Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Baltimore, MD
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.

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.

The inspector came out two times and was professional and thorough. He didn't a great deal of time walking me through options and modifications and discussing the process and timeline for doing the work. Follow up scheduling was very easy and convenient.

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

4 star due to scheduling issues I had and having to call to get the work completed.Joe Crossfield/David Gaskins/Larry and crew were great.Joe was the sales guy that came out to quote us for the work. He was very polite and was honest about what needed to be done. He didn’t upsell us on any add ons and helped us save a little bit of money by offering alternatives for the encapsulation project.Larry and crew: they came and did the work and did a great job. Cleaned up after themselves and completed the work. Not sure if it was the day or the overwhelming work the crew had, but I felt like I was rushed when I asked questions and felt like an inconvenience when I did asked questions. So I didn’t appreciate that.David Gaskins: was polite and explained how to clean the dehumidifier and all that. Explained what the RH% should be in the crawlspace and showed me how to work the dehumidifier. I originally called because I wanted my encapsulated crawlspace to be at 40% RH but it wasn’t getting there. He explained to me that it is possible for the machine to get down that low but explained the issue that I may have with my foundation and wood beam. He was very honest and did not rush me when I was asking the questions.Cons:-After paying the deposit, I had to give the office a call to schedule my appointment. I would think that they would call me to schedule and get it on the books, but that did not happen.-the scheduler scheduled the encapsulation, but not the electricians subcontractor. You would think that they should schedule the electrician first before the work so that the work is totally complete once the crew comes. I ended up calling the office, getting the phone number to the electricians, and calling the electricians myself to get something scheduled since the office could only email the subcontractor to be put on the books.

Had the pleasure of dealing with Jason Gamse today and he did an excellent job of not only educating us in regards to the work his company does but also assisting us in the best process to get what we needed done to our home. He was the third person that came out and the saying “save the best for last” definitely applied to him. After this job is done we will come back for any future work needed for our home and definitely ask for him personally.

Foreman David Gaskins came to our house after our basement was waterproofed. Some water came in from a heavy rain and and a repair we were promised was not done. David inspected the waterproofing work and found what needed to be done to be sure water would not come in again. This has been a very stressful time for us but David has been wonderful and gone above and beyond to keep in constant touch with us and coming up with a plan on how to make the corrections. We are just so thankful that he is the one that came to our house to look at what the problem was. Your company is lucky to have him.
