In Dayton, TN, a home experienced foundation settlement, a common issue when the ground beneath shifts or erodes. To address this, we installed helical piers, which are akin to large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. Given the presence of red clay soil, we strategically drilled holes and installed the helical piers. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, keeping the house secure for years to come.
A homeowner in Dayton, TN contacted us for assistance with water infiltration in their basement. After a thorough inspection, we determined that installing a WaterGuard perimeter and a sump pump system was essential to maintain a consistently dry basement. To further protect the homeowner, we also installed three SmartJack systems, which provide immediate support to the weakened floor and are a popular choice for long-lasting solutions.
The installation team from Master Services effectively tackled a tipping foundation wall issue in Dayton, TN, using a combination of Wall Plate Anchors and Geo Locks. Over time, excessive moisture from nearby terrain caused the front wall to move forward, a phenomenon known as hydrostatic pressure. Recognizing the need for a permanent solution, the homeowner aimed to convert the area into additional living space. By deploying Wall Plate Anchors, the team stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, enhancing the overall structural integrity of the house. The installation process was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
Emily, a hardworking nurse and single mother in Dayton, TN, was increasingly concerned about her home's stability after noticing alarming dips in the living room floor. With two young children often playing indoors, she worried about their safety and the long-term integrity of her house. Determined to address the issue before it worsened, Emily reached out to Master Services for help.
Our home inspector promptly assessed the property and found that weakened beams in the crawlspace were the culprit. Understanding Emily’s concerns, we recommended a solution tailored to restore her home’s stability. Without hesitation, Emily scheduled the repair.
Our skilled crew installed five SmartJacks at key points beneath the crawlspace, reinforcing the structure and leveling the floor. By the end of the day, the living room was secure, and Emily felt a wave of relief knowing her home was safe for her children. She expressed gratitude for the team's professionalism and efficiency, confident that her home was now built to last.
This Dayton, TN homeowner contacted Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair after noticing signs of high humidity and musty odors coming from their crawl space. The existing plastic liner was thin, poorly sealed, and covered in dirt and moisture, leaving the home vulnerable to mold and air quality issues.
Our team thoroughly cleaned the area, treated all surfaces with a mold-remediation soda blast, and encapsulated the space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, creating a bright, durable, and moisture-proof environment. To keep humidity permanently under control, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier with a dedicated condensate pump and new electrical outlet for reliable operation.
Now, the once-dirty crawl space is completely sealed and protected — helping the home stay cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient year-round.
