Concrete Leveling & Slab Jacking in Hamilton County

The sunken and cracked concrete around your Hamilton County home is both an eyesore and a safety hazard. It is also likely to get worse, but we can fix it for you.

We use slab jacking or mudjacking for smaller jobs such as leveling sidewalks, patios, driveways, and pool decks. Precise holes are drilled into your slab. Then a specialized mortar-like grout or "mud" is pumped, under pressure, to raise and level your slab. The holes are filled with concrete and troweled smooth. Most jobs can be completed in one day. For larger jobs we use slab piers. These can be used to correct large sections of concrete such as warehouse slabs. Call us today to learn more.

Job Stories From Hamilton County, TN
Waterproofing a Basement in Chattanooga, TN

This Chattanooga homeowner had a spacious basement—but it was flooding! To fix the problem, Kieran and the team installed one of Master Services’ failsafe waterproofing systems.

To collect water and direct it out of the basement, the team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our most reliable system, the TripleSafe™ provides three levels of protection to keep basement areas clean and dry, even in the event of a power outage.  

Next, our WaterGuard® Drainage System was installed underneath the perimeter of the basement floor. This ensured that water wouldn’t have an opportunity to collect in the area. The customer also decided to go with the IceGuard® Discharge Line System, an anti-freezing component that is installed outside of the home and directs water away from the home in the event of a frozen or clogged sump pump discharge line.

Now this homeowner can rest easy knowing that her basement is water—and ice—proof.

Concrete Raising with PolyLyft in Hixson, TN

Horace and his team recently had a PolyLyft project in Hixson, TN. The homeowner was concerned about the sidewalk in front of his home, and he called the Master Services team out to work their concrete-leveling magic.

Concrete can shift for a variety of reasons, including from soil erosion, drought, or too much moisture. Concrete is heavy and too much rain can wash the soil away, or cause the slab to sink. When there’s a drought, the soil shrinks and shifts the concrete.

To fix the sidewalk, the team drilled holes at strategic intervals to make room for injection ports. These were then injected with our durable, high-density PolyLyft. This fills the holes and expands, raising the slab to an even position.

The sidewalk looked like new by the time our team was done, and the homeowner was thrilled with our work.

Concrete Lifting for a Pool Slab in Ooltewah, TN

Horace and his team recently had a PolyLyft project in Ooltewah, TN. The concrete deck surrounding the homeowner’s pool had shifted, creating a tripping hazard.

To fix the problem, the team injected the slab with PolyLyft. This high-density material expands and as it does, raises the slab to an even position. Once this process was finished, the team made sure to cover over the strategically placed injection sites.

By the time the team was finished, there was little risk of anyone falling and hurting themselves—which is especially important around a pool.

Waterproofing a Basement in Chattanooga, TN

This business in Chattanooga, TN needed some help. The basement was flooding and the owner needed a system in place to keep water out of the area. Cue Master Services.

To waterproof the basement, Kieran and his team worked along the perimeter with jackhammers to create a path for our sump pump system. Once this was in place, they installed a TripleSafe™, which is our most robust waterproofing system. This system provides three pumps in one, and will work even after a power outage. 

With this level of protection in place, the owner can rest assured that the basement will be protected and dry.

Using Helical Piers to Lift a Foundation in Chattanooga, TN

This Chattanooga, TN homeowner contacted Master Services to repair foundation settlement issues. To address the foundation problems, the team installed helical piers to stabilize and realign the structure.

Helical piers are used in situations when bedrock is lacking, and feature plates that are welded to the pier shaft. These plates anchor the piers to the soil as they are driven beneath a structure. Helical piers transfer the weight of a structure to the surrounding soil using a “friction lock,” which provides additional support.

This was a particularly tough job, but the team did their best to lift the home and pushed the piers to their limits. In the end, the homeowner was pleased with Master Services’ hard work and determination to raise the structure.

Installing the SmartJack® System in Apison, TN

This home in Apison, TN was shifting due to foundation settlement. Sagging beams, rotten wood, sloping floors, and other structural issues are all signs of foundation settlement.

To fix the problem, Master Services installed our SmartJack® system. These joist repair posts provide support to sagging and undersized beams, and they restore structural stability to homes. First, the team mapped out each location for the support jack and then excavated a 2’ square, 2’ deep hole at each location. These sites were then filled with tightly compacted crushed stone.

A pre-cast footing was installed atop the fill site and carefully leveled. This serves as a base for the jack post and keeps it vertical to distribute the weight properly. Next, the jack posts were cut to length and then assembled within the crawl space. The top of the smart jack was mounted against the girder, then each smart jack is tightened to lift the floor back to its original—or as close to original—position. These jacks are adjustable, meaning that they can be tightened in the future if necessary.

By the time the team was finished, the homeowner was thrilled that his crawlspace had the support and structure it needed.

Lifting a Concrete Pool Deck in Signal Mountain, TN

This homeowner in Signal Mountain, TN took a lot of pride in his pool area, so he was dismayed to notice cracks forming in the concrete slab. Not only are cracks unattractive, but they can present serious safety hazards if someone were to trip over one.

The homeowner called Master Services to come out and work our magic!

First, the team drilled holes at strategic intervals along the concrete slab. Then, they injected each hole with our high-density PolyLyft. As the PolyLyft expands, it raises the surrounding concrete to a level position. Even better, the PolyLyft cures in just about 30 minutes!

The homeowner was thrilled to have his pool area back to normal.

Rehabbing A Crawlspace in Signal Mountain, TN

This home in Signal Mountain, TN was built in the 60s, so it definitely qualified as a bit of an “antique.” Water was constantly entering the crawlspace and leaving things dank, musty, and, potentially, moldy. The homeowner needed the area fixed before mold and rot settled in.

To keep these dangers away, the team installed our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier. The liner is installed along the floor and prevents humidity and flood water from impacting vulnerable areas. Without such a system in place, water can settle on wooden floor joists, beams, cardboard, insulation, and other areas. This can create rot, which in turn creates substantial repair costs.

This crawlspace should be safe with CleanSpace in place.

Raising a Pool Deck in Sale Creek, TN

The pool deck of this Sale Creek, TN home was sinking and sloping. Concrete slabs often shrink due to soil erosion. In other cases, an influx of rain washes away the soils beneath the concrete. Too little rain and the ground contracts and shrinks, causing damage and other irregularities to concrete.

This homeowner was concerned about tripping hazards. To fix the area, Master Services installed ports at strategic intervals along the slab. Next, they injected each port with our patented PolyLyft. This high-density product expands, filling voids and raising concrete to a level position. The PolyLyft cures in as little as 30 minutes, and it can be walked on that quickly.

The homeowner was pleased that we were able to lift his pool deck without a messy, disruptive process.

Repairing Cracked Exterior Walls in Signal Mountain, TN

This Signal Mountain, TN homeowner noticed cracks forming in the exterior walls of his residence. He’d been in the house for over 30 years and had consulted other companies about fixing the issue, but wasn’t convinced that they offered the best solution. He needed the cause of the cracks fixed, not just a cosmetic fix for the cracks.

The Master Services team knew that the issue was due to settlement. Over time, the soils under and around a structure shift. This happens because of flooding, soil erosion, and extremes in temperature. As the structure settles, cracks and other issues become apparent. Over time, these changes can lead to costly repairs.

Master Services installed our helical piers, which secure the home to stronger soils around the property. The piers provide durable stabilization and security, meaning the house will no longer shift and settle. With a system like this in place, the home is protected against further cracks or structural damage.

Our PolyLyft Raises a Concrete Patio in Birchwood, TN

This Birchwood, TN patio area was sinking. Sidewalks, patios, walkways, driveways, and other cement areas can settle due to several factors. In this case, the patio likely shifted due to soil being washed away by rain.

To fix the problem, the Master Services team drilled injection sites at intervals along the patio. Each site was then injected with PolyLyft, which is a miracle product when it comes to concrete leveling. The polyurethane expands as it fills voids beneath the concrete, effectively raising the slab to an even position. PolyLyft cures within an hour and can be walked on the same day.

PolyLyft Raises a Sidewalk in Hixson, TN

A home in Hixson, TN had a front sidewalk that was shifting due to settlement. Extremes in temperature and rainfall often will cause soil to swell, shrink, or wash away. This causes concrete to shift, sink, and crack. 

To fix concrete settlement, Master Services turns to PolyLyft. The team drills holes along the slab, then injects each with high-density polyurethane. The polyurethane then expands, filling any voids and raising the slab to an even position. The PolyLyft cures within an hour and can be walked on soon after!

With PolyLyft in place, this sidewalk will be level and should present no tripping hazards!

Fixing a Sinking Foundation Near Bakewell, TN

A home near Bakewell, TN was experiencing foundation settlement due to shifting soils. Signs of settlement include cracked brick, unlevel floors, cracked concrete, leaning chimneys, and more. 

The Master Services team installed helical piers, which resemble enormous screws. These are used when there's insufficient bedrock to support the weight of the home. The helical piers feature plates which are welded to the pier shaft, then secured to resilient surrounding soils. This system provides dependable support and corrects settlement issues. 

With our piers installed, this home will be in good shape for years to come.

Crawlspace Encapsulation in Soddy Daisy, TN

A homeowner in Soddy Daisy, TN had lived in his home for a little over a year and planned on staying for many more. However, when he investigated his crawlspace, he noticed mold and fungus growth... along with a musty odor! To fix the area, the Master Services team installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Both systems mitigate moisture, eliminate odor, and keep areas sanitary.

Crawlspace Repair Near Collegedale, TN

A customer located near Collegedale, TN lived in a relatively new home, but she noticed some alarming issues developing in the floors above her crawlspace. The floors were sloping, and she also noticed cracks forming in close proximity. She was concerned about more extensive damage forming, so she called us out to work our magic.

We installed several products to ensure the health of the crawlspace: our CleanSpace vapor barrier, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and SmartJacks. The vapor barrier prevents moisture from passing through and creating mold, mildew, and rot, while the dehumidifier keeps the area sanitary and dry. The SmartJacks provide durable support to undersized beams and joists... and they're adjustable, meaning that they can be tightened if future conditions call for it.

Now that the home has jacks installed, the floors should have all the support they need.

Moisture Barrier Installation in Chattanooga, TN

A homeowner in Chattanooga, TN had lived in his home for just six months, but already was noticing problems in his crawlspace. He looked inside and noticed standing water, as well as moisture on the walls. He also noticed an unpleasant odor! Bad news!

Our team performed an inspection and recommended several systems that would protect the area and keep it sanitary, dry, and odor-free. We installed our CleanSpace moisture barrier and TripleSafe sump pump. These systems create a perfect strategy for combating mold and moisture. 

This homeowner has nothing more to worry about when it comes to the integrity of his crawlspace!

Mold Remediation in Soddy Daisy, TN

Our team was contacted by a homeowner in Soddy Daisy, TN who was concerned about the state of her crawlspace. She originally rented the home, but purchased it outright six months ago. She planned on living in the house for the rest of her life, so she wanted to take care of any issues before they became huge headaches. With mold inside a crawlspace, headaches usually are imminent!

Our team inspected the crawlspace and found an abundance of mold growth. When a crawlspace becomes inundated with water, it creates the perfect conditions for mold to grow. As it does, it releases spores into the air. Due to the "stack effect," air from the crawlspace rises into the upper levels of the home. This creates respiratory issues for residents, as well as headaches. 

Our team recommended our soda blasting system. This system involves "blasting" surfaces with sodium bicarbonate, which removes mold and sanitizes the area. It's a safe, eco-friendly way to combat mold and keep crawlspaces tidy! 

Repairing a Wall in Birchwood, TN

A homeowner in Birchwood, TN called us about some damaged walls in his basement. We took a look and suggested our minimally invasive Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement system. This method involves soaking carbon fiber strapping in epoxy and then pressing it against the damaged wall. The epoxy cures, providing stability to the wall and reinforcing it. This method can be disguised with paint or drywall.

Encapsulating a Crawlspace Near Collegedale, TN

Master Services was contacted by a customer near Collegedale, TN who recently purchased a home and was remodeling it. During the course of this project, he investigated the crawlspace and discovered moisture collecting in the area. He was going to rent out the home as soon as he finished fixing it, so he knew that the crawlspace needed a waterproofing system in place. 

 

He called out our team for an inspection. Our inspector concurred with the owner that the home definitely needed a moisture-proofing strategy. We recommended our CleanSpace moisture barrier and TripleSafe sump pump, among other products, to deter water, mildew, mold, pests, rot, and odors. The liner is tear and mold resistant and comes with a 25-year warranty. The TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, working even during a power outage.

 

The property owner can trust that he'll have no issues with the crawlspace from now on.

Repairing a Crawlspace in Chattanooga, TN

A homeowner in Chattanooga, TN was concerned about the state of her crawlspace, which lacked any kind of encapsulation or liner to protect it from moisture. Some homeowners consider crawlspace repair work to be unnecessary, not realizing the many problems that can arise from an unprotected space. Pests, mold, rot, mildew, and structural damage are common when crawlspaces are not fortified against water!

 

The Master Services team got to work installing our CleanSpace moisture barrier, as well as our TripleSafe sump pump. The barrier protects against the previously mentioned problems, while the pump collects water and directs it outside of the home via a perimeter drainage system. The water is deposited safely away from the home's foundation and landscaping.

Installation of Helical Piers in Collegedale, TN

In the rolling hills of Collegedale, Tennessee, Lukas B., a thoughtful homeowner, connected with Master Services about cracks emerging beneath his front porch. Our home inspector quickly determined that the damage was caused by soil movements, amplified by the incline the house perched upon. 

A practical solution emerged — helical piers, sturdy companions ready to anchor and uplift, especially attuned to the embrace of the local clay soil. Lukas, nodding to these reliable allies, not only found assurance but etched a commitment into the very essence of his property — a promise of enduring stability and unwavering security for his cherished abode.

Fixing a basement wall in Signal Mountain, TN

Cory C. noticed clear signs of water infiltration and early bowing on one of his basement walls. Worried about potential damage, he promptly contacted Master Services. After scheduling an appointment, a skilled home inspector assessed the basement and identified the root issue: hydrostatic pressure. Over time, water pressure from outside the basement was causing fractures in the wall. We recommended the installation of our Power Braces, which stabilized the wall by connecting it to the wooden beam joists and the cement floor. Importantly, this process didn't disrupt the home, landscaping, or surrounding property. Cory was satisfied, and he could now use the space as additional living space without concerns about further bowing of the wall.

Crawlspace renovated in Hixson, TN

Our company received a call from Jerome G. of Hixson, TN, who had previously had his crawlspace partially encapsulated by the home builder a few years ago. Concerned about a foul odor emanating from the crawlspace, Jerome discovered clear signs of mold, water condensation, and the first indications of wood warping on his beams. Following an appointment scheduled by our inspector, it became evident that Jerome's crawlspace required thorough attention and a proper encapsulation. Working within the confined space of 4 to 5 feet in height, our crew installed our CleanSpace system, a high-quality multilayered barrier designed for optimal resistance. This system, once securely installed, effectively captures any water or vapor infiltration. To further enhance heat insulation, we integrated our SilverGlo system, whose reflective surface redirects heat back into the crawlspace, ensuring optimal energy savings. Additionally, we complemented the CleanSpace system with our EZFlow perimeter drainage system, redirecting water towards the sump pump for proper disposal.

Basement wall Gets Waterproofing in Collegedale, TN

Matt E. noticed a significant amount of efflorescence (mineral residue) accumulating on one of the walls in his basement, which raised concerns about potential further damage. Promptly, he contacted Master Services, particularly because we had previously reinforced his basement walls with wall anchors a few months ago. Upon scheduling an appointment, one of our knowledgeable home inspectors visited his basement and identified the underlying issues: water seepage through the bricks leading to the formation of efflorescence, a white powdery residue often mistaken for mold. We recommended installing our Water Guard perimeter system in conjunction with a moisture barrier around the walls. This system would collect water from the outside, redirect it towards a sump pump, and then discharge it far away from the basement, effectively addressing the issue.

SmartJacks supported a floor in Collegedale, TN

Blair W. noticed her home's floors warping under her feet. After seeing one of our trucks working in her neighborhood, she decided to give us a call to explain the nature of her issue. Once we scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors, we explained to her that the problem could be easily resolved using our trusted SmartJacks. These devices are made of a rust-resistant alloy capable of withstanding the increasing pressure of the upper floor. We then installed four SmartJacks at strategic spots. Even in this tight space, our crew was able to dig the bases, install the jacks, and fill the holes, leaving the area free of debris.

 

With this solution in place, Blair has resolved her issues with sinking floors and has gained new confidence in the market value of her home.
