Our team headed up to Pounding Mill, VA to see about bolstering a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture issues, many houses eventually settle, which results in cracks, stuck doors and windows, and other problems. To stall further damage, our team installed helical piers. This system provides support to flagging foundations, anchoring them to resilient surrounding soils.
Master Services visited a home in East Stone Gap, VA that was undergoing settlement. Settlement will only worsen over time and creates problems like cracks, sloping or sunken floors, stuck doors and windows, and more. To fix it, our team installed helical piers, which bolster the foundation and provide long-term support.
The team visited a residence in Rosedale, VA that had bowing, cracking walls in the basement. In this case, early remediation is important to stave off further damage... as well as costly repairs! The Master Services team installed power braces, which are a relatively inexpensive method to repair the walls.
Our team assessed a residence in Castlewood, VA, prompted by worries about sagging beams in the crawlspace. As time passes, beams can deteriorate and shift, particularly when they're not appropriately sized for the structural load. To tackle this, we implemented our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier. These supports aim to forestall further settling and potentially even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly tackled the issue and offered a long-term remedy for a problem that could have exacerbated over time.
In Castlewood, VA, a home experienced foundation sinking, prominently evidenced by one of its window frames. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. Strategically drilling holes and installing three helical piers at key points achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, guaranteeing the house remains secure for years to come.
