In Morristown, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks that had appeared within the walls of their residence. Following a thorough evaluation of the foundation, our team concluded that soil subsidence was responsible for these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house was settling due to the contraction of clay soil, a common occurrence during the hottest months. If left unattended, this could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the dwelling.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to offer significant foundation reinforcement, particularly effective within the local clay terrain. Through the utilization of these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-lasting stability and protection for their property.
A homeowner in White Pine, TN noticed some alarming signs of settlement around the property. Cracks were forming along the brick exterior of her home, while a wall inside her basement was bowing. She was right to seek help and we were pleased she decided to go with our team! We recommended our carbon fiber reinforcement system, which uses epoxy-soaked straps to support and strengthen weakened walls.
A property owner near Lowland, TN noticed that several walls in his basement were cracking. This is never a welcome sight for homeowners, as they know it portends more serious damage down the road... perhaps even wall failure. Our team visited and took a look at the problem, then recommended a strategy to stop further damage. We suggested our I-Beam Wall Brace and Power Brace system, which supports walls without disrupting the rest of the home or surrounding landscaping.
Cracks in your sidewalk are not only unsightly, they can be cause for more issues. The Carbos were devastated by the constant cracking in the sidewalk leading to their home in Crosby, Tennessee. They called Master Services to see what could be done.
The Carbos were informed of a product Master Services uses a joint sealant- a caulking that not only fills the crack, but also goes deeper to prevent future cracks.
When the job was finished, the sidewalk looked better than ever and the Carbos can enjoy a beautiful sidewalk with no worry of future cracking.
Master Services recently responded promptly to address concerns with a front porch in Cosby, TN. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the front porch, a common issue due to soil settling. To resolve the problem, we installed three helical piers beneath the cement stairs.
These helical piers efficiently connected the cement footing to the solid ground under the house using sturdy steel brackets. Their unique shape is designed to grip the clay-rich soil effectively, ensuring a secure and lasting solution. Thanks to our swift and professional intervention, the front porch in Cosby, TN, is now stable and safe.
