In Marion, VA, a dedicated homeowner, known for their meticulous care and attention to detail, grew concerned after noticing signs of potential water infiltration in their basement. Hoping to address the issue before it worsened, they reached out to Master Services for a professional evaluation. Upon inspection, our home inspector identified a long horizontal crack along the basement wall, a clear indication of hydrostatic pressure caused by the surrounding soil pressing against the structure. This type of issue, if left unaddressed, can compromise the stability of the home over time.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner promptly scheduled the necessary repairs. The Master Services team installed Wall Plate Anchors, a highly effective solution for stabilizing compromised walls. These anchors work by securing the wall to the stable soil outside, counteracting the inward pressure and reinforcing the home’s structural integrity. With this installation complete, the homeowner can rest assured that their basement is protected against further damage, and their cherished home is safe for years to come.
A home near Doran, VA was beginning to show signs of settlement in the basement. These signs include cracks, buckling, and bowing. Our team used our carbon fiber strapping technique to stabilize and strengthen the walls.
Our team headed to a home near Raven, VA to look at some foundation issues. The owner was noticing some issues, both interior and exterior, including stuck doors and windows, cracks in the foundation, and uneven flooring. To correct any problems, Master Services installed our helical and push pier systems. These realign homes without requiring major excavation.
The team visited a residence in Rosedale, VA that had bowing, cracking walls in the basement. In this case, early remediation is important to stave off further damage... as well as costly repairs! The Master Services team installed power braces, which are a relatively inexpensive method to repair the walls.
A homeowner near Whitetop, VA was worried about some damage she noticed around an exterior wall. Cracks were forming along the brick and she could see some irregularity around the area. Master Services inspected the home and confirmed that the foundation was undergoing settlement. We recommended our push pier system to realign and stabilize the home.
