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.
Our experts at Master Services went to a home in Kingsport, TN to assess a basement wall in need of additional support. To fix the issue, we implemented our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system. The carbon fiber straps are as strong as steel but don't require drilling or large equipment during the installation process. Moreover, once the repair is completed, it can be seamlessly concealed.
In Kingsport, TN, a couple reached out to Master Services regarding concerns about "ladder cracks" on their home's exterior walls. After assessing the foundation, our team determined that soil subsidence was causing these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house was sinking due to the contraction of clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. If left unattended, this could compromise the overall structural integrity of the residence. To avert further deterioration, we advised the installation of helical piers, specifically engineered to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly in the local clay terrain. Through the implementation of these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also ensured enduring stability and protection for their property.
Our team traveled to Kingsport, TN, to address a home settlement issue. During inspection, our home inspector noted vertical cracks in the crawlspace wall. Due to shifting soils and moisture problems, homes frequently settle, resulting in issues like cracks and stuck doors and windows, as observed in this case. This settlement compromises both the stability and market value of the home. To prevent further damage, our team installed Push piers. These devices utilize their design to secure stable soil beneath the house, offering immediate support and often restoring the house to its original height. Despite the confined space (between 4-5 feet), our skilled crew successfully completed the task.
A homeowner in Kingsport, TN was having a host of issues in their basement and with their foundation walls. The walls were crackling and showing signs of buckling... never a good sign or something that a property owner should ignore. We installed our plate anchor wall system, which provides long-term support to walls that are undergoing settlement.
