Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Due to settlement, moisture, and wood rot, wooden support beams and joists tend to sag. This impacts the upper levels in a home, leading to sloping or sagging floors, stuck doors and windows, cracks, and other problems. To fix this crawlspace near Saint Paul, VA, Master Services installed our crawlspace support jacks, which bolster sagging areas to provide long-term support. 

We were dispatched to inspect a house in Tazewell, VA, in need of additional structural support. After evaluating the situation, our team suggested the installation of our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to relieve hydrostatic pressure on the wall. These carbon fiber straps, providing strength comparable to steel, eliminate the need for drilling or heavy machinery during installation. Furthermore, once the repair work is finished, it can be discreetly concealed.

In North Tazewell, VA, a home encountered foundation settlement, prominently displayed by one of its window frames. This issue commonly arises when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To resolve this, the Master Services crew installed helical piers, similar to large screws, to firmly anchor the home to stable ground nearby. We strategically drilled holes and installed three helical piers at key points until achieving the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, guarantee stability, ensuring the house remains secure for years to come.

The walls in this home near Honaker, VA were undergoing settlement problems. Signs of settlement include cracks, sloping or springy floors, creaking floors, and other problems. To address the damage, we installed our Carbon Fiber Reinforcement straps, which stabilize and strengthen failing walls. 

In Saint Paul, VA, a homeowner contacted Master Services with concerns about "ladder cracks" in the outer walls of their house. Upon evaluating the foundation, our team identified soil subsidence as the cause of the cracks. The cement slab on which the house was built was sinking due to contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. Left unaddressed, this problem could jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended installing helical piers, specifically designed to offer significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.
