Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Charlottesville, VA
The crawl space under your Charlottesville, VA, home could be teeming with humid air, bugs and other pests, water, flooding, and other problems, and you just don’t know it. Most homeowners don’t venture into their crawl spaces for these reasons, and we don’t advise you to visit this area anytime soon. However, it is crucial to be aware of the condition of your crawl space because its health dictates the health of the rest of your home.
Leave the crawl space inspection to our experienced team at JES Foundation Repair. We know how to safely and accurately evaluate this space under your Charlottesville home and diagnose any problems. We’ll also present you with permanent solutions tailored to fit your crawl space’s specific repair needs.
The JES Process
Crawl Space Problem Signs in Charlottesville
There are many problem signs that indicate your Charlottesville crawl space needs to be repaired. Internal signs your JES inspector might notice include wet insulation, standing water or flooding, condensation, and mold growth. But there are other issues throughout your home that signal crawl space damage. Keep an eye out for increased pest activity, mold, high energy bills, high humidity, and sagging floors. Before any of these issues worsen, reach out to JES for a free crawl space inspection and repair estimate.
Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Charlottesville
Several causes could be leading to your Charlottesville home’s crawl space problems. The most common culprit, however, is open crawl space vents. While it was originally thought that vents would help reduce humidity and moisture problems, they have been found to cause these issues. This is especially problematic during Charlottesville’s humid summers. Muggy, unconditioned air enters the crawl space through open vents and travels upward through your home because of the stack effect. This means that any dangers like moisture and mold can find their way into your main living space.
Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation Solutions in Charlottesville
How your crawl space is repaired and protected depends on any existing waterproofing measures and their condition, as well as the extent of any damage. The crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions your JES inspector might recommend include interior drainage, a sump pump, a dehumidifier, encapsulation with a vapor barrier, vent covers, and specialized crawl space supports to shore up floors and floor joists. While your Charlottesville crawl space might need one or all of these solutions, they work perfectly together to keep your crawl space dry and structurally sound.

You can’t be cheap when it comes to foundation repairs. JES is expensive, but you have access to knowledgeable engineers and consultants (Andrew Sean Wheeler), and their crews are quick and competent (foreman Jaime Castillo and Joel and Erick). If you live near the Potomac and have issues with marine clay, go straight to JES.

Josh Clarke came out to provide us with a quote for poly fill, and he was excellent to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain the process and answer all of our questions. We never felt rushed, and he made sure we understood exactly what he was seeing and what options were available. What stood out most was how personable and genuine he was. It’s clear that he cares about helping homeowners make informed decisions rather than simply making a sale. We really appreciated Josh’s honesty, professionalism, and the time he spent.

The entire JES team needs to be commended — Rafael Garcia, Jose Lovato, and Wilton Mendoza — the very fine crew — arrived on time and ready to do the work; they worked efficiently, effectively, and knowledgeably as a well-oiled team and "machine." They informed us of each step along the way and explained everything thoroughly and completely. They used pictures from their phones to help explain the process and what they were doing. After they finished their work, they cleaned up the work area, gave us all the written information we needed, explained everything — they were so informative, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, WARM and FRIENDLY! It's so nice to work with friendly, happy, smiling people! What an amazing staff — Ally at the office — thank you for answering our questions, being so efficient, providing assistance, and being so warm and friendly, too. The JES crew gave us the invaluable peace of mind that our basement will stay dry. No more worries about rain or mold or mildew or critters getting in! We give you 100 stars! All As, 100%! Thank you so very much!

This is for the workers. They were polite, very helpful and they worked so hard getting my house jacked up and secured all with me living in it. They helped to move stuff around for me, so they could take up floors. I can’t say enough good things about Walter Z. Yzquierdo, Freddy Zavaleta, Walter Zavaleta and the rest of their crew.
