"I was concerned about moisture in my basement and decided to utilized Managed Service Group for a second opinion. Scott, the contractor, was upfront, honest, and told me what the problem was. He did not come out with 10 plus men to rip out my basement like JES Foundation Company wanted to do. Thank you Scott for saving me thousands of dollars. I will definitely use and recommend this company to others."
"They rep advised a lot to waterproof the crawlspace at a very large amount$$$$$ And made it sound as if the foundation was crumbling and in disrepair I had a contractor friend also look and came up with a better priced solution and would alleviate the water from even entering the crawlspace or walkout basement area That way I would not need the overkill of waterproofing the crawl but keeping the water from entering the area in the first place"
"JES Foundation Repair did a tremendously wonderful job in waterproofing our basement and installing basement gutters. Nick, James, Jaiden, Jaquan, and Tomarra were very conscientious and considerate. Very skilled and understanding. A+plus plus!!!"

"He was very helpful. The issue with the vent was not that it was dirty but, the cent is too long. He came over and went under the house and in the basement to figure out the problem. He let us know we should cut an access panel in the deck to make sure the vent is clean and set up properly."

If a crawl space isn’t vented, there can be moisture buildup, which can lead to mold damage, easily destroying the foundation of your home. A closed-off crawl space can trap heat, which can be useful in the winter, but can also trap dangerous gases and prevent clean air from entering the home through the floorboards.
Yes, engineers assess soil load-bearing capacity and provide construction guidelines.
Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:
Using dehumidifiers
Silicate concrete sealers
Vapor barriers
Baseboard channels
Drain tile systems
Waterproofing paint
Drainage systems
Epoxy injection
Interior French drains
Exterior excavation and waterproofing
Cement waterproofing
Weep tiles
Liquid membrane
Sheet membrane
Yard grading
Gutters and downspouts
If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.
