Master Services Before & After Photos

This driveway had a long, uneven crack running nearly to the road. We used a specialized polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize the concrete. As the foam expands beneath the surface, it fills voids and raises the slab back into place. The result? A safer, smoother, and better-looking driveway without the need for full replacement.

In Knoxville, Tennessee, the experienced team at Master Services undertook the task of improving a crawlspace that had previously been encapsulated. The initial encapsulation, carried out by the home builder using budget materials, had deteriorated over time, leading to tears and water accumulation. To address this issue, we chose the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, well-known for its durability and effectiveness. This system not only provides additional storage space but also effectively controls moisture, preventing the growth of mold.

Through the use of affordable helical piers, the foundation repair specialists at Master Services were able to alleviate uneven foundation setting problems as seen in the pictures here.  The pictures show how the exterior brick is pulling apart due to the settlement of one side of the home.  The helical piers were installed at set intervals along the side of the foundation that was settling. The piers were attached to the base of the foundation wall, and driven into the ground beneath the foundation, until they contacted strong supporting soils.  Once in contact with this stabilizing support, the piers bear the load of the settling wall or foundation, preventing further settlement or sinking.  The cracks are sometimes closed; but also sometimes simply prevented from further opening or widening.  

Taking care of the problem before it comes severe can save you money down the road. See a list of common causes of foundation damage here.

There was a large "stair step" crack along the brick fascade of this Knoxville, TN home. To fix it, the Master Services team drilled holes into the concrete slab of the porch.  Next, our high-density PolyLyft was injected into the holes. The polyurethane expanded to lift the concrete slab and seal the crack. 

Sidewalks can create tripping hazards due to soil erosion or drought. To fix this threat, Master Services injects holes along the concrete at strategically placed intervals. Next, the team injects these holes with PolyLyft, which expands and lifts the slab.
