A homeowner in Kodak, TN, contacted Master Services after spotting stair-step cracks forming at the corner near the main entrance of his red brick house. Concerned about potential structural issues, he scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors. During the inspection, it was determined that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature changes, was the main culprit.
We recommended installing two helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers reach stable soil deep underground to provide solid support, while minimizing disruption to the soil around the home. Once the installation was complete, the trenches were backfilled and leveled, restoring the area to its original state. The homeowner felt relieved to see the cracks close and had peace of mind knowing his home was now safe and secure for the years ahead.
In Kodak, TN, this homeowner began noticing major cracks and uneven concrete in the garage floor, which led to tripping hazards, structural concerns, and an overall unsightly appearance. Master Services addressed the problem using our Polyurethane Injection process, where a strong yet lightweight polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete. This foam expands to lift and level the slabs, filling voids and stabilizing the foundation. After the lift, we sealed the cracks to protect the garage from water intrusion and future damage. The result is a smooth, level, and secure garage floor that looks better and will last for years to come.
A homeowner in Tazewell, TN was worried about a section of their foundation settling and observed damage on the main floor as well as other anomalies in the area. Our inspection by Master Services concluded that the foundation required extra support. To resolve the problem, we suggested the use of our "Push Pier" system, which aims to permanently stabilize and even out the foundation.
A homeowner in Rutledge, TN contacted Master Services with concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior wall. Upon evaluating the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide 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 guaranteed long-term stability and security for their property.
Our team was sent to evaluate a residential basement in Rutledge, TN, which exhibited clear indications of structural instability caused by soil settling, necessitating additional support. To resolve this issue, our experts utilized our advanced foundation support system, known as EverBrace. This system combines steel corrugated panels and beams to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls. Moreover, rigid foam is injected to fill any gaps behind the steel panels, effectively transferring the load from the compromised structure to the new support panels. This solution offers a less disruptive alternative to complete foundation replacement.
