Master Services recently addressed a settling foundation at a red brick home in Mt. Carmel, TN. We dug alongside the exterior wall at the exact spot where visible cracks indicated the structure was beginning to shift. Our team installed three Helical Piers in the clay-rich soil beneath the compromised area, effectively anchoring the home to more stable ground. These specialized piers feature plates that help pull them into the soil during installation and provide critical anchoring strength as the weight of the house is transferred to each pier. Thanks to this timely intervention, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is once again secure.
Our team at Master Services responded to a call from a residence in Fall Branch, TN, which was experiencing settling issues due to clay soil. Upon inspection, it was apparent that the structure needed prompt attention to prevent any compromise to its stability. To address this issue, we decided to install helical piers, which are ideally suited for the Tennessee terrain. These piers significantly reinforce the foundation and provide enduring stability without causing much disruption to the outside yard.
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!
