Foundation Repair in Charlottesville, VA
If your home’s foundation needs repair, you can count on the experts at JES Foundation Repair to get the job done right the first time. To ensure that your home is structurally sound even if it is built on unstable soils in a rainy environment, our company provides unique solutions that are built to last. When it comes to foundation repair in Charlottesville, there are a number of factors at play, including the climate and the type of soil. Most of the soil in the Charlottesville area has a top layer of silty loam with a silty clay subsoil, leaving the top layer vulnerable to soil erosion and the bottom layer vulnerable to expansion.
The JES Process
Foundation Problem Signs in Charlottesville
Your home’s foundation is especially vulnerable to deterioration because of the humid climate and frequent rainfall found in Charlottesville and surrounding areas. When your home’s foundation is damaged, you should be aware of a wide range of problems that can occur. Cracks in your basement, along your chimney, and on your house’s outside brickwork are all symptoms that your foundation is settling.
Causes of Foundation Damage in Charlottesville
Damage to a foundation can be caused by many different things. For instance, soil erosion produced by a weak upper layer of dirt also damages your foundation as it sinks and settles into unstable soil. Depending on how much rain falls, the silty loam or silty clay soil below may also expand and contract, causing even more instability around your foundation. Because there are different types of soil in the area, being knowledgeable about both is very helpful.
Foundation Repair Solutions in Charlottesville
We have a variety of options for lifting, repairing, or stabilizing your foundation so that it can last for many years to come. Our solutions include helical and push piers, which are meant to stabilize your foundation by holding it in place and can potentially lift it back towards its original position. As a result of the area’s frequent summer rainfall and humidity, foundation waterproofing is strongly advised in Charlottesville.
Why Choose JES Foundation Repair
In order to ensure the stability of your home, you should focus on repairing its foundation. There are no costs or obligations associated with having JES evaluate your foundation. You can rely on our nearly three decades of experience when it comes to Charlottesville’s silty loam and clay subsoil, as well as high levels of humidity. We have received the Angi’s Super Service Award, and we have more than 3,000 positive customer reviews. For foundation repair in Charlottesville, we’re here for you.

Rick Smith provided a very thorough inspection of a foundation/moisture issue which has been plaguing one of the rooms in our home. Rick spent a total of four hours meticulously examining all aspects of what could possibly be causing the problem. He carefully explained his findings in a way that was comprehensible for individuals who worked outside of the construction industry. Ultimately, he determined that the issue was unrelated specifically to our foundation and provided tips on how to deal with our problem area, despite the fact that this would mean that JES would not be receiving our business. We really appreciated his time, attention, and honesty in finding a solution to our problem, rather than just pushing a product. Rick demonstrated patience and obvious expertise. For future issues that appear to have a foundation nexus, we will return to JES because of our amazing experience with Rick.

This five star review is for Ethan Mooney, the JES repair person who recently helped us with our JES project. Over 6 months after having JES complete installing a liner, dehumidifier and pump under our family room addition, we still noticed water. The service repair person, Ethan Mooney, recently came and found that the pump was never plugged in! Ethan was professional and not only fixed that easy problem but installed new equipment and inspected the liner. He was wonderful.

Jay came out to my house to conduct a free estimate to see if some of the cracks in my foundation were symptomatic of a larger problem, or were anything to worry about. He was very professional, took some measurements – including with a laser level – and looked around for any additional signs of a foundation issue. He took the time to explain things to me, and really helped me understand my foundation, terminology, and things to watch for! He helped to point out that I wasn't in any danger from the issues I saw, and gave me helpful advice on ways to make sure it stays that way! Would highly recommend JES to anyone (and would come back to them if I ever have any other issues), but especially would recommend to first time homeowners who have questions and want a straight up and honest answer on their issues!

We had our seasonal inspection done by JES today. Andre McDuffie was my service technician and he was excellent! He identified the concerns we had and did his best to correct. He made it very understandable as to why we were having the concerns we do. He will be putting a proposal and price together for the work that needs to be done after discussing it with his manager. Andre is a true credit & and strong asset to JES.

The team who fixed our support beams/foundation was wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about Freddy Zavaleta, Walter Zavaleta, and Jaime Salas who did the repairs: they were friendly, timely, and did wonderful work. Also, the permit team at JES really helped us when we still hadn’t received word from the city and it had been 6 weeks (and my husband and I had been sleeping on the couch and floor because the support beams were so bad under our room). Thank you to the entire team!

Abdul Jalloh is a tremendous field inspector. He is professional, courteous and a good communicator. He carefully explained the big scope of the job and the details. He continued to answer all my questions to my satisfaction. Abdul has a strong knowledge of the housing and engineering areas of the project. He provided options. Abdul provided the trust factor I needed to have JES perform the work needed. I highly recommend the company and you would benefit from having Abdul as your field inspector.

Booked an estimate for some work in a crawl space at a home in WV. Rick Smith showed up but was unable to provide an estimate due to clearance within the crawl space. He was able to answer a few questions and provide some guidance on how to move forward. It was unfortunate that we were unable to obtain service from this company.

We had our outside walkway lifted today as it had sunk to a dangerous angle. JES gave us a thorough inspect and estimate. They arrived early and did an excellent job being very respectful of the lawn and gardens. Bryan Rutherford and Austin Hicks were the technicians on the job. Very pleasant to deal with and explained everything. Thanks JES.

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!

I've now had JES complete two projects in my exposed crawlspace. Both times, they have added adjustable jacks on top of footers and either replaced a main beam or added a supplemental metal I Beam. I've been extremely impressed with their quality of work, timeliness, and efficiency. They show up ready to work and are sure to ask questions if needed. I spent time with both crews down in the crawl space and appreciated their professionalism and willingness to make things right.Foreman: Jaime CastilloAntonio CanalesJose Rafael GarciaThe only thing I was not pleased with was how little the office side of things kept in touch with me prior to pinning down this second date. I was told on multiple occasions I'd be receiving an update from the office and each time I had to call them. Again, overall I am very happy, hats off to the site workers and everyone I spoke to the in the office was very pleasant, I just wish they had provided more updates without being prompted. Would do business with again in the future.

My original appointment was to be on a Friday at 2pm. JES texted me the Monday prior asking if I would like to change the appointment to Tuesday at 2, which was great. The inspector, Jay called early Tuesday to see if we could meet at 1130. Jay showed up on time and we immediately dug into the issue…a likely sunken corner foundation of my carport. Jay covered all the possible solutions, went thru the warranty, timing, cost, etc. At no point did I feel pressured to make a decision and Jay conducted himself in a pleasant and professional manor.
