Tiger C Construction and Waterproofing company, a friendly father-son business with additional…read moreemployees, was absolutely fantastic for us. After a water main leak, our drain tile failed and our finished basement was ruined. Our house was sitting on inches of water under the foundation slab, which had no way to drain because of our dense clay dirt. On the outside, Tiger C excavated all the way down to the slab, put in a new drain tile, water-proofed the walls, re-worked our guttering, and buried it all back. This was all done without permanently removing our porch, deck, or HVAC. On the inside, they cut a trench in the concrete basement slab and installed a six inch drain line from the center of the house to the exterior. Once opened, hundreds of gallons of water gushed out for several hours. Tiger C was very hard-working, friendly, and courteous. They were conscientious of our property and our needs. Further, they warranted their work, giving us the confidence to rebuild the interior. I could not give Tiger C a stronger recommendation.

We had a $27k contract for JES to stabilize the foundation of our garage in Charlottesville and to…read moreaddress water that would seep into the basement during heavy rain events. The main work was done very well and professionally. The contract, however, also called for drilling a long hole into the end of a wall through multiple cinderblocks to drain the water intrusion that was getting specifically into the basement's stairwell wall. There was no other access point to the bottom cinderblocks of the stairway wall. It was a clever solution written into the contract, and the provision specifically stated that JES would bring a 36-48-inch masonry drill bit in order to drill a hole long enough to accomplish the goal. After the team completed the main work, we pointed out the need to finish the job by drilling this hole, but they did not have such a long bit with them. We then reached out many, many times over many months to get this hole drilled. Most often we were met with silence, but when we ultimately have gotten a response, the person would say, "Sorry, we will get that done." Twice, JES workers have actually shown up -- but without a long drill bit. They would then look at the situation and understand why the long drill bit was needed, say they would arrange for it to happen, and then radio silence. After we posted a longer version of the story as a review, apparently higher-up JES management people got involved and pretty quickly sent someone out with the right drill and bit to finish the contracted work. Presumably, some HR training has happened also and given that the job is now complete with the vast majority of it having been done well and in a timely manner -- I've now upwardly revised my rating.

BUYER BEWARE!! Misleading Sales Recommendations, Poor Communication, and No Follow-Up…read moreOn April 29, 2026, a JES representative named Zeke conducted our annual inspection of the encapsulation system that JES originally installed. During the inspection, he stated that our dehumidifier was "showing signs of failure" and strongly recommended replacing it. He initially quoted $4,125 for the replacement but quickly reduced the price to $3,500. When we asked what diagnostic data supported his recommendation and whether the unit could be repaired instead, we received no satisfactory answers. I contacted the dehumidifier manufacturer directly and learned that JES technicians should contact the manufacturer's technical support to diagnose error codes and troubleshoot the equipment. According to the manufacturer, no one from JES had contacted them regarding our unit. To verify the recommendation, we hired two independent crawlspace environmental companies to inspect the system. Both companies confirmed that the dehumidifier was operating properly and did not need replacement. Based on these independent inspections, we believe the recommended replacement was unnecessary and would have cost us $3,500 for equipment that did not need to be replaced. Concerned by these findings, I requested that a manager inspect the crawlspace and address our concerns. On May 15, 2026, JES manager JB Samuel visited our home and confirmed that the dehumidifier was working properly, validating that the original replacement recommendation was unnecessary. While he corrected one critical drain concern and added a bolt to the crawlspace door, he also identified additional concerns that had not been noted during the original inspection. It has now been 8 weeks since our original inspection and 6 weeks since the manager's visit, yet we have received NO FOLLOW UP regarding those issues. On June 11, 2026, I sent a certified letter to Dree Gooding, General Manager of the Ashland, VA location, detailing our concerns and requesting a written plan of action. JES has not responded to the letter or provided any resolution. Our experience has been extremely disappointing. We were given a costly replacement recommendation that multiple independent inspections determined was unnecessary. Even after a manager confirmed our dehumidifier was functioning properly, JES failed to communicate, follow through on the remaining issues, or respond to our certified correspondence. BUYER BEWARE!! Before approving expensive repairs or equipment replacements, make sure you get a independent second opinion. Based on our experience, JES did not stand behind its recommendations or provide the level of customer service and follow-up we expected.

Couldn't recommend Lux highly enough for their integrity, professionalism, and helpfulness!…read more 3 highly recommended waterproofers assessed our home, and two recommended excavation, etc at a cost of more than $10,000. Lux Foundation Solutions recommended one thing: replace the basement door. That's it. (And they don't even do doors!) What impressed me most was that Chuck Koach, Lux's Foundation Specialist, assessed things the others didn't. He checked the walls using a moisture meter, thoroughly examined existing interior drain and sump pump systems, inspected crawl spaces for water issues, and checked inside and out for foundation concerns. I can't recommend Lux Foundation Solutions highly enough for their thorough, honest assessment and excellent advice. Kudos to Chuck Koach and Lux Foundation Solutions!

Warning to Virginia Beach Neighbors Regarding JES Foundation Repair…read more I am a senior citizen living in the local area. Last year, I paid JES Foundation Repair $22,000 for their top-of-the-line crawlspace encapsulation and joist stabilization to ensure my newly purchased home was structurally sound. The inspector explicitly told me everything else was perfect and to ignore any future inspectors who suggested I needed more work. Fast forward to last week: a different JES inspector came out and found a foundation sag that they completely missed last year--and they handed me a bill for thousands more to fix it. When I tried to contact local management to resolve this clear oversight, they avoided my calls and have ignored my formal emails. Please be incredibly careful using this company, especially my fellow seniors. They do not stand behind their work once they have your money.

And just like the last time they came over, they provided an analysis and a thorough explanation about what the current state is, what I can do to keep things tight, and what I can expect if problems arise. Stable Foundations is one of those rare businesses that provides this service for free, and they do not try to sell services that are not needed. So even though I didn't need them, Zach assured me that they will continue to offer this service and talk to me as needed. I am confident that if I did have foundation problems, they would provide great results for a reasonable price, so I would highly recommend them for anyone who is concerned about their foundation.

Kavie Thrift at Stable Foundations is amazing. I sent an email to the general inbox one night, and…read morereceived a phone call from Kavie the very next morning. Without hesitation, he inspected the crawlspace that morning and provided a thoughtful evaluation of what needed to be done. Kavie provided a fair proposal to address the problem. But, as a testament to his honesty, he also disclosed that the problem may not need to be addressed at all if sufficient time has passed to indicate that the settling is complete. No pressure or sales tactics: just good, honest advice -- for which Kavie did not charge me a cent. I'm grateful that my inspector referred me to Stable Foundations as an honest and effective firm. Kavie is the first and last person I'll call when it comes time for a foundation repair. I highly recommend.
