"I hired JES to install a trench and sump system into the basement of a new house I purchased. After the job was completed, I noticed the cellar stairwell was pooling water. They returned and said that they didn't think that the drain was run direct to the sump as it should have been but they needed to open the concrete to verify. I also asked why there was no water in the sumps. They ran tests with water for 2 hours and didn't see water and tried to explain to me that it was expected since the water was running out around the drainage under the foundation. They even had a supervisor try to explain to me over the phone when I questioned it. It took them several weeks to return to fix the cellar drain and sure enough, the pipe was just run to under the foundation and not directed into the trench/sump. A repair team came out and busted up the concrete to correct it. In doing so, they saw that their trench was also not connected to the sumps at all, which is why I never saw water in the sumps and not the mysterious theory they tried to convince me of weeks prior. This is terrible that there is no inspection of work prior to covering it totally with concrete. Or further, there was no physical test of running water in the system to verify the sump works. The repair team that came out were wonderful and did everything correct. After this, I called 3 times and asked for a manager to call me to discuss this and never received a response. The salesman stopped answering my calls. As a note, after spending $30K on this upgrade to my house, it was in worse risk than prior to JES so if you choose them, be careful."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Lewes homes with historic construction, pier-and-beam foundations, or multi-level layouts often require specialized repair strategies due to sandy soils and tidal influences. Crawl spaces, attached garages, or proximity to septic systems can limit access for equipment. If your property is in a flood-prone area, additional waterproofing or permitting steps may be necessary. Consulting a Lewes-based foundation specialist ensures your repair plan addresses these unique coastal challenges.

Helpful?

In Lewes, you can help protect your foundation by inspecting crawl spaces for dampness after heavy rain, checking for pooling water near your slab or piers, and trimming landscaping to keep roots away from the foundation. Mark any new cracks with tape and note the date, so you can track changes. Avoid DIY repairs, as Lewes’ coastal soil and high water table require professional assessment for lasting solutions.

Helpful?

Coordinating foundation repair in Lewes with upgrades like basement waterproofing, sump pump installation, or flood vent additions can maximize efficiency and reduce future disruptions. If you’re planning major renovations or septic system work, combining projects can streamline excavation and inspections. Scheduling these improvements together—ideally outside hurricane season—helps protect your home from water intrusion and supports long-term structural stability in Lewes’ coastal environment.

Helpful?

In Lewes, symptoms like stair-step cracks in brickwork, uneven floors, or windows that suddenly stick often signal foundation issues. If you notice salt-like residue or persistent dampness on basement walls, moisture control or drainage improvements may be needed instead. Storm-related damage might require a general contractor, while gradual changes point toward foundation repair. When unsure, consult a local structural expert for a precise diagnosis.

Helpful?

In Lewes, foundation repair may impact plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems—especially in homes with crawl spaces or slab foundations. Shifting can strain water or sewer lines, and repairs might require rerouting ductwork or temporarily disconnecting utilities. If your home has a sump pump, it may need inspection or adjustment. A thorough pre-repair evaluation helps anticipate and minimize disruptions to your home’s critical systems.
