Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Lynchburg, VA

Lynchburg, Virginia residents that have their crawl space enclosed enjoy a variety of benefits. The summers in Lynchburg are hot and humid, while the winters are cold and damp. The summers result in excessive humidity in your crawl space, while the short, rainy winters can result in wet, deteriorated wood or insulation. 

The majority of the soil in Lynchburg consists of a mixture of sandy loam and red clay. Clay soil is expansive, meaning that it contracts when dry and swells when wet, causing damage to your home’s foundation and crawl space. You can trust JES Foundation Repair with your Lynchburg home because we are familiar with these problems in the region. 

Crawl Space Problem Signs in Lynchburg, VA

When investigating the crawl area of your Lynchburg, VA house, it is vital to be on the lookout for evidence of potential issues. Mold, pest infestations, and a buildup of humidity are all indicators that water has caused harm to your crawl space. Understanding the signs of damage to your crawl space will save you time and money in the long run. Ignoring the obvious signs of deterioration to a crawl space can result in further, costly issues and put your home at risk of dangerous conditions.

Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Lynchburg, VA

Crawl space damage can be caused by a variety of things. When the sandy loam soil and the area’s regular rainy weather push water pressure against your crawl space, it generates hydrostatic pressure. Your crawl space becomes flooded as a result. Some of the other causes, such as an ineffective vapor barrier, are more of a wear-and-tear problem. As time goes on, your vapor barrier can fall victim to the elements or pest infestations that will cause the barrier to tear in place. Protecting your crawl space from these issues is imperative as a crawl space owner in Lynchburg.

I had forman Charles and installers Hunter, Ricco, and Rock come out and encapsulate my crawl space today. The guys were prompt, professional, and very polite! I highly recommend their work (they need a drone to help with photos in tight crawlspaces like mine lol). This is a huge expensive project, but a heck of an investment. Dont hire your cousin to do this job (the previous owner of my house did this, my floors sag and i had mold on my joists), hire professionals, I highly recommend the JES crew. I will tell all my friends to go with JES if they have foundation issues. 10 out of 10! Thanks again guys!!!

Bradley was on time and very friendly. Even after we determined that the service I was looking for isn’t a service JES provides and I felt like I had wasted his time he remained professional and pleasant and assured me it was no trouble and he was happy to take a look around while he was here to see if there were any concerns that he could inform me about.Although I won’t be using this company for this project, I am pleased with experience and will definitely consider JES for future needs if they arise.(the service I was wanting: to have an egress window cut into the basement foundation)Update 12/7/22 – Bradley just called me and informed me that he found someone who may be able to help with the egress window. He definitely went above and beyond!

I moved into my home just over a year ago and have had three basement floodings. After trying to figure out the solution on my own, I gave JES a call. Best decision I ever made. The three young men who performed the basement waterproofing did an standing job for me. They were professional and courteous.

We had a lot of hills we had to climb and plans to change but the JES team did it. They started the project, ran into some issues, and had to rewrite the plans. I made a few calls and management came out and the project was back on. Joseph “Joe” Palotas, Certified Field Inspector, and Nick Feaster, Sales Manager, did an amazing job of making sure we could continue the repairs when we hit a wall. Neither Joe nor Nick are scared to get their hands dirty. Nick even came out and explained in detail what needed to be done and put on his boot and went to work helping. The crew, Michael Burrell, Steve Marshall, and Nick Feaster are very nice, polite young men. They did an excellent job getting everything done in an acceptable time manner. When the project was complete they took the time to explain everything to me in great detail. Very happy with the service JES provided.

The crew foreman, Rod, kept me informed of their arrival time. Upon arrival we covered the installation details and everything was laid out as planned. He and his crew (Keenan and Shaq) were very courteous. The work was executed very timely and the workmanship exceeded my expectations! Would certainly recommend this hard working crew!

We had a drain system installed by JES last week. The installation went well. Our foreman and crew were great and if they ran into any issues they let us know and gave us a solution. We haven't had a chance to test the system yet, but I will update once we have. Our sales person (Joe Palotas) went above and beyond! He walked us through everything on our initial meeting and made us feel comfortable with the direction we went. I would highly recommend requesting him.
