Basements are rare in homes throughout Hampton Roads, but staying vigilant about potential problems and addressing them right away with reliable repairs will go a long way in protecting your home if you do have a basement.
Most homes in Hampton Roads, VA, are not built with basements because of the area’s high water table and loamy soils with sandy and silty properties. While only a small percentage of homes throughout the Hampton Roads area have basements, it’s still important to be aware of the problems they can experience, the causes behind them, and how JES Foundation Repair can help. If your home has a basement, read on to learn more about issues like water leaks and mold, as well as the solutions that will keep your basement and home permanently repaired and protected.

Whether you spend a lot of time in your Hampton Roads basement or rarely ever visit this area of your home, there are a few problems you might discover that point to the need for waterproofing or other repairs. Water leaks, moisture, mold growing in your basement or other parts of your house, efflorescence on concrete basement walls or floors, and musty aromas in the basement or throughout your house are the most typical trouble indications to be aware of. It’s crucial to contact your local basement specialists at JES as soon as you start to notice these and other problems in order to nip them in the bud.
There are numerous causes of the aforementioned problem signs. While interior factors like a malfunctioning sump pump, leaky water heater, or ruptured plumbing line may be to blame, the soil under and around your Hampton Roads house is the most common cause of basement issues. After the basement walls are constructed, the soil that was dug up during the construction of your home is replaced. This loose sandy, silty loam soil is easily oversaturated, which can lead to the formation of an artificial water table and the clay bowl effect. Due to the hydrostatic pressure created by the water in the soil, basement walls may crack and leak.
With the knowledge and equipment of dependable basement waterproofing specialists, your Hampton Roads basement, and consequently the rest of your house, can be repaired and protected in the best possible way. Your JES inspector may suggest remedies like an interior drainage system, a sump pump, a dehumidifier, a wall vapor barrier, and more. Each product is significant and has its own advantages, but all these solutions are meant to function as a whole waterproofing system to provide your basement the total defense it needs.
For almost 30 years, homeowners throughout Hampton Roads have relied on JES Foundation Repair as their go-to source for basement waterproofing solutions. We are familiar with the difficulties local homeowners encounter as a result of the region’s sandy and silty loam soils, year-round rain, and high humidity.

I had my slab lifted with push piers then filled with poly and this company came in a tad bit more expensive than some other companies however the quality and warranty made them worth the extra cost, which in my opinion is marginal, and their team was professional and explained everything so I knew what was going on during the process. I definitely recommend JES for your foundation repair needs. Huge thanks to the crew that did the repair for push piers it was Agustin G., Agustin L. and Eduardo L. Poly was Andrew F. and Steven S. Super professional they got in did their work and cleaned up great looks like no one was ever there.
