A homeowner in New Tazewell, TN started noticing signs of settlement around his property, including cracks, stuck doors and windows, gaps between the flooring and wall, and others. He called Master Services for an inspection, during which we found significant settlement issues. We installed our helical pier system, a dependable stabilization method that uses strong surrounding ground to anchor the piers.
Homeowners are rightfully alarmed to notice bulging or bowing walls in their home. This homeowner near Shawanee, TN called out our team to come inspect some basement walls that were demonstrating signs of damage. To fix them, we installed our wall plate anchor system, which reach outside to strong surrounding soils to arrest further damage.
Our team at Master Services went to a house located near Kodak, TN to inspect a basement wall that had a significant vertical crack. The damage was likely caused by hydrostatic pressure from the outside. To fix the problem, we installed our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system. The strength of the carbon fiber straps is similar to steel, but it doesn't require drilling or heavy machinery to install. Plus, once the repairs are finished, it can be easily hidden.
A log cabin in Kodak, TN, encountered stability issues with its wooden crawlspace. The wood posts and concrete columns were no longer effectively supporting the sagging living room and kitchen floors of the cabin. High moisture levels in the crawlspace were dampening the wood beams, worsening the problem of sinking floors. Master Services intervened to address the issue by introducing our trusted SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home even within the constraints of a tight space.
A typical home in Kodak, TN suffered from visible exterior wall and window frame cracking, a telltale sign of foundation settling. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause: soil erosion from heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity. To remedy this, our team strategically installed three helical piers to anchor the home securely to stable ground. To dig through the hardened, clay-rich soil, our crew had to use water to soften the terrain before starting the excavation. Installed with precision, these piers ensure the long-term stabilization of the house, providing stability for years to come!
