In Kodak, Tennessee, a crawlspace had an all too common issue of beams and floor joists sagging. If left unaddressed, this problem could worsen and cause even more harm. To resolve the issue, we utilized our dependable SmartJacks system, which offers reinforcement to the weakened areas and can be fine-tuned for extra support as required.
A homeowner in Kodak, TN reached out to Master Services for assistance with unstable floors. They had previously tried to address the issue by adding wooden columns, but these supports proved inadequate due to mold and soil settling. Upon inspection, our team discovered that the root cause was the poor quality of the support wood beams. To effectively resolve this problem, Master Services implemented our trusted Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are designed to offer durable support for sagging floors, providing a long-term solution for weakened crawlspace beams.
The Master Services team in Kodak, TN took measures to secure a crawlspace, preventing water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pest intrusion. Upon inspection, our team observed debris and clear indications of mold in the area.
To fortify the space and create a barrier from external elements, we used the durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier. Fastened with plastic supports, this system was installed on the basement walls for long-term stability. Additionally, our experts recommended deploying the Sedona dehumidifier to regulate moisture levels and hinder mold formation. These integrated systems effectively establish an optimal environment in the crawlspace, managing moisture and thwarting mold growth.
A log cabin in Kodak, TN, encountered stability issues with its wooden crawlspace. The wood posts and concrete columns were no longer effectively supporting the sagging living room and kitchen floors of the cabin. High moisture levels in the crawlspace were dampening the wood beams, worsening the problem of sinking floors. Master Services intervened to address the issue by introducing our trusted SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home even within the constraints of a tight space.
A typical home in Kodak, TN suffered from visible exterior wall and window frame cracking, a telltale sign of foundation settling. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause: soil erosion from heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity. To remedy this, our team strategically installed three helical piers to anchor the home securely to stable ground. To dig through the hardened, clay-rich soil, our crew had to use water to soften the terrain before starting the excavation. Installed with precision, these piers ensure the long-term stabilization of the house, providing stability for years to come!
