In Sevierville, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking in their foundation wall. Following a thorough foundation assessment, our team concluded that soil erosion was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of clay soil, a prevalent problem in this specific area of Tennessee. Neglecting this issue could potentially jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the residence.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers, which are specifically designed to offer substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured lasting stability and safeguarded their property.
Recently, the Master Services team made their way to a charming home in Sevierville, TN, located on a steep incline, to assess a structural wall that had been impacted. The reason for the damage appeared to be due to hydrostatic pressure from the exterior. The team, in order to repair the issue, utilized their wall plate anchor system which uses the surrounding soil's stability to prevent further damage and secure the walls.
A homeowner near Sevierville, TN, reached out to Master Services regarding a soil settling issue, indicated by a stair-step crack near one of the windows. To rectify this, our team adeptly installed three helical piers to reinforce the foundation at one corner, guaranteeing long-term stability and averting future settling concerns. Tailored for the clay-rich soil prevalent in the region, this solution provides supplementary support. Importantly, the installation was completed without disrupting the yard, all within a single day.
The Master Services team recently visited a lovely home in Sevierville, TN, owned by Mark, a meticulous and detail-oriented retiree. Mark had recently moved into the property and quickly noticed concerning cracks in one of the structural walls. Knowing the area was prone to heavy rains, he suspected the damage was due to hydrostatic pressure and wanted to address the issue before it worsened.
Our team arrived to assess the situation and determined that hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil was indeed compromising the wall's stability. To resolve the issue, we installed five of our reliable wall plate anchors. This innovative solution uses the stability of the surrounding soil to reinforce and secure the damaged wall, preventing further movement or structural risks.
Mark was impressed with our team's efficiency and professionalism throughout the process. Seeing his wall stabilized and his home safe brought him immense relief, and he expressed gratitude for the peace of mind Master Services provided.
The foundation of a lovely house in Pigeon Forge, TN, was facing serious settlement issues due to shifting or eroding soils beneath it. The homeowner, noticing cracks beginning to form in the window frames, sought assistance. Our team assessed the situation and determined that the home, located near commercial property, was almost two inches away from foundation collapse. To address this, we installed four helical piers at two different locations, anchoring the house securely to the stable ground below. We used steel brackets to connect the piers to the cement footing of the house. This effective solution ensured that the home remained level and secure, providing peace of mind for the homeowner.
