Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Northern Virginia

There are numerous advantages to having an encapsulated crawl space for homeowners in Northern Virginia. Crawl space encapsulation is a permanent solution to protect your crawl space from rainwater and other elements. Washington, DC, has deep, well-drained soil, as opposed to the silty loam and expansive clay soil found in Northern Virginia. Year-round rain is common in Northern Virginia, making for a very wet environment. This makes protecting and encapsulating your home’s crawl space very important. JES Foundation Repair can provide you with permanent crawl space encapsulation, as well as other solutions you may need to protect your crawl space. 

Crawl Space Problem Signs in Northern Virginia

It’s critical to be aware of potential problem signs when inspecting the crawl space of your Northern Virginia home. Mold growth, pest infestations, and a buildup of humidity are all signs that your crawl space has been damaged by water. It will save you time and money in the long run if you know the signs of damage to your crawl space. Ignoring the obvious signs of crawl space damage can lead to additional problems that can cost you more than you intended to spend.

Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Northern Virginia

A wide range of factors can cause crawl space damage. Many crawl space problems are caused by the combination of expansive clay and silty loam soil and frequent wet weather in the area, which causes water pressure to press against your crawl space. As a result, water seeps into your basement or crawl space. Some of the other causes, such as an ineffective vapor barrier, are more of a wear-and-tear concern. Your crawl space’s foundation may shift if water collects inside or if the earth shifts due to the unique soil in Northern Virginia.

Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation Solutions in Northern Virginia

Crawl space repair issues can be solved permanently with the help of JES. A crawl space dehumidifier or a full vapor barrier reduces humidity levels in the area. Because of the hot, humid summers and cold, wet winters, the climate in Northern Virginia necessitates appropriate solutions to ensure that the problem is fixed correctly the first time. Contact us today for more information about our crawl space repair and encapsulation services.

Jaime Castillo (foreman), and Antonio Canales were absolutely AMAZING! They stayed in communication with us throughout the process, and made sure that everything was up to par. I highly recommend this crew! They are courteous, kind, and cleaned up well after they finished. This team came in after a previous team made a hot mess the week prior. The concern they showed was amazing. Give this team a raise!

I posted a complaint about 4 months ago regarding an issue I was having with the system installed by JES a few years ago. I want to provide an update. The JES team of Rick, Matt, Dalton, Davonte, and especially JR, we're excellent in resolving the issue. They effectively evaluated the situation, took ownership of the problem, and quickly established a plan to remedy the situation. They were efficient in executing their plan and I am beyond satified with the end results. Everyone exemplified professionalism, were courteous, and respectful. JR's follow up was on point and I am so glad that he was spearheading the effort. Thank you JES. You definitely exceeded my expectations.

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.

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.

The JES crew of Manny Guzman, Jose Crus, and Antonio Canales did a fantastic job making a structural repair to our half cellar. They delivered exactly what was promised and what we needed to shore up our foundation. They were very polite and professional, did a great job cleaning up afterwards every day, and the foreman Manny was great at communicating plans and progress.

I wanted to give a shout out to one of JES's Technicians that serviced my home today. Idriss Kamara is by far one of the best technicians I have ever encountered in over 30 years of home ownership. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to fully asses the problem. His dedication to providing superior customer service is unmatched. I can tell he truly cares about his job and the customers he services. I will continue to rely on JES Foundations and Idriss Kamara's expert advice for all my foundation needs. Thank you again Idriss for taking such great care of me today and fully addressing the issue.

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.
