A homeowner in Knoxville, TN noticed their front porch sinking and shifting away from the house, leaving behind cracks and uneven concrete that only worsened with time. Concerned about both the appearance of their home and the safety of their entryway, they reached out to Master Services for help. Our team stabilized and lifted the porch using our durable polyurethane system, closing gaps and restoring the slab to its proper position. Now, the porch is level, secure, and protected against future settling.
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 Knoxville homeowner was struggling with a damp, messy crawl space filled with debris and failing insulation. The exposed walls and vents allowed moisture to seep in, leading to poor air quality and long-term concerns for the home’s structure.
Our team transformed the crawl space with a full CleanSpace® encapsulation system covering 1,130 square feet, ensuring a clean, sealed barrier against moisture. We removed old insulation and debris, then installed SilverGlo® insulation and rim joist insulation to improve energy efficiency. To keep humidity under control, we added a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier paired with a condensate pump. The space was further protected with sealed vents, wrapped piers, and an EverLast™ crawl space door, completing the encapsulation and providing long-term protection.
The result is a bright, dry, and healthy crawl space that will safeguard the home for years to come while boosting overall efficiency and comfort.
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.
This home’s front walkway had shifted and settled over time, creating uneven sections that posed a tripping hazard and affected curb appeal. Our crew used a polyurethane foam injection system to lift and stabilize the concrete, restoring both safety and appearance.
