Master Services received a call regarding a foundation wall issue in Fall Branch, TN. Our inspection revealed a noticeable horizontal crack, a clear sign of hydrostatic pressure and an urgent concern.
Upon careful evaluation, we opted to use our Wall Braces system, a cost-effective and minimally disruptive solution compared to rebuilding or replacing the compromised foundation walls. This system employs the main support beam's force to prevent further bowing of the wall within the foundation. The homeowner was pleased with the results, particularly appreciating the minimal disruption to their yard during the process.
In Chuckey, TN, Sarah, a devoted homeowner, grew increasingly concerned when she noticed deep cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement wall. Fearing the foundation might be compromised and eager to prevent further damage, she reached out to Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, assessing the structure and explaining that recent heavy rains had shifted the soil composition around her home, causing sections of the foundation to settle—an all-too-common issue in the region.
To address Sarah’s concerns and stabilize the foundation, we recommended installing several helical piers to prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the clear explanation and scheduled the installation without delay. In just one day, our crew set up the piers, and Sarah felt instant relief seeing the cracks close—a reassuring sign that her home was secure once more. With her foundation stabilized, she felt confident her home was safe for the future and grateful for Master Services’ quick and thorough work.
A typical home in Limestone, TN suffered from visible exterior wall and window frame cracking, a telltale sign of foundation settling. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause, attributed to soil erosion from heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity. To remedy this, our team installed three helical piers strategically to anchor the home securely to stable ground. Installed with precision, these piers ensure the long-term stabilization of the house, providing stability for years to come!
The Master Services installation team successfully addressed a bowed retaining wall in Limestone, TN, using several Wall Plate Anchors. The large horizontal crack on the exterior wall was caused by prolonged exposure to excessive moisture due to hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain.
By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the team effectively stabilized the wall by securely connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing crucial reinforcement to the entire structure of the house. This procedure was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
In Limestone, TN, the Williams family noticed a persistent issue in the crawlspace beneath their home: the support beams and floor joists were starting to sag. Concerned that the problem would only get worse, they reached out for a permanent solution. Our team recommended installing a couple of SmartJacks—robust steel supports designed to stabilize and level weakened structures.
Working carefully in the crawlspace, we positioned each SmartJack on top of a sturdy, pre-cast concrete base that minimized disruption to the existing cement floor. Once assembled and securely connected to the main girder, each SmartJack could be tightened as needed to provide ongoing support. Thanks to this reliable system, the Williams family can rest easy knowing that their crawlspace and the floors above it now have a strong, long-lasting foundation.
