The Master Services installation team successfully addressed a bowed retaining wall in Limestone, TN, using several Wall Plate Anchors. The large horizontal crack on the exterior wall was caused by prolonged exposure to excessive moisture due to hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain.
By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the team effectively stabilized the wall by securely connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing crucial reinforcement to the entire structure of the house. This procedure was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
In Limestone, TN, the Williams family noticed a persistent issue in the crawlspace beneath their home: the support beams and floor joists were starting to sag. Concerned that the problem would only get worse, they reached out for a permanent solution. Our team recommended installing a couple of SmartJacks—robust steel supports designed to stabilize and level weakened structures.
Working carefully in the crawlspace, we positioned each SmartJack on top of a sturdy, pre-cast concrete base that minimized disruption to the existing cement floor. Once assembled and securely connected to the main girder, each SmartJack could be tightened as needed to provide ongoing support. Thanks to this reliable system, the Williams family can rest easy knowing that their crawlspace and the floors above it now have a strong, long-lasting foundation.
The Master Services team visited a church near Dungannon, VA to waterproof the basement. Water made its way inside during heavy rains, and humidity settled on sensitive spots like drywall, insulation, and other surfaces. To prevent this, we installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier, which shields foundation walls from water vapor.
Master Services visited a church in Coeburn, VA that had a basement that flooded during heavy rains. To fix the problem, we installed several waterproofing measures, including a ThermalDry wall system to keep moisture from collecting on the walls and creating mold, mildew, and damage.
Due to settlement, moisture, and wood rot, wooden support beams and joists tend to sag. This impacts the upper levels in a home, leading to sloping or sagging floors, stuck doors and windows, cracks, and other problems. To fix this crawlspace near Saint Paul, VA, Master Services installed our crawlspace support jacks, which bolster sagging areas to provide long-term support.
