Master Services recently addressed a settling foundation at a red brick home in Mt. Carmel, TN. We dug alongside the exterior wall at the exact spot where visible cracks indicated the structure was beginning to shift. Our team installed three Helical Piers in the clay-rich soil beneath the compromised area, effectively anchoring the home to more stable ground. These specialized piers feature plates that help pull them into the soil during installation and provide critical anchoring strength as the weight of the house is transferred to each pier. Thanks to this timely intervention, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is once again secure.
Symptoms of an unhealthy crawlspace include mold, rotten joists, strange odors, and allergy/asthma problems for residents. Encapsulation is always recommended to eliminate these problems, which is what Master Services did for this home in Fall Branch, TN.
Our team at Master Services responded to a call from a residence in Fall Branch, TN, which was experiencing settling issues due to clay soil. Upon inspection, it was apparent that the structure needed prompt attention to prevent any compromise to its stability. To address this issue, we decided to install helical piers, which are ideally suited for the Tennessee terrain. These piers significantly reinforce the foundation and provide enduring stability without causing much disruption to the outside yard.
Master Services received a call regarding a foundation wall issue in Fall Branch, TN. Our inspection revealed a noticeable horizontal crack, a clear sign of hydrostatic pressure and an urgent concern.
Upon careful evaluation, we opted to use our Wall Braces system, a cost-effective and minimally disruptive solution compared to rebuilding or replacing the compromised foundation walls. This system employs the main support beam's force to prevent further bowing of the wall within the foundation. The homeowner was pleased with the results, particularly appreciating the minimal disruption to their yard during the process.
A customer in Chuckey, TN had only been in the home for six months, but already noticed a problem in her basement. She detected a musty smell and noticed that water worked its way inside the area, usually after substantial rains. She wanted to use the basement as a storage area, but first needed it fortified against water. Our team installed several systems, including our TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier.
