Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Baltimore, MD
Need to clean your crawl space? Baltimore experiences a lot of rain throughout the year, resulting in a very soggy environment that can start to deteriorate structures in your crawl space. Winters are short, cold, and wet, while summers are hot and humid. During the summer, your crawl space must be protected from water damage, mold growth, and excess humidity.
Homeowners in Baltimore should look into crawl space encapsulation to protect their homes from water damage and deterioration.
Our innovative solutions – such as a crawl space dehumidifier or sump pump – effectively remove water once inside your crawl space, while crawl space encapsulation permanently seals your crawl space from water and other external elements. Crawl space insulation adds an extra protective layer against the elements. JES Foundation Repair specializes in these crawl space repairs and encapsulation solutions, and we have the expertise to protect your crawl space from water permanently.
The JES Process
Crawl Space Problem Signs in Baltimore
While we do not recommend you venture into your crawl space to investigate it, homeowners should be aware of signs of something wrong. Because of the wet climate, your crawl space area may have been damaged by water, leading to additional problems like mold, pest infestations, and humidity buildup. Recognizing these signs of damage to your crawl space means you don’t have to worry about more damage happening down the line. Crawl space damage can put the structural security of your home’s foundation at risk, making your home a very unpleasant and unsafe environment.
Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Baltimore
Many crawl space issues in Baltimore are caused by the peculiar, well-drained, but deep soils in the area, which allow water pressure to build up and begin to press against your crawl space. Your crawl space will be wet due to the leakage. In addition to this, an inefficient vapor barrier, which can be broken down over time, is more of a long-term maintenance issue that happens slowly. The foundation of your crawl space may shift because of soil shifting or water intrusion. Open crawl space vents are another major culprit that risks your crawl space and home.

Thank heaven for JES! Not only did they discover our sump pump had stopped working long ago, but they also recognized the work needed would be beyond just swapping out a pump. The intake lines had clogged and the tank was filled to the brim with unspeakable creepy black gunk. Other companies estimates didn’t include full removal of the crud or clearing intake/outflow lines. Then Ben, the installer arrived. He was 120% professional, respectful, eager, and friendly…even when he found a dead frog floating on the surface of the goop! You can tell that Ben really loves his work. It was joyful to witness his tenacity in getting that tank completely clean even though it took twice as long as was probably expected. And then near the end of the job, when verifying the lines were clear, another frog appeared. This time the frog was alive. Undaunted, Ben rescued and removed it. Throughout the process Ben inspired confidence in the quality and thoroughness of the work to be performed. I would recommend JES from beginning of the estimate process, scheduling communications, through job complete.

JES was very professional from the initial inspection to the crew that installed my crawlspace encapsulation. Antione was my foreman, he was very clear and polite when communicating the schedule and what to expect. The crew arrived on time each day and worked diligently. They even went even the extra mile with a couple changes to the original plan. I am very happy with the results and definitely recommend JES and Antione for crawlspace repairs.

What a team of hard workers! Bruce C. sat with us for a couple hours to work up a plan and explain the process, Antoine G. and his team Gearld P., Troy G., and Kevin P. were amazing with the installation inside and out! Knocked it out in 2 days and kept the entire work area nice and clean! They walked through the completed work and were very efficient and professional. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a foundation company and a healthier home! Thank you! Pat O.

First and foremost, I NEVER write reviews; however, I found it necessary in this case because the two young men who came to perform the work were true professionals. Foreman Michael Kuffour and Co-foreman Alan Brown arrived on time! They professionally introduced themselves. I felt immediately at ease because once I directed them to the area that needed repair, they quickly communicated operation issues and recommended changes so that the work to be performed was accurately understood in layperson's terms. They utilized precision measuring instruments and fixtures to measure the dimensions of finished work pieces: downspouts and sump pump operations. They were extremely conscientious and ensured that work complied with all relevant codes, standards, and job specifications. They followed procedures to maintain the work environment neat and orderly. Mike, the Project Supervisor, arrived. Mike was knowledgeable and provided information on further work and any materials and equipment needed. He communicated ways to gain efficiencies and more effective installation methods in collaboration with us (the customer), which I greatly appreciated so that we could meet the goals and work towards a final resolution to our water problem. He inspected the Encapsulation work under the crawl space also. Once the meeting was over, I felt secure that the remainder of the result would be proficiently performed and up to code. I recommend JES to anyone, for they provide A-1 work. The guys that they sent were tens (10) in every sense. For this, I give them five stars ***** . Thank You

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

I’m really happy with the work and conduct of the JES team. I hired them to install 6 pilings to stabilize a garage I had built 4 years ago. They arrived on time, and sent me a text on both mornings when they arrived. The crew was led by Santos Cruz, who was pleasant to speak with and was knowledgeable about the work being done. He answered all of my questions before and during the process. His team consisted of David Allerdings, Lucas Batista, and Joseph Wooten. All of the guys were very tolerant of my two Dogs who occasionally were sniffing and barking around the job site. Even though several of the holes were 5+ feet deep, they did a great job keeping them close to the building in an attempt to not dig up more than needed. The finished job looked very good, and except for the loss of grass, looked almost untouched. Additionally they buried a downspout pipe that had been previously laid on top of the ground which was a nice touch to finish off the job.

Had JES come out and install a box drain. Darrell M. The job supervisor called me early that morning to let me know what time he was coming. He greeted me and introduced himself and his crew, Ricky J. And Allen B. He told me what he was going to do and asked if I was ok with what he was going to do. They got right to work. When they were finished, he knocked on the door and showed me what he'd done. The job was done beautifully, and the clean-up was too. I'm very pleased with the work. And would use them again
