The Master Services team recently visited a lovely home in Sevierville, TN, owned by Mark, a meticulous and detail-oriented retiree. Mark had recently moved into the property and quickly noticed concerning cracks in one of the structural walls. Knowing the area was prone to heavy rains, he suspected the damage was due to hydrostatic pressure and wanted to address the issue before it worsened.
Our team arrived to assess the situation and determined that hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil was indeed compromising the wall's stability. To resolve the issue, we installed five of our reliable wall plate anchors. This innovative solution uses the stability of the surrounding soil to reinforce and secure the damaged wall, preventing further movement or structural risks.
Mark was impressed with our team's efficiency and professionalism throughout the process. Seeing his wall stabilized and his home safe brought him immense relief, and he expressed gratitude for the peace of mind Master Services provided.
When this Sevierville homeowner noticed significant cracking and separation in their exterior concrete walkway, they contacted Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for a professional evaluation. The slab had settled over time due to shifting and eroding soils beneath the surface, creating a visible crack and uneven sections that not only affected the appearance of the home but also posed a potential trip hazard. In East Tennessee, changing moisture conditions and soil movement commonly cause exterior concrete to sink or crack when the ground beneath it loses its ability to properly support the slab.
To restore the walkway without the disruption of full replacement, our expert team utilized our PolyLYFT™ concrete leveling system. This advanced polyurethane injection solution is designed to lift and stabilize settled concrete by filling voids beneath the slab and expanding to raise it back toward its original position. PolyLYFT™ is lightweight, durable, and cures quickly, allowing the concrete to be used again in a short period of time. By addressing the unstable soil conditions below, this system provides long term stabilization while avoiding the cost and mess of tearing out and repouring the concrete.
After lifting and stabilizing the slab, we sealed the visible crack using NexusPro® Joint and Crack Sealant. NexusPro® is specifically designed to remain flexible, allowing it to expand and contract with temperature changes while preventing water intrusion. Sealing cracks is an important step in protecting concrete surfaces, as water penetration can accelerate soil washout and lead to further settlement over time.
The result is a safer, more uniform walkway that enhances both the appearance and structural stability of the home’s exterior. At Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, our team specializes in permanent concrete repair solutions that restore safety, improve curb appeal, and protect your investment from the ground up.

The entire procedure was executed efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
The crawlspace in Pigeon Forge, TN, faced persistent water issues, affecting air quality and floor stability. Seeking a permanent fix for cold floors and water disruption, the homeowner contacted Master Services.
Our solution involved installing a comprehensive Clean Space system alongside our Sedona dehumidifier to regulate humidity. An easy flow system was set up around the crawlspace perimeter, collecting water internally and directing it to the sump pump. The pump then efficiently discharged the water away from the home, as shown in the post-installation photo, ensuring a clean and dry environment.
The homeowner was delighted with the results, achieving the dry, stable, and improved air quality they desired.
