Before & After

Over time, concrete slabs can shift and sink due to soil erosion, moisture changes, or natural settling beneath the surface. That’s exactly what happened here: the sidewalk began to dip and separate, leaving behind a visible gap and an uneven walking surface. Not only did this affect curb appeal, but it also created a tripping hazard. Master Services corrected the issue by injecting our strong, lightweight polyurethane material beneath the slab, gently lifting it back into place and stabilizing the soil underneath. Now, the sidewalk is level, secure, and protected against future shifting.
Master Services recently assisted a homeowner in Kingsport, TN, who was dealing with frequent water intrusion in their crawlspace, causing mold to develop on the wooden joists. To resolve the problem, our team installed a full-wall vapor barrier and our WaterGuard® Drainage System. This innovative system channels water from the walls to the crawlspace's lowest point, where our efficient sump pump system collects and expels the water outside. This effective solution not only reduced crawlspace clutter but also significantly improved the home's overall air quality.
A homeowner in Kingsport, TN first noticed a persistent musty odor and dampness seeping into their living space. Concerned, they took a closer look under the house and found frequent water intrusion in the crawlspace, which had led to mold growth on the wooden joists. To address the issue, Master Services began by sealing all vents to isolate the crawlspace. The team then installed drainage matting, followed by a full-wall vapor barrier and the WaterGuard® Drainage System. This innovative setup channels water from the walls to the crawlspace’s lowest point, where an efficient sump pump system collects and carries the water safely outside.
The Telford, TN home was visited by the Master Services team, who observed evident "ladder cracks" on the garage walls. After a thorough inspection, it was discovered that the foundation's East side was sinking due to soil settling. Prompt action was necessary to prevent compromising the foundation's stability.
To rectify the situation, our team employed helical piers that are specifically designed for the Tennessee terrain. These piers not only reinforce the foundation but also ensure long-term stability without significant disruption to the yard.
The Master Services team headed to Clintwood, VA to install our CleanSpace vapor barrier system. This system is mold and mildew resistant and protects against humidity.
