great job putting foam under the patio and sealing where it meets the house. The crawl space team, Gio Ordonez, Mohamed Kamara, and Pedro Llontop worked hard each day and were always professional. Superintendent Demetrius Cooper came by to ensure everything was going well and he answered additional questions and made great recommendations. Overall the whole crew was excellent. I highly recommend this team, their dedication to doing the work well and their professionalism.

Since we had a maintenance contract we did not have to pay anything for today’s visit. We did renew our contact as the house is old and needs to have everything checked yearly. Our technician CJ Pedroza was very personable and I would highly recommend his services. We will be needing new pipes under the house as we still have the original cast iron pipes when the house was built in 1964. In addition to the main pipes being checked all the indoor pipes (bathroom/kitchen) plus the hot water heater flushed. All this was included in the service contact. Well worth having. A-1 Sewer and Drain is a great company!

I had foundation issues in my home and contacted Alpha Foundations. Dylan *. and his team came to the rescue. Dylan was very professional and explained all procedures before, during and after. In addition, sent photos of all of the work. Nick *., Max *. and Jack *. did an excellent job and thoroughly cleaned up after. Would recommend this team for anyone needing their services.

Rick Smith provided a very thorough inspection of a foundation/moisture issue which has been plaguing one of the rooms in our home. Rick spent a total of four hours meticulously examining all aspects of what could possibly be causing the problem. He carefully explained his findings in a way that was comprehensible for individuals who worked outside of the construction industry. Ultimately, he determined that the issue was unrelated specifically to our foundation and provided tips on how to deal with our problem area, despite the fact that this would mean that JES would not be receiving our business. We really appreciated his time, attention, and honesty in finding a solution to our problem, rather than just pushing a product. Rick demonstrated patience and obvious expertise. For future issues that appear to have a foundation nexus, we will return to JES because of our amazing experience with Rick.

Bryan ********** and Austin ***** did a great job with lifting our front porch. I didn't think they would be able to get it back to level with our posts, but they did (and it took a lot of foam to get there!)
