Our team went to Sparta, TN, to tackle a home settlement issue. During the inspection, our home inspector discovered horizontal cracks in the basement wall. These cracks, along with problems like stuck doors and windows, are common signs of settlement due to shifting soils and moisture issues, which can affect both the stability and value of the home.
To address the problem, we installed Push Piers, which anchor into stable soil beneath the house to provide immediate support and often restore the home to its original level. Despite the tight working space (only 4-5 feet), our skilled crew managed the job by cutting a section of the cement footing. After installation, we backfilled the hole and cleaned up the area, leaving the site tidy and secure.
Master Services visited a resident in Allons, TN who had noticed that his driveway was sinking. To fix it, the team injected the slab with PolyLyft, our high-density polyurethane product.
Master Services recently addressed a concrete sidewalk issue in Allons, TN with prompt and effective intervention. Our experienced team swiftly identified the root cause as soil settling, a common occurrence associated with cement structures. Fortunately, we were able to provide a timely resolution by utilizing our advanced PolyLyft solution.
PolyLyft is a revolutionary product specifically designed to lift and level various surfaces, including sunken concrete slabs. The process involves injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area, delicately raising the sunken slab back to its original position. Unlike traditional approaches such as complete concrete replacement, PolyLyft offers a cost-effective and permanent solution to the problem at hand. By choosing PolyLyft, the homeowner not only saves time and money but also ensures a long-lasting remedy for their concrete sidewalk.
In Allons, TN, Master Services addressed the improvement of a crawlspace that had been previously encapsulated with inadequate thin plastic sheeting installed by the home builder. The insufficient installation led to the covering's deterioration, resulting in water pooling inside the area. Following a comprehensive inspection, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Vapor barrier, known for its durability and effectiveness in preventing water infiltration. This system not only decreases humidity levels in the crawlspace but also improves the overall air quality in the home. Additionally, we introduced our Sedona Dehumidifier and sealed off the air vents to isolate the crawlspace environment from the outside, ensuring consistent control of the humidity level year-round.
Master Services recently responded promptly to concerns about a front porch in Allons, TN. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the porch, a common issue caused by soil settling. We efficiently resolved the problem using four helical piers. These devices connect the cement footing to the solid ground beneath the house via steel brackets, with a unique shape designed to grip the clay-rich soil effectively. This solution allows for a quick fix that can be accomplished in a day.
