A homeowner in Kodak, TN, recently discovered a sinking section of the sidewalk near her newly built home. Worried about the safety of her children, who often played outside, she noticed a 3-inch sink had formed, creating a potential tripping hazard. Concerned about further damage, she contacted Master Services for a solution.
Our team promptly scheduled a free inspection, and upon arrival, our home inspector explained that soil erosion from rainwater had likely caused the concrete to settle unevenly. This kind of issue, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious problems, so immediate action was necessary.
To resolve the situation, our crew recommended using PolyLyft, a fast-acting foam designed to stabilize and lift sunken concrete. They carefully drilled small holes in the affected area and injected the PolyLyft, which expanded and raised the sidewalk back to its original level.
Within minutes, the sidewalk was restored, eliminating the hazard. The homeowner was grateful for the quick, efficient service, knowing that her kids could play safely and that the repair would prevent further sinking.
A homeowner in Kodak, TN, contacted Master Services after spotting stair-step cracks forming at the corner near the main entrance of his red brick house. Concerned about potential structural issues, he scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors. During the inspection, it was determined that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature changes, was the main culprit.
We recommended installing two helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers reach stable soil deep underground to provide solid support, while minimizing disruption to the soil around the home. Once the installation was complete, the trenches were backfilled and leveled, restoring the area to its original state. The homeowner felt relieved to see the cracks close and had peace of mind knowing his home was now safe and secure for the years ahead.
We visited a home in Tazewell, TN to look at a compromised crawlspace. The owner not only reported an influx of moisture in the area, but said she could smell a musty odor from upstairs. With an asthmatic family member in the home, she needed a solution to the mold problem. Our team presented a comprehensive one! We recommended our TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and CleanSpace moisture barrier systems. With these in place, water has no chance of creating moldy conditions or damaging the home.
A homeowner in Tazewell, TN was worried about a section of their foundation settling and observed damage on the main floor as well as other anomalies in the area. Our inspection by Master Services concluded that the foundation required extra support. To resolve the problem, we suggested the use of our "Push Pier" system, which aims to permanently stabilize and even out the foundation.
