JES Foundation Repair (JES), A Groundworks Company, specializes in helping homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs. Our top priority is providing high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service across Virginia and Maryland. With fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, JES is here to restore your foundation or crawlspace.
"JES left my home in worse shape and will not return my calls to come repair the damage left. I reached out to them to install a joist support system under my kitchen so that I can renovate this year. There were floor joists under the back door that had been cut during a renovation about 30 years ago. JES installed a jack system but then left my foundation under the door where you can literally see daylight from the basement. I brought this up to the crew before they left late Friday night (they worked long hours just to ?finish? without even asking me if it was okay to trap me at home that late), and the lead just shrugged at me. Shortly after they left, it rained, and sure enough, water poured into my electrical room and all over the freshly poured concrete. I called Friday night, sent an email and text with videos, and called today 3 times. Each time the ?production manager? is ?busy.? Before this, they were perfectly capable of blowing up my phone to see if I could schedule sooner."

"Our inspector, Mike Mele, was wonderful. From start to finish, he not only was very professional and polite, but he did an amazing job of telling us our problems (pretty major) without fear mongering us into upsales. He told us our problem, recommended a solution, gave us a very reasonable price to said solution, and then constructed us a payment plan process that won't hurt our pockets and will ease our stress. Thank you so so much! Im freaking amazed and grateful as hell. "

"We had a fantastic experience with JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care, from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of service exceeded our expectations. Kevin and his uncle came out to plant 20 emerald green arborvitae trees along our driveway. They dug all the holes by hand, demonstrating incredible effort and precision. They even moved the excess dirt into a neat pile exactly where we requested. Once the job was done, they thoroughly cleaned up and even blew the driveway free of debris. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!"

"They did an excellent job of waterproofing our foundation, burying downspouts, and replacing a patio to guarantee drainage away from the house. Most of our interaction was with the crew foreman. He spoke good English, showed attention to detail, and did a careful, professional job even when the weather got so hot we found ourselves urging the crew to take more breaks. They were not the cheapest bid, but worth it for the skilled workmanship. This is the second project we have hired them to do, and I would recommend them for any work where drainage is important."

Industry experts typically recommend having your foundation professionally evaluated every one to three years, complemented by personal visual checks twice yearly. If you notice potential warning signs like widening cracks, door alignment issues, or unusual moisture patterns, schedule a professional assessment right away, regardless of your regular inspection timeline. Maintaining this schedule helps identify developing problems before they require extensive repairs.
Be vigilant for wall or floor cracks (particularly those wider than 1/8 inch), doors that suddenly stick or won't close properly, noticeable floor slopes, and gaps appearing between walls and ceilings. External indicators include water pooling near your foundation after rainfall and visible shifts in foundation walls. These symptoms often signal foundation movement that should be professionally evaluated to prevent escalating damage.
Standard insurance policies typically classify routine foundation inspections as preventative maintenance rather than covered services. However, if your foundation sustains damage from a covered incident like a plumbing failure, your policy might include assessment costs within the claim. Review your specific coverage details and maintain thorough documentation of any foundation issues to support potential claims for qualifying events.
Search for professionals with relevant structural engineering credentials or specialized foundation inspection experience. Verify their licensing status, insurance coverage, and client references before scheduling service. Ask detailed questions about their experience with your specific foundation type and what their inspection process entails. Obtaining multiple estimates allows you to compare both qualifications and pricing to select the most appropriate professional for your specific foundation concerns.
