Foundation Repair Photo Album: Helical Piers stabilized a house in Newport, TN
Lisa, a first-time homeowner in a charming cottage near Newport, TN, grew concerned when a widening stair-step crack appeared on an exterior wall, along with windows becoming harder to open—clear signs of structural issues. Determined to preserve the home she inherited from her grandparents, Lisa sought help from Master Services. Our team quickly identified soil erosion beneath the foundation as the cause and installed four helical piers to stabilize the structure by anchoring it to stable soil layers. The crew also raised the affected wall segment, closing most of the crack, all within a single day with minimal disruption.
