Concrete Lifting, Leveling, & Repair in Charlottesville, VA

Cross-section of a small blue house with a porch, brick foundation, and surrounding grass on a soil platform.

As a homeowner in Charlottesville, VA, it’s crucial to maintain the concrete around your house and foundation. Concrete is a durable substance, but it is nevertheless susceptible to damage. Structures like concrete driveways, sidewalks, and steps can crack, sink, and become uneven over time. This is largely due to Charlottesville’s problematic soil and weather. 

Without having to completely replace the concrete on your property, concrete lifting with polyurethane injections is the best way to restore damaged concrete. You can trust our team at JES Foundation Repair to evaluate the concrete around your home because our specialists are fully aware of what to look for. We are also well-versed in Charlottesville’s hot, muggy, and rainy weather as well as the silty loam and silty clay soil and how these factors impact concrete.

Common Concrete Problems in Charlottesville

If there’s one thing that can be said about concrete damage, it’s that problem signs are usually pretty easy to spot with the naked eye. Issues you might notice with your property’s concrete include cracks, sinking and uneven slabs, driveway cracks, sidewalk cracking and unevenness, uneven concrete steps, and pitting, flaking, or staining. Not only do these problems make your property look bad, but they can be dangerous for anyone walking or driving over damaged concrete. 

What Causes Concrete Damage in Charlottesville?

Concrete can sustain damage for a variety of reasons, but the most common reasons why concrete sinks have to do with concrete structures being exposed to the elements. The silty loam and silty clay soil common in the area can dry out in hot weather and swell when oversaturated. Charlottesville usually gets around 45 inches of rain every year, which is well above the national average. This can lead to soil washout and erosion that leaves concrete without proper support. 

Polyurethane Foam Leveling Experts in Charlottesville

Instead of outdated, invasive techniques like mud jacking, JES offers a state-of-the-art concrete lifting solution. PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections are lightweight, durable, easy to install, quick curing, and versatile. We can use this solution to lift concrete sidewalks, driveways, patios, pool decks, steps, interior slab floors, and more. Once the polyurethane foam is injected under the concrete, it expands to fill any voids, and this allows for the precise lifting and stabilization of the slabs. 

Why Choose JES Foundation Repair for Concrete Levelin

Homeowners around Charlottesville are no strangers to concrete problems like cracking and uneven slabs. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with these unsightly dangers. You can have your concrete lifted and restored with a repair exclusive to JES. Our locally based team knows how Charlottesville’s weather and unstable soil can take their toll on concrete, and we want to ease your mind with reliable repairs and exceptional customer service. 

JES has been helping homeowners like you throughout Charlottesville and surrounding areas repair their concrete for almost 30 years, and we are ready to help you too. Don’t let your broken concrete get the best of your home. Contact us today to schedule your free concrete inspection and repair estimate.

I had basement waterproofing done and JES did great work. They started the job on schedule and finished a day early. Roberto Lemus, Osman Ochoa and Alejandro Vazquez were fantastic. Roberto kept me informed during the entire process. At the end of every day I was given an update and walk thru. They cleaned up when the entire job was finished. They were a great team and should I need JES again, I would be happy to work with this group. Thank you JES for a great job!!! Shirley Tucker

I had 3 intelijacks installed in a day w/ minimal cleanup. They were friendly, efficient and knew how to do this based on engineering plans. Jesus Baires, Freddy & Walter Zavaleta know what they are doing so if they arrive, . . . . you are in good hands. They cleared up my misunderstanding and were very understanding. The cost of installing is a bit pricey but it will be done safely and at code. Get Gerald to do your estimate and engineering. He knows his stuff!

Hired JES to stabilize our sinking foundation after a very positive site survey with field engineer Skylar Wilson. He explained the repair process and guarantee very well and worked with us to develop a logical repair plan. Once the job was scheduled and that date arrived, the install crew of Jaime Castillo, Joel Larios, and Cesar Zafra came and immediately went to work. They were very organized and performed in a very efficient manner. They were patient and provided excellent feedback for my questions of this fascinating process. They maintained a very clean and neat working environment. Skylar: thanks for giving us a great customer experience. Jaime, Joel, Cesar: ¡Eres increíble! ¡Buen trabajo!

I was extremely pleased with the work that the men from JES foundation did. We had water seeping into our basement and they came and installed a french drain and also did some work with our gutters to extend them far out. Abdul W. found a root from a bush that was pushing against the wall and cut it off so it would not be an issue. He was very informative and educated me as the work was being done and pointed out problem areas they were going to fix along the way. The other men, Nilhon R. and Walter F. The men did a great job overall and cleaned up all of the mess afterward and I would highly recommend them.

I just received a visit from Inspector Andre Williams. I was happy to receive a text message to confirm the arrival time. I also received an arrival text. This heads up allowed me the opportunity to move my feisty dog to another room. Andre's visit was due to a request I put in for a warning signal that has been repeating for the last week. Andre explained the reason for the signal, and immediately resolved the problem. That definitely put me at ease. Thank you so much Andre. The signal was driving me crazy, but now I feel sanity returning. Wonderful!

The JES team was amazing and I am so grateful for their patience and time. I had concerns going into the project and there were some changes I didn’t expect, but each concern was taken seriously. Thank you to the Superintendent Rudy Gonzalez and his team: Jose Lopez, Victorino Jonya, Ernesto Castillo. Truly these guys worked hard, kept me informed, and chose what was best for my home at each decision.
