This Jellico, TN home had significant mold and moisture problems, but with the use of a dehumidifier along with mold remediation, the problem was solved. The dehumidifier even ensured that mold would be prevented in the future. If you are experiencing similar issues, Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair can help you too!
A homeowner near Jellico, TN contacted Master Services about some wall damage she noticed in an exterior wall. The home was built in the 50s, so foundation and wall damage certainly isn't out of the question for a home of that age. The homeowner wanted the problem fixed before it got any worse! Our team got to work installing our wall anchor system, which are a less expensive and disruptive alternative to rebuilding or replacing a wall!
Crawlspaces are often seen as dirty and unappealing, making it difficult for homeowners to identify the cause of sagging or sinking floors. However, Master Services was able to determine that the solution was to install SmartJacks, which helped lift the wooden beams in the crawlspace and address the issue of settling floors.
In Jacksboro, TN, a business owner reached out to us concerning a significant issue with one of their properties, a large retail store. The building exhibited multiple cracks, known as "ladder cracks," along with some wall bowing. Upon thorough inspection, our team determined that the entire structure had sunk over two inches, posing a potential threat to its structural integrity. This not only risked economic losses but also posed a safety hazard for customers and employees.
After careful assessment, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to address the local clay terrain. These piers provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, ensuring long-term stability. Our skilled crew successfully installed 22 piers, immediately stabilizing the entire building. We have also marked the outer walls for regular monitoring to prevent any further settling.
Within three days, we secured the entire building, ensuring uninterrupted economic activity for the entire area.
In Jacksboro, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services due to concerns about a large stair-step crack on one of their foundation walls that kept widening over time. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, primarily due to the clay soil, was causing this shift in the concrete base. The concrete slab supporting the house was sinking due to the natural shrinkage of the clay soil.
To prevent further issues, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to reinforce the foundation, especially effective in our local terrain. By using these helical piers, Master Services not only reassured the homeowner but also guaranteed the long-term stability and protection of their property.
