Our team was sent to evaluate a residential basement in Rutledge, TN, which exhibited clear indications of structural instability caused by soil settling, necessitating additional support. To resolve this issue, our experts utilized our advanced foundation support system, known as EverBrace. This system combines steel corrugated panels and beams to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls. Moreover, rigid foam is injected to fill any gaps behind the steel panels, effectively transferring the load from the compromised structure to the new support panels. This solution offers a less disruptive alternative to complete foundation replacement.
A homeowner in Rutledge, TN contacted Master Services with concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior wall. Upon evaluating the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also guaranteed long-term stability and security for their property.
This Rutledge crawl space started with exposed soil and uncontrolled moisture, creating conditions that can lead to musty odors, poor air quality, and long term damage to the home. Without protection, crawl spaces like this allow ground moisture to rise and circulate into the living space above.
Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair transformed the space with a full CleanSpace encapsulation system, sealing the ground and preventing moisture intrusion. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to actively control humidity and maintain a dry, stable environment year round.
The result is a clean, bright crawl space that not only looks better but works to protect the home from the ground up. By combining proven systems with expert installation, Master provides a long term solution that improves air quality and helps ensure the home stays dry and healthy.
Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair can permanently correct foundation settlement problems with our foundation piers. Our foundation piers are so strong, that they can even be used in place of a conventional foundation in new construction! By drilling under the home down to stronger soils, Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair foundation piers are designed to transfer the load of your home to the more stable soils or potentially the bedrock deep beneath your home. A fine-tuning of the piers placed around the settled part of the foundation, will bring the house to level closing the visible cracks as in the photos shown here.

A homeowner in Sevierville, Tennessee was concerned about the damage that moisture can cause. His crawlspace was not sealed, making it vulnerable to mold, mildew, wood rot, and unwanted pests such as rodents, snakes, lizards, and insects. Our team at Master Services installed CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a mold and tear-resistant liner that protects the area and creates additional storage space.
