In Knoxville, Tennessee, a homeowner got in touch with Master Services due to concerns about their house's foundation settling on one side. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, mainly because of the clay soil, was causing this shift in the concrete base. The concrete slab supporting the house was sinking due to the natural shrinkage of the clay soil.
To prevent further issues, we suggested installing helical piers. These piers are specially designed to reinforce the foundation, especially effective in our local terrain. By using these helical piers, Master Services not only reassured the homeowner but also guaranteed the long-term stability and protection of their property.
In Knoxville, TN, a homeowner's porch had become a tripping hazard due to the concrete slab settling below the brick edge. Master Services addressed this issue by utilizing their PolyLevel® system, injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab to lift and stabilize it. This minimally invasive technique restored the porch to its original level, ensuring safety and preventing further settlement.
This Knoxville homeowner needed a fix for their damp, moldy, and drafty crawl space. Before the Master Services team began work, the space had standing water, mold, and poor air quality, and the homeowner was worried these conditions could cause structural damage over time.
Our team completely transformed the area by installing CleanSpace throughout the crawl space to protect it from moisture and the elements. To fix the drafts and improve comfort, we added SilverGlo insulation to seal cracks and openings. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier with a condensate pump to keep humidity at a level where mold cannot grow. Finally, a TripleSafe sump pump system was added for dependable water removal.
Now, this crawl space is clean, dry, and energy efficient, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a healthier home.
Our team was dispatched to evaluate a prominent commercial establishment in Knoxville, TN, seeking assistance in reinforcing its basement structure. After careful analysis, we recommended the implementation of our innovative Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps possess remarkable strength, rivaling that of steel, and boast the advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. Furthermore, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the premises. With the Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system in place, the basement of the business building in Knoxville, TN is now fortified against potential structural challenges.
Left unprotected, crawlspaces can become overrun with moisture, mold, mildew, rot, and pests. What's more, energy costs rise and radon builds. Residents may experience allergies, headaches, respiratory upset, and other ailments. A reliable vapor barrier system goes far in protecting against these threats!
