Master Services Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Knoxville, TN contacted us seeking help with waterproofing their basement to halt the ongoing mold growth on the walls. Visible signs of mold were already evident at the base of the staircase and around the floor's perimeter. Following a comprehensive assessment, we proposed the implementation of a water collection and redirection system. Our perimeter water guard drainage system excels at efficiently collecting and diverting water away from the basement, effectively controlling water infiltration. To enhance protection, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump, offering three layers of safeguarding. These combined solutions have now ensured the homeowner's basement is well-guarded against water-related problems and the potential development of mold.

This stucco wall in Knoxville, TN cracked due to foundation failure, resulting in "stair step cracks." To repair it, Master Services installed Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. To do this, the team screwed steel piers deep into the soil below the home. The piers are strategically placed around the home and in the earth with a steel foundation bracket which connects the piers to the home's footing. These piers and brackets will hold the weight of the home securely due to the more resilient soil or bedrock deeper in the ground. While it can be difficult to close the cracks perfectly in a case like this, the team was able to restore this wall easily and cleanly. 

A Knoxville homeowner contacted us after noticing sagging floors and concerns about structural support in their crawl space. Our inspection revealed that the space was relying on aging concrete block piers with no supplemental reinforcement. To restore safety and stability, we installed our SmartJack® system — giving the home the structural support it needs from the ground up. The crawl space featured basic concrete block supports with no adjustable reinforcement. Sagging ductwork and signs of settling floors were beginning to affect the home above. SmartJack® support posts were installed throughout the crawl space to lift and stabilize weakened areas. This permanent solution protects against future settling and ensures the home is safely supported for years to come.

Plate anchor wall systems provide an alternative method to the expensive and disruptive task of rebuilding or replacing damaged foundation walls.  Our wall anchor system reaches well away from the foundation to use the stability of the soil as an anchor preventing further bowing of the inside wall.  Learn more about these Wall Anchor products and get a free quote here.

This driveway was cracking. When there's too much rain, it can wash away the soil under concrete. Too little rain, and the clay-based soil will contract and shrink. Both of these extremes can lead to cracked, uneven pavement. To fix the problem, Master Services leveled the concrete slab by injecting it with PolyLyft.
