These SmartJacks successfully lifted the wooden beams in the crawlspace, resolving the issue of sagging floors caused by settling.
A homeowner in Erwin, TN, reached out to our team for assistance in reinforcing their basement structure. After a comprehensive assessment, we suggested the installation of our state-of-the-art Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps boast impressive strength, equivalent to steel, and come with the added benefit of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is particularly valuable for property owners utilizing the basement as additional living space. Additionally, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the premises.
A homeowner in Erwin, TN contacted us after noticing concerning sagging in their crawl space. This area had been left untreated for years, partially revealing rocks and red clay formations that contributed to ongoing moisture and structural problems. Our team recommended installing three SmartJacks, high-capacity, adjustable steel piers that provide a permanent solution by preventing further settling and even raising the floor to its original position. Thanks to this swift and effective fix, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their home’s structure is secure and protected against future damage.
In Saint Paul, VA, a homeowner contacted Master Services with concerns about "ladder cracks" in the outer walls of their house. Upon evaluating the foundation, our team identified soil subsidence as the cause of the cracks. The cement slab on which the house was built was sinking due to contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. Left unaddressed, this problem could jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended installing helical piers, specifically designed to offer significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.
