Master Services received a call from Chuckey, TN, where a homeowner was dealing with a sinking driveway pad and needed assistance in restoring its height and stabilizing the concrete to prevent further settling. This issue is commonly caused by water from rain seeping underneath the concrete and washing away the soil, along with the weight of the concrete causing settlement.
To address this problem, our team utilized PolyLyft. This involved drilling holes at strategic intervals along the slab and injecting them with high-density polyurethane. As the substance fills the voids beneath the slab, it lifts it to an even position, effectively restoring its height and stability.
In Chuckey, TN, Sarah, a devoted homeowner, grew increasingly concerned when she noticed deep cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement wall. Fearing the foundation might be compromised and eager to prevent further damage, she reached out to Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, assessing the structure and explaining that recent heavy rains had shifted the soil composition around her home, causing sections of the foundation to settle—an all-too-common issue in the region.
To address Sarah’s concerns and stabilize the foundation, we recommended installing several helical piers to prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the clear explanation and scheduled the installation without delay. In just one day, our crew set up the piers, and Sarah felt instant relief seeing the cracks close—a reassuring sign that her home was secure once more. With her foundation stabilized, she felt confident her home was safe for the future and grateful for Master Services’ quick and thorough work.
A homeowner near Limestone, TN reached out to the Master Services team about his moist, dank, unencapsulated crawlspace. The area had an encapsulation system, but it was old, torn, and providing little protection from water. The crawlspace was a mess! Our team got to work encapsulating it with our durable CleanSpace moisture barrier system, which deters mold, mildew, water, pests, and rot. We also installed our SilverGlo wall panel insulation system, which helps retain heat and improve energy savings.
A typical home in Limestone, TN suffered from visible exterior wall and window frame cracking, a telltale sign of foundation settling. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause, attributed to soil erosion from heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity. To remedy this, our team installed three helical piers strategically to anchor the home securely to stable ground. Installed with precision, these piers ensure the long-term stabilization of the house, providing stability for years to come!
In Limestone, TN, a spacious basement faced a common problem: sagging support beams and floor joists. Without proper intervention, the issue would persist and worsen over time. To address this, our team installed the reliable and robust SmartJacks system. These components were meticulously assembled and connected to the girder, offering essential support to the weakened elements. The SmartJacks can be easily tightened for additional support if necessary. Remarkably, this solution caused minimal disruption to the existing cement floor, thanks to our pre-cast concrete base.
