Photo Album: Helical piers stabilized the corner of a house in Athens, TN.
John, a homeowner near Athens, TN, noticed concerning cracks in the corner of his garage and contacted Master Services for help. After a free inspection, our team identified soil erosion as the cause of the foundation settling. To resolve the issue, we installed helical piers to stabilize the home. The crew completed the job within a day, leaving minimal disruption, and John was relieved to know his foundation was now secure for the future.

Once installed, the helical piers are virtually invisible.

Our piers were able to raise the corner of the house back to its original height, effectively closing any stair step crack on the brick wall.
