Baltimore's climate, characterized by an annual average of 41 inches of rainfall, poses significant risks to home foundations. The clay soil in the area swells when saturated with water and shrinks during dry spells, leading to uneven settling and structural issues like wall cracks and misaligned doors. JES Foundation Repair employs advanced techniques such as pier systems and wall anchors to provide effective solutions that protect your foundation from damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
JES Foundation Repair (JES), a Groundworks Company, is proud to serve Baltimore residents with top-notch foundation repair services.

"Very appreciate of the work done to solve water issues in my basement. Antoine Gant, Gerald Peoples, and Troy Griffin did a phenomenal job installing a drainage system and pump. Along with the installation work, they also helped clear all the sandbags away from the work area. I’m thankful for their willingness to go above and beyond the scope of the job. It was a huge help. They were tidy, patient, and open to answering any questions I had. After they were done they gave me very specific instructions on how to manage the work area. No complaints at all about the work these gentleman did in my home! Blessings."
Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Baltimore
Water Damage
Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.
Expansive Soil
Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.
Poor Drainage
Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.
Plumbing Leaks
Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.
Climate Conditions
Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.
These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
