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.
The Master Services team headed to a home near Lupton City, TN to fix serious problems with the foundation. Settlement often occurs when soils shift or erode, causing cracks and other problems. To fix this home, we installed both helical and push piers, which will stabilize and secure the foundation to prevent further damage.
In Rossville, GA, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks in their crawlspace walls. Upon a thorough inspection, our home inspector determined that soil erosion, likely caused by changes in water concentration around the house, was the primary reason behind these cracks. This issue is common, particularly during abrupt temperature changes. Overlooking this problem could potentially jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, especially within the local terrain. By incorporating these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and safeguarded their property.
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.
A homeowner in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, a busy couple with young children, contacted Master Services after noticing a serious settlement issue in a smaller section of their home. The corner of this area developed a stair step crack measuring over 2 inches wide, causing major concerns about the home's stability.
Our Master Services home inspector quickly recommended immediate action, fearing the structure could collapse without prompt intervention. To address the problem, our team installed six Helical Piers, transferring the weight of the home to more stable soil. Through careful and precise work, we were able to almost completely close the gap, restoring both stability and peace of mind for the homeowners.
Thanks to Master Services, this family can now rest easy, knowing their home is secure for the long term!
