Foundation Repair in Northern Virginia


Your home’s foundation serves as the backbone, supporting not only the structure but everything it encompasses, including your family. It’s essential to remain vigilant for signs like wall cracks and sinking foundations, as these are clear indicators of potential problems. Ignoring them won’t make them disappear – foundation issues tend to worsen over time, posing a potential threat to your home and family.

Yet, there’s no need for panic. Our team of seasoned professionals at JES Foundation Repair is equipped to provide a comprehensive foundation assessment and reliable long-term solutions. We’re dedicated to ensuring the security of homes across Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia, helping restore your foundation’s integrity and put your mind at ease.

Foundation Problem Signs in Northern Virginia

Numerous problem signs with the foundation of your home in Washington, DC, or Northern Virginia may arise over time. Basement wall cracks and bowing basement walls are indicators that the foundation of your home is giving way to hydrostatic pressure. You’ll notice drywall cracks, drywall nail pops, and sticking doors and windows if your foundation is settling. Additionally, uneven floors and leaning chimneys are further warning signs to be aware of. Contact our foundation repair specialists for a free inspection and repair estimate as soon as you notice any of these problems to prevent them from getting worse.

Causes of Foundation Damage in Northern Virginia


While it’s true that poor construction can lead to foundation issues, the most prevalent causes of foundation damage usually stem from the soil on which your home stands. The soil variety throughout the Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia region is vast, comprising silt loam, clay, and sandy loam. Each soil type interacts differently with the environment and structural foundations.

  • Silt Loam: This type of soil has a silky texture when moist and is often rich in nutrients. However, it is prone to compaction and may lack proper drainage, leading to water retention that can exert pressure on your home’s foundation.
  • Clay: This dense soil type is notorious for its high water retention ability. The retained water can cause the clay to expand, resulting in increased hydrostatic pressure on your foundation. This pressure can cause cracking and bowing of foundation walls over time.
  • Sandy Loam: On the contrary, sandy loam soils are well-drained. This means they do not retain much water, which can be beneficial for the stability of your foundation. However, they are also prone to shifting, which could potentially lead to uneven settling.

It’s crucial to understand that your home’s foundation integrity is not entirely dependent on the soil type. Other factors like the terrain, climate, and proper construction techniques also play a significant role. Nonetheless, soil type is a key variable in predicting potential foundation issues, and understanding your soil can help mitigate future problems.

Foundation Repair Solutions in Northern Virginia

No two homes or foundations in Northern Virginia are identical, and each will require its own personalized set of repairs. We take pride in providing a diverse array of made-in-America solutions, each backed by a national, long-term, transferrable warranty. Here’s a brief rundown of the potential solutions that your JES inspector might recommend after a free foundation inspection:

  1. Settling Issues: If your home’s foundation is settling, or sinking into the ground, our experts might suggest the use of helical piers, push piers, or slab piers. These are types of foundation supports that are installed in the ground to bear the weight of your home, helping to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation back to its original position.
  2. Cracking and Bowing Walls: If the walls of your home are cracking or bowing inward, it’s usually a sign of excessive pressure from the surrounding soil. In these cases, our specialists might recommend wall anchors or wall repair beams to provide lateral support. Alternatively, they might suggest carbon fiber reinforcing straps, which are strong and thin materials adhered to the wall to prevent further bowing and cracking.
  3. Sagging Floors and Floor Joists: If the floors in your home are sagging or bouncing, or if you’ve noticed that your floor joists in the crawl space are weakening or failing, the solution could be crawl space support posts. These are adjustable steel posts installed in the crawl space underneath your home to provide extra support and help restore sagging floor joists to their original position.

Each of these solutions addresses a specific problem related to foundation issues. The suitable solution for your home will depend on the type of foundation problem you’re experiencing, the severity of the issue, and the specific conditions of your home and property. That’s why our free foundation inspection is so important—it allows us to tailor the right solution to your home’s unique needs.

The entire JES team needs to be commended — Rafael Garcia, Jose Lovato, and Wilton Mendoza — the very fine crew — arrived on time and ready to do the work; they worked efficiently, effectively, and knowledgeably as a well-oiled team and "machine." They informed us of each step along the way and explained everything thoroughly and completely. They used pictures from their phones to help explain the process and what they were doing. After they finished their work, they cleaned up the work area, gave us all the written information we needed, explained everything — they were so informative, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, WARM and FRIENDLY! It's so nice to work with friendly, happy, smiling people! What an amazing staff — Ally at the office — thank you for answering our questions, being so efficient, providing assistance, and being so warm and friendly, too.
