Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Richlands, VA. Our home inspector quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, after an appointment was scheduled, our production crew dug a small trench around the building and then installed several helical piers, which connect the cement footing to stable ground using steel brackets. The piers' unique design effectively grips the clay-rich soil, allowing us to close the cracks and restore stability to the home.
A homeowner in Shady Valley, TN had some cracked, bowing walls in his basement that needed stabilizing. Our inspector looked them over and recommended our Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement System, a minimally invasive and easily concealable technique that provides long-term support to walls. Best yet, the work can easily be painted over or concealed with drywall.
Our team headed up to Pounding Mill, VA to see about bolstering a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture issues, many houses eventually settle, which results in cracks, stuck doors and windows, and other problems. To stall further damage, our team installed helical piers. This system provides support to flagging foundations, anchoring them to resilient surrounding soils.
A homeowner near Whitetop, VA was worried about some damage she noticed around an exterior wall. Cracks were forming along the brick and she could see some irregularity around the area. Master Services inspected the home and confirmed that the foundation was undergoing settlement. We recommended our push pier system to realign and stabilize the home.
The Master Services team installed Wall Plate Anchors in Marion, VA to repair a wall that was displaying clear signs of water infiltration. The anchors secure the wall to the surrounding stable soil, providing additional structural support to the house.
