Before & After

In Cleveland, TN, a home on a hill experienced foundation settlement following heavy rainfall, a typical problem when the ground beneath shifts or erodes. To solve this, we installed helical piers, similar to large screws, to firmly secure the home to stable ground nearby. Given the red clay soil, we drilled holes strategically and installed the helical piers. These devices, attached to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, keeping the house secure for years ahead.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a bowed foundation wall issue in Cleveland, TN, using Wall Plate Anchors. Due to excessive moisture from nearby terrain, known as hydrostatic pressure, the soil gradually pushed the wall inward, creating voids inside the basement. Concerned for the stability of their home, the homeowner sought a permanent solution for this spacious area, which was being used as additional storage space. By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the wall was stabilized by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, providing extra support to the overall structure of the house. The procedure was efficiently conducted, with minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
The Master Services team visited a home in Sunbright, TN to help with structural settlement. As homes age, they fall victim to a variety of settlement issues, like sinking beams, springy floors, cracks, and stuck doors and windows. To fix the beams in this home, the team installed our SmartJack system, which provides long-lasting protection and is adjustable according to future needs.
This homeowner in Sunbright was dealing with a crawl space that allowed outside humidity to build up beneath the home, creating conditions that could lead to mold, wood rot, poor indoor air quality, and higher energy costs. To provide a lasting solution, our team removed larger debris from the crawl space before installing the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier across the floor and walls. We also sealed the foundation vents to keep humid outdoor air from entering the crawl space and installed a SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier to continuously control moisture levels and maintain a healthier environment beneath the home.
After the project was completed, the homeowner was left with a clean, dry, and fully encapsulated crawl space designed to protect the home's structural components from excess moisture. With the vents sealed, debris removed, CleanSpace® in place, and the SaniDry™ Sedona keeping humidity under control, the crawl space is now a healthier, more energy-efficient space that will help protect the home for years to come.
A homeowner in Rockwood, TN was sick of his wet, moldy crawlspace. Through the use of Mold Spray, a Crawlspace Sump Pump, SanteFe Edge humidifier, and more of our crawlspace repair products, Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair made the space a pleasant area that was no longer a worry for the residents!
