A retired teacher in Dalton, GA, reached out to Master Services after noticing stair-step cracks forming around the corner of her home. Worried about the safety of her property, she scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors. During the inspection, it was determined that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature changes, was to blame.
To address the issue and prevent further structural damage, we recommended installing three helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers would provide much-needed support and stability. Once the installation was complete, the trenches were backfilled and leveled with minimal disruption to the yard. The homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close and felt reassured knowing her home was now safe and secure for the years ahead.
In Allardt, TN, a concerned homeowner sought assistance from Master Services regarding their house's foundation. Our experienced team conducted a comprehensive examination of the property's perimeter. Through careful analysis, we determined that the appearance of cracks was a direct consequence of soil subsidence, particularly considering the slope on which the house was situated.
To effectively address the problem and prevent further damage, we proposed the installation of helical piers. These specialized piers are designed to provide robust reinforcement to foundations, specifically tailored for the prevalent clay terrain in the local area.
By implementing these helical piers, the homeowner can establish a solid foundation and ensure long-term stability for their property. This proactive measure fortifies the structure against the adverse effects of soil subsidence, providing peace of mind and safeguarding the integrity of the house for years to come.
In Allardt, TN, the skilled team at Master Services took on the project of enhancing a crawlspace that suffered from mold growth. Over time, these materials deteriorated, resulting in problems like water pooling and mold formation inside the crawlspace. To tackle this issue, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its durability and effectiveness. Additionally, we included our Sedona dehumidifier. These systems not only reduce humidity in your crawlspace but also enhance the overall air quality in your home.
In Allardt, TN, a family experienced significant issues with their cement sidewalk due to erosion and sinking, which led to noticeable cracking and settling. These problems not only created an unsightly appearance but also posed safety risks for tripping. Concerned about the deteriorating condition of their sidewalk, the family reached out to Master Services for a professional solution.
Upon evaluating the situation, Master Services determined that the best course of action was to use PolyLyft, a specialized polyurethane foam designed for lifting and stabilizing concrete. Our skilled team strategically injected PolyLyft at key points along the sidewalk. This innovative method allows for the concrete slab to be permanently stabilized and elevated, addressing the underlying causes of the sinking and cracking.
In Decatur, TN, a homeowner inquired about upgrading their crawlspace to Master Services. Upon inspection, we discovered that the existing plastic sheet covering the ground was thin and insufficient in providing long-term protection. We noticed multiple tears and rips in the plastic, leading to the formation of stagnant water pools. Consequently, this moisture caused mold growth and potential harm to the floor beams. To address this problem, we proposed the installation of a dependable CleanSpace moisture barrier as the initial defense. This barrier effectively prevents water and moisture from increasing humidity levels in the crawlspace, thereby inhibiting the growth of mold and spores.
