Helical Pier Installation in Loudon, TN

A homeowner in Loudon, TN contacted Master Services due to concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior basement wall. After assessing the foundation's condition, our team identified that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, which are well-suited for the local clay terrain. These piers are specifically designed to reinforce the foundation significantly, ensuring long-term stability.

 

By implementing the helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also provided them with peace of mind, knowing that their property is now secure and stable for years to come.

Repairing a Wall in Loudon, TN

Master Services was contacted regarding a compromised foundation wall in Loudon, TN. During our inspection, we observed evident indications of hydrostatic pressure within the garage. After careful consideration, our team decided to employ the Plate anchor wall system as a solution. This system provides a cost-effective and non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors utilize the stability of the soil to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, especially noting the minimal disruption to their yard throughout the process.

Helical Piers stabilized a house in Loudon, TN

Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Loudon, TN. Our skilled team quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, we installed four helical piers, which connect the cement footing to stable ground using steel brackets. The piers' unique design effectively grips the clay-rich soil, allowing us to close the cracks and restore stability to the home.

Encapsulating a crawl space in Loudon, TN

In Loudon, TN, our team was called upon to address issues with a previously encapsulated crawlspace. The initial encapsulation, carried out by the home builder using budget materials, had deteriorated over time, leading to tears and the accumulation of water. The primary objective was to prevent water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and the infiltration of pests into the area.

To achieve this, we opted for the trusted CleanSpace® Wall system, renowned for its durability and effectiveness. We carefully affixed this system to the basement walls using secure plastic fasteners, ensuring a robust and secure attachment through precise drilling. The CleanSpace® Wall system not only provided additional storage space but also efficiently managed moisture, effectively preventing the growth of mold.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Loudon, TN

Before, this Loudon crawl space had only a thin, loose liner that did not do much to protect the crawl space from moisture and humidity. The environment was damp, musty, which created an environment for mold, odors, and structural damage. Master Services transformed the space by fully encapsulating it with a durable vapor barrier, installing a sump pump, and adding a dehumidifier to keep conditions under control. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry, and energy-efficient, giving the homeowner lasting protection and peace of mind.
