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.
Emma, a local business owner in Pigeon Forge, TN, began noticing unsettling dips in her living room floor that caused doors to jam and the surface to feel uneven. Concerned about the structural integrity of her home, she decided to reach out to Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, performed a detailed evaluation of the crawl space, and identified where reinforcements were most urgently needed.
Based on our findings, we recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space to control moisture and prevent future issues. With that complete, our crew installed three SmartJacks at strategic points beneath the newly encapsulated crawl space. These durable, adjustable jacks were carefully positioned to stabilize weak beams and level the floor. By the end of the project, Emma was delighted with the outcome, relieved to have a solid, even floor once again—and the peace of mind that it will stay that way for years to come.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a significant bowed foundation wall problem in Pigeon Forge, TN. This issue was mitigated using our I-Beam Wall Braces. The homeowner was in search of a lasting solution for this spacious area and was particularly interested in reinforcing the garage walls.
Our installation of I-Beam Wall Braces stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil in its surroundings, thereby adding substantial support to the overall structural integrity of the house. The entire procedure was executed efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
