Foundation Repair in Baltimore, MD
Baltimore, MD, is a historic city with a mix of old and new homes. Whether structures were built within the last decade or a century ago, they all have the potential to experience foundation damage. This is largely because of Baltimore’s above-average rainfall and diverse loamy soil. You’ll know your foundation is in trouble if you start to notice various wall cracks, unevenness, and other movement.
Foundation damage is a serious issue that shouldn’t be ignored or repaired on your own. The best way to repair your foundation and ensure its longevity is with professional assistance from your local experts at JES Foundation Repair. We have the experience, expertise, and best permanent solutions to protect your Baltimore home for years to come.
The JES Process
Foundation Problem Signs in Baltimore
Foundation problems can be complex, but there are signs you can look for inside and outside your Baltimore home to get an idea of your foundation’s condition. These include drywall nail pops, drywall cracks, cracking basement walls, bowing basement walls, uneven floors, and sticking windows and doors throughout your home’s interior. Outside your house, keep an eye out for cracked bricks, cracking and leaning chimneys, and sinking, uneven foundations. When in doubt, contact our experts for a free foundation inspection.
Causes of Foundation Damage in Baltimore
Like many things, foundations can break down over time or may have been built without proper materials or attention. Any number of factors can affect the foundation of your Baltimore home, but the common cause behind most forms of foundation damage lies beneath your home. The soil underneath and surrounding your house needs to provide a stable base for the foundation. Baltimore’s loam soil with varied silty, clay, and gravelly properties can become unstable, especially when contending with the area’s 42 inches of annual rainfall.
Foundation Repair Solutions in Baltimore
Foundation issues can vary greatly depending on the unique structure of your Baltimore home and the extent of any damage that has occurred. In order to address these issues, it’s necessary to implement a repair solution that’s fully customizable to meet your home’s specific needs. At JES, we’re proud to provide a range of versatile repair systems, each designed to target specific problems. Here’s a deeper look into these solutions:
1. Piering Systems
- Helical Piers: These are screw-like supports that are driven into the ground to stabilize and potentially lift sinking or settling foundations. They are often used in situations where the soil condition requires a deeper foundation support.
- Push Piers: Push piers are driven into the ground until they reach a stable soil layer or bedrock. They’re used to lift and stabilize a foundation that’s sinking due to weak or shifting soil.
- Slab Piers: Slab piers are similar to other piers but are specifically designed for homes with a concrete slab foundation. They can help lift and stabilize a slab that is sinking or cracking.
2. Wall Repair Systems
- Wall Anchors: These are installed to stabilize and straighten basement walls that are bowing or cracking due to pressure from the surrounding soil.
- Wall Repair Beams: Steel beams are placed against the wall to prevent further bowing or cracking. They provide additional structural support to your foundation walls.
- Carbon Fiber Supports: Carbon fiber supports are strong and lightweight materials that are adhered to a foundation wall to stop bowing and cracking. They are a more modern and less invasive option for wall reinforcement.
3. Crawl Space Supports
If your home has a crawl space with sagging or bouncing floors above, crawl space supports can be installed. These are adjustable steel posts that can be placed in the crawl space to provide extra support to the above floor, helping to restore it to a level position.
Each of these solutions has its unique advantages and is designed to address specific foundation issues. The choice of repair method will depend on your home’s individual circumstances, the type of foundation you have, and the extent and type of damage present. Our team at JES will guide you in choosing the most appropriate solution for your home’s unique needs.

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.

On June 20th I met an inspector named Michael Riskin who came to my house to complete a foundation inspection. The initial problem was my step was cracked and falling apart. I was afraid to walk upstairs. After the the inspection was done I informed his company could not complete the repairs but he didn’t just say I am done we can’t do the repairs. He took the time to explain the problem and gave me a solution with another company. I felt so comfortable and confident about moving forward with my next step with the help from Micheal. That’s not it he also gave me some advice about safe and fixing my steps on my deck in which this was not part of his job. He did not know I had no idea how to go about fixing or get started with anything repairing of those stairs. He took the out of his schedule to text me the size and kind of nails to get and how far to go so I would not cause any more problems. Michael think you for being a caring person to a stranger who need help in more ways the knew. Thank you so kindly.
