In Kingsport, TN, a residential property's front sidewalk had sunk due to changes in temperature and shifting soils that affected the moisture levels in the soil. Additionally, settling signs were evident on the driveway's side. To address this issue, Master Services employed the PolyLyft injection technique to raise the entire driveway. This method involves the use of PolyLyft, which expands and lifts the concrete, restoring the slab to its original position.
Our team at Master Services recently completed a crawlspace encapsulation in Kingsport, TN to safeguard against water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pest infestations. We chose to use the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, which is securely fastened to the basement walls with plastic fasteners that are carefully drilled in for maximum stability. Additionally, our home inspectors recommended the Sedona dehumidifier to effectively regulate moisture levels and prevent mold growth. These two systems work together to create an optimal environment in the crawlspace, ensuring moisture and mold are kept under control.
Master Services successfully waterproofed a residence's basement in Kingsport, TN. The basement was prone to frequent water flooding during rainfall, leading to mold growth on the bricks. To address this issue, our team installed a vapor barrier that covered the entire walls and implemented our WaterGuard® Drainage System, a cleverly designed canal that redirects water from the walls to the lowest point inside the basement. At this point, the water gets collected by our reliable sump pump system, efficiently removing water from the house and diverting it outside. This straightforward solution reduced clutter in the basement while simultaneously enhancing the overall air quality of the entire house.
In Kingsport, TN, a couple reached out to Master Services regarding concerns about "ladder cracks" on their home's exterior walls. After assessing the foundation, our team determined that soil subsidence was causing these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house was sinking due to the contraction of clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. If left unattended, this could compromise the overall structural integrity of the residence. To avert further deterioration, we advised the installation of helical piers, specifically engineered to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly in the local clay terrain. Through the implementation of these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also ensured enduring stability and protection for their property.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a significant bowed foundation wall problem in Kingsport, TN, which exhibited a sizable horizontal crack. This issue was mitigated using our I-Beam Wall Braces.
With the passage of time, the wall had developed cracks attributed to excess moisture from the external terrain. The homeowner was in search of a lasting solution for this spacious area and was particularly interested in reinforcing the garage walls.
Our installation of I-Beam Wall Braces stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil in its surroundings, thereby adding substantial support to the overall structural integrity of the house. The entire procedure was executed efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
