A homeowner in Cleveland, TN, noticed damage beneath her front porch step, especially after heavy rainfall. Stones collapsed into a shallow sinkhole, exposing part of the foundation footing. Concerned about potential disruption to the upper levels of the house, such as window frames, she promptly sought help. Our team inspected the structure and identified the area needing additional support. We then utilized our push pier system, ideal for narrow digging areas like this one. After securely installing it into the dry and stable clay soil beneath the sinkhole, we anchored it with a steel bracket to the cement footing of the house. Once the hole was backfilled, no visible damage remained, leaving a reinforced structure.
In Cleveland, TN, a home on a hill experienced foundation settlement following heavy rainfall, a typical problem when the ground beneath shifts or erodes. To solve this, we installed helical piers, similar to large screws, to firmly secure the home to stable ground nearby. Given the red clay soil, we drilled holes strategically and installed the helical piers. These devices, attached to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, keeping the house secure for years ahead.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a bowed foundation wall issue in Cleveland, TN, using Wall Plate Anchors. Due to excessive moisture from nearby terrain, known as hydrostatic pressure, the soil gradually pushed the wall inward, creating voids inside the basement. Concerned for the stability of their home, the homeowner sought a permanent solution for this spacious area, which was being used as additional storage space. By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the wall was stabilized by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, providing extra support to the overall structure of the house. The procedure was efficiently conducted, with minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
The Master Services installation team successfully addressed a large stair-step crack on a basement wall in Rockwood, TN, using our I-Beam Wall Braces. The homeowner sought a lasting solution for this expansive area, with a specific focus on minimizing disruption to the floor as they intended to use this space as living space.
Our installation of I-Beam Wall Braces stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil in its surroundings, effectively creating a "soil sandwich" around the basement structure. The entire procedure was executed efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
Our team received a call from a homeowner in Riceville, TN, who was seeking assistance in reinforcing their basement walls. After our home inspector identified the root causes of the problem, we recommended the implementation of our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps are exceptionally strong, comparable to steel, and come with the added advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is particularly relevant for homeowners who are using the basement as additional living space, as was the case with this particular property. Furthermore, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the premises.
