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, 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.

You can’t be cheap when it comes to foundation repairs. JES is expensive, but you have access to knowledgeable engineers and consultants (Andrew Sean Wheeler), and their crews are quick and competent (foreman Jaime Castillo and Joel and Erick). If you live near the Potomac and have issues with marine clay, go straight to JES.

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 JES repair one side of our sinking foundation years ago and they did a fantastic job. When we recently saw wall cracks on the opposite side of the house, we immediately called them. They are incredibly responsive and so trustworthy. Jay came out, did a thorough inspection, and explained that we had a door problem, not a foundation problem. He also confirmed that JES’s years old fix our our foundation is perfect. We are so relieved to have the piece of mind that JES provides and appreciated Jay’s professionalism, comprehensiveness, and the fact that he went above and beyond (he even did a temporary fix for my door!).

Andre McDuffie is awesome! I thought I might need a new sump pump because I thought the one I had wasn’t working. Andre went into my crawl space and checked both sump pumps and found that they were both working! I would highly recommend him and will request that he come out if I have any trouble in the future.

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!

Hired JES to stabilize our sinking foundation after a very positive site survey with field engineer Skylar Wilson. He explained the repair process and guarantee very well and worked with us to develop a logical repair plan. Once the job was scheduled and that date arrived, the install crew of Jaime Castillo, Joel Larios, and Cesar Zafra came and immediately went to work. They were very organized and performed in a very efficient manner. They were patient and provided excellent feedback for my questions of this fascinating process. They maintained a very clean and neat working environment. Skylar: thanks for giving us a great customer experience. Jaime, Joel, Cesar: ¡Eres increíble! ¡Buen trabajo!

Mr. Rudy Gonzale, Superintendant at the JES in Bristow, VA, came to our rescue when my husband and I called about a foundation water problem. Rudy showed up in a very timely manner. He was very polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. He explained things in a way in which we could understand what was going on with the issue we were experiencing. Rudy listened to and understood our concerns and in a very professional manner he demonstrated empathy and assurance that everything will be alright. Even though my husband and I had never met Rudy before we felt he treated us like he would a family member. Rudy was a blessing to us. He was true to his word that "Everything would be alright". I highly recommend Rudy and his team who assisted us in resolving our problem. We could go on and on about Rudy with the highest accolades because the words Thank You to Rudy doesn't seem adequate.

I contracted with JES to have my Foundation repaired a Sump Pump and a full basement Dehumidifier installed. The onsite foreman Mr. Jaime Castillo was timely with keeping to the set work schedule JES provided. The work crew, Mr. Noel Larios, Mr. Erik Morales and Mr. Antonio Canales show strong work ethic in preforming their duties. Mr. Castillo explained each step of the job in layman’s terms as they worked. I myself have the habit of asking the same questions repeatedly and the foreman Mr. Castillo would take his time and re-explain the task as they worked. Mr. Canales was also knowledgeable with helping me understand the Sump Pump drainage process.The clean up was excellent paying attention to every detail.
