A homeowner was concerned about a cracked wall in their basement. Our inspectors suggested using a Plate anchor wall system as a cost-effective and non-disruptive alternative to rebuilding or replacing damaged foundation walls. Our wall anchor system relies on the stability of the surrounding soil to prevent further bowing of the inside wall, rather than extending directly from the foundation.

In Knoxville, TN, the Knoxville Center for the Deaf reached out to Master Services concerning noticeable sinking in their foundation wall, which was so severe that it was affecting the interior floors. After conducting a thorough assessment of the foundation, our team identified soil erosion as the root cause of this issue, which was notably evidenced by the cracking around the window frames.
To prevent further deterioration and structural damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to provide substantial reinforcement to foundations, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured long-term stability and protected the building against further sinking and damage.
Upon completion of our work, we left the site after filling and cleaning the excavation area. Throughout the operation, the structure was able to continue serving the community effectively.
Through the process of "slab jacking" Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair can actually raise your concrete driveway or basement floor back to its original position. This process is usually a fraction of the cost of pouring a new slab or driveway!
The foundation of this home near Clairfield, TN was underdoing settlement. Settlement happens when soils and ground beneath the structure shift or are washed away. To fix the problem, the team installed helical piers, which look like large screws and anchor the home to strong surrounding ground. With this system in place, the house should be stabilized for years to come.
Master Services was called to a home in Corryton, TN to address some foundation issues the homeowner had been experiencing, including stuck doors and windows, cracks in the foundation, and uneven flooring.
To fix these problems, our team installed our helical and push pier systems, which are designed to realign homes without the need for extensive excavation.
