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. But there are other issues throughout your home that signal crawl space damage. Keep an eye out for increased pest activity, mold growth, high electric 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.

My foreman Augustin and his crew were amazing. They came in early and did a walkthrough and explained what work they were going to do. After the work was completed Augustin showed the photos of the work as they progressed and sent them to me as I requested. They did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for work that needs done to the foundation/crawlspace.

Jaime Castillo (foreman), and Antonio Canales were absolutely AMAZING! They stayed in communication with us throughout the process, and made sure that everything was up to par. I highly recommend this crew! They are courteous, kind, and cleaned up well after they finished. This team came in after a previous team made a hot mess the week prior. The concern they showed was amazing. Give this team a raise!

I rarely write reviews but I just had to rave about Ajeet Ryatt of JES Foundation. I'm experiencing interior cracking and was afraid there was a foundation issue. From the moment he arrived Ajeet was the model of professionalism. He explained the evaluation process and answered all of my questions. Thankfully, my issue was not related to the foundation. Of course I would never wish foundation issues on anyone but in the event you need foundation repair, I highly recommend JES and Ajeet.

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!

JES stabilized our house foundation which is in sandy soil close to tidal water. The supervisor, Moises Paz came to the house several times prior to the repair to ensure the engineer had a clear understanding of the problem. He stayed in touch every step of the process. The crew Foreman Jaime Castillo and his team Antonio Canales and Jason Morales were very professional. They put down sheeting to protect the lawns and were careful around the shrubs. Mr. Castillo explained everything he was doing and why. They cleaned up, added top soil and seeded. Very satisfied. We recommend JES and Mr. Paz for any foundation work in Maryland.
