Before & After

Lisa, a first-time homeowner in a charming cottage near Newport, TN, became increasingly concerned when a noticeable stair-step crack along one of her exterior walls began widening. She had recently inherited the home from her grandparents and was determined to preserve its condition. Adding to her worries, she noticed her windows were becoming harder to open and close, clear signs of potential structural issues. Realizing she needed professional assistance, Lisa turned to Master Services.
Our team quickly scheduled a visit, and our home inspector thoroughly evaluated the property. The culprit was clear—soil erosion beneath the foundation was causing the structure to settle unevenly. To resolve the issue and protect the home, we installed four helical piers. These robust supports anchor the foundation into stable soil layers, ensuring long-term stability. Additionally, our crew carefully raised the segment of the wall needing support, successfully closing most of the stair-step crack gap. The work was completed efficiently in just one day, leaving Lisa’s yard intact and disruption minimal.
Now with her foundation secure and the crack nearly invisible, Lisa feels a deep sense of relief knowing her grandparents’ cherished home is safe from further damage. She’s grateful to Master Services for their expertise and quick resolution, ensuring her family’s legacy stands strong for years to come.
If a crawlspace goes unencapsulated, it can cultivate mold, attract pests, and raise your energy bill. To keep all of those things from happening to this Whitesburg, TN crawlspace, the Master Services team installed our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier.
A crawlspace not far from Saint Charles, VA had a moisture problem. Our team recommended our SmartSump sump pump to help control rain and floodwater, as well as our CleanSpace vapor barrier to mitigate water vapor. We also installed our SaniDry dehumidifier, which keeps humidity from gathering inside the crawlspace.
A customer who lives close to Bybee, TN called the Master Services team regarding flooding in his garage. When it rained, the garage filled with water. Not only did this make the area nasty, it put the walls at risk of mold and damage. Our team installed our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to protect the walls from damage, as well as one of our sump pump systems.
Our team visited a home in Mohawk, TN to check out a wet crawlspace. We fortified it against flooding and related problems by installing our SmartSump sump pump system.
