Master Services recently responded to concerns about a settling foundation in Cosby, TN. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the home’s foundation, an issue commonly caused by shifting or unstable soil. To resolve the problem, we installed three Helical Piers beneath the compromised area.
These four piers efficiently connect the foundation to the stable ground using sturdy steel brackets. Their unique design grips the clay-rich soil effectively, providing a secure, lasting solution. Thanks to our swift and professional intervention, the house in Cosby, TN, is now stabilized and safe.
Master Services went to a home in Newport, Tennessee that was experiencing settling issues. Settling will only get worse over time and causes problems like cracks, uneven floors, jammed doors and windows, and more.

Lisa, a first-time homeowner in a charming cottage near Newport, TN, became increasingly concerned when a noticeable stair-step crack along one of her exterior walls began widening. She had recently inherited the home from her grandparents and was determined to preserve its condition. Adding to her worries, she noticed her windows were becoming harder to open and close, clear signs of potential structural issues. Realizing she needed professional assistance, Lisa turned to Master Services.
Our team quickly scheduled a visit, and our home inspector thoroughly evaluated the property. The culprit was clear—soil erosion beneath the foundation was causing the structure to settle unevenly. To resolve the issue and protect the home, we installed four helical piers. These robust supports anchor the foundation into stable soil layers, ensuring long-term stability. Additionally, our crew carefully raised the segment of the wall needing support, successfully closing most of the stair-step crack gap. The work was completed efficiently in just one day, leaving Lisa’s yard intact and disruption minimal.
Now with her foundation secure and the crack nearly invisible, Lisa feels a deep sense of relief knowing her grandparents’ cherished home is safe from further damage. She’s grateful to Master Services for their expertise and quick resolution, ensuring her family’s legacy stands strong for years to come.
