Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Powell, TN, reached out to Master Services with concerns about large cracks forming around one of the window frames and a noticeable gap in the garage. Our home inspector quickly assessed the foundation and identified soil settling as the culprit, caused by fluctuating moisture levels in the soil. The clay beneath the cement slab had contracted due to the intense summer heat, leading to the house sinking on one side—a common issue in the area. 

Recognizing the urgency, we explained that if left unresolved, this could lead to more severe structural problems. To reinforce the foundation, we recommended installing two helical piers beneath a pillar near the garage. These piers would provide the necessary support to prevent further settling. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close and felt reassured that their home was now secure and stable for the future.

A homeowner in Powell, TN, contacted Master Services after discovering a long horizontal crack in their basement wall. Their house, situated on the side of a hill, was under constant hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil, which had caused part of the wall to begin bowing inward. Worried about their home’s structural stability, they needed a reliable solution to support their plans of turning the basement into a functional living space.  

During our inspection, we detected early signs of wall failure and recommended the PowerBrace™ system. This solution features steel I-beams securely fastened to the joists above with steel brackets, providing immediate reinforcement while allowing adjustments over time to help return the wall to its original position.  

The project was completed quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact on both the inside and outside of the property. Now, the homeowner can move forward with peace of mind, knowing their basement is stable, secure, and ready for its transformation. 🏠✨

This crawlspace in Alcoa, TN, encountered stability issues with its wooden beams. The wood posts were no longer adequately supporting the sagging floors of the home, and the soil continued to settle due to high water infiltration. The elevated moisture levels in the crawlspace were causing dampness in the wood beams, worsening the sinking floors. To address this challenge, Master Services intervened by deploying our reliable SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home.

In Maryville, TN, the owner of a large residential building contacted Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking on one side of the house. After our home inspector conducted a thorough assessment, our team determined that soil erosion, particularly the sand-rich soil, was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of the sandy soil. Failing to address this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured lasting stability and safeguarded the building against further sinking and damage.

Upon receiving a request for assistance from a homeowner in Maryville, TN, who had noticeable cracks in their home's walls, Master Services promptly conducted a thorough inspection. Our inspection revealed that the foundation needed immediate attention to prevent further damage, particularly on the side foundation, which had become unstable. After careful consideration, we determined that installing helical piers would be the most effective solution, given the local clay terrain. These piers are specifically designed to provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation and ensure long-term stability.

By installing these helical piers, we were able to restore the homeowner's confidence and provide them with peace of mind, knowing that their property is now safe and stable for many years to come.
