Our team at Master Services received a call from a homeowner residing in Cisco, GA who had been dealing with settling problems caused by the clay soil. Upon conducting a thorough inspection of the property, we realized that the foundation was in dire need of immediate attention to prevent further damage and instability.
We determined that the best course of action would be to install helical piers. These piers are perfect for the local terrain as they provide excellent reinforcement to the foundation and offer long-lasting stability. Additionally, they do not cause significant disruptions to the outside yard during the installation process.
By installing 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.
Our company answered a call from Chattanooga, TN, to stabilize a settling home. Upon arrival, our team pinpointed the core issue: the prevalent shifting soils and moisture problems in the area that often result in home settling, leading to problems such as cracks, stuck doors, and windows. To avert additional damage, our team implemented helical piers, a solution designed to minimize disruption to the house yard. This system provides crucial support to weakened foundations, anchoring them securely to resilient surrounding soils.
Signs of foundation settlement include cracks, stuck doors and windows, springy or sloping floors, and other structural irregularities. A homeowner near Whiteside, TN noticed some of these signs around his home and called out our team to inspect the foundation. We performed a thorough inspection, then recommended our helical pier system to remedy the settlement. This system features piers that look like gigantic screws, and it provides serious stabilization to failing structures.
A homeowner in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, sought help from Master Services due to unstable floors in their basement. They had been using the basement as an additional living space, but over time, the kitchen floor began to sink and warp, likely due to mold and soil settling. Upon inspection, our team identified the poor quality of the support wood beams as the root cause. To effectively address this issue, Master Services utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are designed to provide durable support for sagging floors. Our crew installed them by drilling directly into the cement footing, offering a long-term solution that can be adjusted over time.
