Our team received a call from a homeowner in Crossville, TN, who needed assistance in reinforcing their basement wall due to the discovery of a long vertical crack. After our home inspector pinpointed the root causes of the issue, we recommended the use of our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the problem of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps are incredibly strong, comparable to steel, and offer the added benefit of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is especially significant for homeowners using the basement as additional living space, as these straps can be painted over to become virtually invisible.
A homeowner in Crossville, TN was concerned about damage to an exterior wall. They noticed cracks in the bricks and irregularities around the area. Master Services inspected the home and determined that the foundation was settling. To address the issue, we recommended our "Push Pier" system, which is designed to permanently stabilize and level the foundation.
Brad, a longtime homeowner in Crossville, TN, had always taken pride in maintaining his property. But recently, he noticed unsettling signs—stair-step cracks forming along the side of his house and doors that didn’t quite close properly. At first, he brushed it off, thinking it was minor wear and tear. But when a neighbor pointed out a slight tilt in his window frame, a sinking feeling set in. Something was definitely wrong. Worried about the stability of his home, Brad decided to call Master Services to investigate.
When our home inspector arrived, it became clear that the soil beneath Brad’s house had shifted, causing the foundation to settle unevenly. Knowing how much Brad valued his home, we recommended a solution that would provide long-term stability. Three helical piers, which act like giant screws anchoring deep into stable ground, were installed to prevent further settlement. This method works particularly well in East Tennessee’s clay-rich soil, providing the strength needed to support the structure.
After just one day of work, Brad watched as his wall was stabilized and the stair-step cracks began to close. The relief was instant—his home felt secure again, and he no longer had to worry about those troubling cracks spreading.
A residence near Pall Mall, TN was undergoing settlement. Settlement happens when soils around and under the home swell, shrink, or are washed away by water. Signs of settlement include cracks, both interior and exterior, sloping floors, stuck doors and windows, and more. To fix this home, Master Services installed wall anchors, which secure damaged foundation walls to avoid further damage.
Master Services recently tackled a settling foundation issue at this home in Harrison, TN. As you can see in the photo, the cinder block foundation showed visible cracks, confirming the structure was beginning to shift.
Our team installed four Helical Piers in the clay-rich soil beneath the compromised area, anchoring the home to more stable ground. Thanks to this quick intervention, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their foundation is secure once again!
