An individual who owns a property in Oneida, Tennessee contacted us regarding the state of their crawlspace. The area had not been properly sealed and waterproofed, and there were some beams that had begun to sag. To address these issues, we proposed our CleanSpace moisture barrier solution, which would guarantee the crawlspace stays clean and, most importantly, dry. Furthermore, we installed some SmartJacks to provide support to the weakened parts of the crawlspace. This solution can be adjusted to provide additional reinforcement if needed.
Our team received a call from a homeowner in Riceville, TN, who was seeking assistance in reinforcing their basement walls. After our home inspector identified the root causes of the problem, we recommended the implementation of our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps are exceptionally strong, comparable to steel, and come with the added advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is particularly relevant for homeowners who are using the basement as additional living space, as was the case with this particular property. Furthermore, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the premises.
Master Services successfully waterproofed a large commercial building in Riceville, TN. The structure is located on the side of a hill, and one of its walls was frequently flooded during rainfall, leading to mold growth and significant efflorescence on the bricks. To tackle this issue, our team installed a vapor barrier that covered the entire wall and implemented the WaterGuard® Drainage System. This system cleverly channels water away from the walls to the lowest point in the building, where our dependable sump pump efficiently removes the water and directs it outside. This solution has greatly reduced humidity inside the building and safeguarded it from future flooding.
Crawlspaces are dirty, tiny, and undesirable to visit. Because of this, many homeowners cannot determine the cause of their sagging or sinking floors. In some cases, the answer is in the crawlspace! One look into this crawlspace and Master Services knew what needed to be done: install SmartJacks.
SmartJacks lifted the wooden beams in this crawlspace to help alleviate sagging floors due to settling.
A property owner near Helenwood, TN noticed bowing walls inside his home. Our team took a look and recommended our Carbon Fiber Reinforcement system to stabilize and support the wall to prevent further damage. This technique involves soaking straps in epoxy, placing them against the wall, and waiting for them to cure. Once they do, they provide tension comparable to steel!
