Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Harriman, TN, the owner of a charming red-brick home perched on a scenic hillside grew concerned upon noticing a pronounced stair-step crack in the walls. After he reached out to Master Services, our home inspector confirmed that the stair-step cracks, especially visible on one side of the house, were the result of shifting soils in the red clay typical of East Tennessee. Recognizing the need for a permanent fix, the homeowner agreed to the solution we proposed, reinforcing the house foundation.

Our team recommended and installed five Helical Piers to stabilize the settling foundation. These piers function like large screws, drilling through the clay-rich soil until they reach a firm, load-bearing layer underground. Once in place, we carefully raised the foundation to the desired level, restoring the home’s structural integrity. Thanks to this proven system, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing the red-brick house is secure, level, and ready to stand the test of time.

Master Services was contacted regarding a damaged foundation wall issue in Harriman, TN. Upon our inspection, clear signs of hydrostatic pressure were evident, indicating an urgent need for intervention. Following a thorough assessment, our team opted to utilize the Plate Anchor Wall System, which offers a cost-effective and minimally intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing compromised foundation walls. This innovative wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, utilizing the stability of the surrounding soil to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the result, particularly noting the minimal disruption to their yard during the process.

Our team at Master Services received a call from a homeowner residing in Cisco, GA who had been dealing with settling problems caused by the clay soil. Upon conducting a thorough inspection of the property, we realized that the foundation was in dire need of immediate attention to prevent further damage and instability.

We determined that the best course of action would be to install helical piers. These piers are perfect for the local terrain as they provide excellent reinforcement to the foundation and offer long-lasting stability. Additionally, they do not cause significant disruptions to the outside yard during the installation process.

By installing these helical piers, we were able to restore the homeowner's peace of mind by ensuring that their property was safe and stable for years to come.
