The Master Services installation team effectively addressed a troubling issue with a basement wall in Rocky Top, TN. The team successfully installed Wall Plate Anchors to tackle the problem caused by excessive moisture from the nearby terrain, leading to hydrostatic pressure and movement of the front wall. Recognizing the necessity for a lasting solution, the homeowners sought a method to reinforce the wall.
Deploying Wall Plate Anchors proved to be the ideal solution as they stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, significantly improving the overall structural integrity of the house. The installation process was carried out with efficiency, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
A homeowner in Rocky Top, TN, contacted Master Services after noticing large cracks forming along the stone-covered wall near the main entrance of their home. Worried about potential structural problems, they scheduled an inspection with one of our experts. During the assessment, we discovered that fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature shifts had caused the soil beneath the foundation to settle, resulting in the cracks along the stone veneer.
To address this, we recommended installing three helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers extend down into stable, load-bearing soil to provide reliable support with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Once the installation was complete, our team backfilled the trenches and restored the site to its original appearance. The homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close up and felt confident knowing their home was now structurally secure for years to come.
In Farragut, Tennessee, a homeowner reached out to Master Services due to concerns about their house's foundation settling on one side. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, mainly because of 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 suggested installing 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.

To resolve this, we employed our dependable helical pier system, a method of stabilization which relies on the solid surrounding soil to secure the piers.
