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.
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.
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.
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.
While our name says “Foundation,” we are so much more than that. We have nearly 30 years of experience with repairing and encapsulating homes throughout Charlottesville and nearby. During that time, we have earned thousands of excellent reviews from homeowners like you who have trusted us with their crawl space repair and encapsulation. We also have earned numerous awards like Angi Super Service.
Our team also has extensive experience and knowledge about Charlottesville’s year-round rain, silty loam and silty clay loam soils, and how they interact with each other to impact homes and their crawl spaces. If you are ready to take back the health of your crawl space and home, contact us today to schedule your free crawl space inspection and repair quote.

I felt Dasmine Littlejohn was very courteous and assured me that the problem will be fixed even if it has to be redone. He said to expect a call the next day and it will be taken care of in a timely fashion. Sandra Haney
