Our team recently worked on a large crawlspace near Oak Ridge, TN, which had been previously encapsulated with inadequate material that deteriorated over time, leading to mold growth on the joists. After a thorough inspection, our crew removed all debris and the old encapsulation, then sealed off the vents. Next, they installed our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace liner, which brightens the crawlspace and protects against moisture. To maintain stable humidity levels and prevent mold and spore growth year-round, we added our Sedona dehumidifier.
In Oak Ridge, TN, John, a longtime homeowner, noticed his beloved porch starting to show signs of wear. Over the years, cracks appeared, and one side began to sink, making it tough to enjoy his morning coffee with a wobbly table and chairs. Concerned that soil erosion beneath the porch was worsening the situation, he decided to reach out to Master Services for a professional opinion.
Our home inspector visited, assessed the porch issues, and provided a clear solution with a free estimate. After John gave the go-ahead, we scheduled the job, and our crew arrived promptly to complete the work in a single day. Using our PolyLyft system, they carefully injected the material to lift and stabilize the porch without major disruption. Now, John's porch is level and secure, and he's thrilled to have his outdoor space back in top shape, free of tripping hazards!
A local church in Oak Ridge, Tennessee was experiencing significant settlement of its slab foundation, resulting in uneven concrete surfaces and visible signs of structural movement throughout the building. While some foundation settlement can occur naturally over time, excessive movement can lead to cracked concrete, uneven floors, and gaps where walls begin to separate from floors or ceilings. Beyond the structural concerns, these conditions can also create potential safety hazards for building occupants and visitors.
After a detailed inspection, the experts at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair developed a comprehensive repair plan to address both the symptoms and the underlying cause of the settlement. To restore the affected concrete surfaces, our team utilized PolyLyft™ concrete lifting to raise and level uneven sections of the slab. To address the source of the problem, helical piers were installed beneath the foundation to stabilize the structure and help prevent additional settlement in the future. By combining foundation stabilization with concrete lifting, the church received a long-term solution designed to improve safety, restore functionality, and provide lasting structural support for years to come.
Voids under your foundation can be the cause of many settling issues. Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair sprays a 150 degree Poly foam into the void, which then lifts and reinforces the foundation, sidewalk, or porch.
Because Poly is resistant to water and soil erosion, this home in Newcomb, TN can rest assured that their foundation will not settle again!
This concrete slab in Lenoir City, TN shifted due to soil erosion and excessive moisture. To fix it, the crew used PolyLyft to inject holes along the perimeter. As the PolyLyft expanded, it raised the slab to its original position.
