Our team traveled to Elizabethton, TN to assess and strengthen a settling home. As a result of shifting soils and moisture concerns, many homes gradually settle, leading to issues like cracks, jammed doors and windows, and other structural problems. To prevent further deterioration, our team installed helical piers, focusing on supporting a specific column. This system offers reinforcement to weakened foundations by anchoring them to stable surrounding soils.
A veteran in Elizabethton, TN noticed unsettling dips in his kitchen floor that caused windows to stick and created an uneven surface throughout the space. Having had the crawl space fully encapsulated by our company last year, the homeowner was already familiar with the quality and reliability of our work. When the new issues arose, the homeowner decided to reach out to us again to complete the necessary repairs, confident in our ability to address any concerns effectively.
Our home inspector responded promptly, conducting a thorough assessment of the crawl space to determine the root causes of the floor irregularities. It was clear that additional reinforcements were needed to ensure the long-term stability of the house floor.
Based on our comprehensive evaluation our skilled crew installed two rows of adjustable SmartJacks at key locations beneath the kitchen floor. These robust jacks were meticulously placed to reinforce weakened beams and restore the floor to an even level. By the end of the project, the homeowner was extremely pleased with the results, grateful to have a stable and smooth basement floor once more, and reassured by the lasting protection provided.
Uneven foundations can cause cracks like in this before picture! Cracks can be caused by soil erosion or settling of the home.
This home in Hampton, TN called Master Services to take a look at their home because the family noticed the floor of the living room was uneven. The door frame was bent and crooked. Rather than waiting to let the home repair itself, the family called a master to lift their home up using helical piers and repair the damage of the home.
Not only is the home repaired from previous damage, the use of piers will reinforce the home from settling again.
The walls in this home near Honaker, VA were undergoing settlement problems. Signs of settlement include cracks, sloping or springy floors, creaking floors, and other problems. To address the damage, we installed our Carbon Fiber Reinforcement straps, which stabilize and strengthen failing walls.
Our company responded to a request from Abingdon, VA, to stabilize a home's foundation. Upon inspection, our team identified the root cause: the foundation wall was cracking due to excessive moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. Inside the house crawlspace, there were significant horizontal and stair-step cracks. To prevent further damage, our team installed four Wall Plate Anchors. These anchors stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing additional support to the house's overall structure.
