In Bristol, VA, a concerned homeowner named Sarah reached out to Master Services after noticing large cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement. Worried about the structural integrity of her home, she wanted answers. Our home inspector arrived promptly and discovered that the foundation had been compromised due to soil settling, which was caused by fluctuating moisture levels. The intense summer heat had caused the clay beneath the concrete slab to contract, resulting in one side of the house sinking—a common issue in the region.
Understanding Sarah’s concerns, we explained that if left unchecked, the settling could lead to more severe damage. To address the issue, we recommended installing two Helical piers under a corner of the structure to provide additional support and prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the quick response and clear explanation of the solution.
Once the job was completed, Sarah was relieved to see the cracks close up, a visible sign that her home was now secure. With the foundation stabilized, she felt reassured, knowing her home was safe and future problems had been prevented.
In Bristol, VA, a previous customer of Master Services reached out to us for assistance, having previously had their crawlspace encapsulated by our team a couple of years ago. The issue at hand was unstable floors, which had begun to sink and warp over time, likely due to mold growth and soil settling. Upon inspection, our team pinpointed the poor quality of the supporting wood beams as the underlying cause. To effectively remedy this issue, Master Services deployed our trusted Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are specifically designed to provide robust support for sagging floors, especially in confined spaces like crawlspaces. Our crew installed them while ensuring not to disturb the previous encapsulation, offering a long-term solution that can be adjusted as needed over time.
Our team went to Bristol, TN to address the issue of a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture problems, many houses eventually settle, leading to cracks, stuck doors, and other issues. To prevent further damage, we installed helical piers. This system offers support to weakened foundations, anchoring them to stable surrounding soils.
In Bristol, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services regarding cracks that had appeared within the walls of their residential building. After a comprehensive evaluation of the foundation, our team concluded that soil erosion, especially due to the sandy soil composition, was responsible for these cracks. The concrete slab supporting the house was settling because of the sandy soil's natural contraction. Neglecting this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to offer substantial foundation reinforcement, especially within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-lasting stability and protection for their property.
Master Services was contacted by a homeowner in Bristol, TN who had noticed "ladder" cracks along the walls. Our team conducted a thorough inspection and determined that the foundation required immediate attention to prevent further damage and instability. After careful consideration, we decided that the best solution would be to install helical piers, which are well-suited for the local terrain. These piers provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation and offer long-lasting stability.
Through the installation of these helical piers, we were able to restore the homeowner's peace of mind by ensuring that their property was safe and stable for years to come.
