In a newly built home near Athens, TN, a homeowner named John noticed unsettling cracks forming at the corner of his garage. Concerned about the potential for structural damage, he contacted Master Services for an inspection. Our team quickly identified that soil erosion had caused the foundation to settle, leading to a noticeable stair-step crack in the garage corner.
To address the issue, we installed two helical piers—large screw-like supports designed to anchor the home into stable ground, preventing further settling. With the piers in place, the foundation is now secure, giving John peace of mind that his home will remain stable for years to come.
In a newly built home near Athens, TN, positioned on the side of a small hill with red clay soil, a homeowner noticed a troubling crack forming on the first floor. Concerned about the possibility of foundation damage, they reached out to Master Services for an expert assessment. Our inspection revealed that the combination of hillside construction and the clay-rich soil led to foundation settling, which caused the noticeable crack.
To resolve the issue, we installed four helical piers, screw-like supports that stabilize the home by anchoring it to solid ground. This solution prevents further settling, and with the piers in place, the foundation is now secure. The homeowner can rest easy knowing their property is protected against future shifts and will remain stable for years to come.
This homeowner in Niota, TN was desperate for a fix to their musty, dirty crawlspace. The humidity and musty smell was beginning to rise from the space inside the home. They called Master Services, who installed SilverGlo. Not only does the crawlspace now have a vapor barrier, it looks cleaner and is proving to lessen the musty smell inside the home!
The team visited a crawlspace located near Benton, TN. Crawlspaces often are subject to problems like mold, mildew, and water vapor. Left unprotected, these blights lead to wood rot, which eats away wooden support beams and joists. To avert this danger, our team installed our top-of-the-line encapsulation system. CleanSpace acts as a barrier between crawlspaces and water, protecting against damage and other issues.
The team visited a home near Old Fort, TN that needed some crawlspace help. The area was dank, moldy, and attracting pests into the area. If moisture enters a crawlspace, it creates mold growth and attracts critters that die in the area. As they die, they create odors that not only attract other pests, but waft into the upper levels of the home. To keep this from happening, Master Services installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is mold-resistant and keeps water from afflcting below-grade areas.
