A homeowner in Knoxville, TN contacted Master Services regarding concerns about cracks appearing on their support walls. Upon assessing the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.
In Knoxville, TN, our skilled team from Master Services took on the task of sealing a crawlspace to guard it against issues related to moisture and mold. The crawlspace had a previous encapsulation with subpar material that wasn't properly secured, resulting in tears and water accumulation. To ensure a dry crawlspace environment, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, well-known for its durability and effectiveness.
With precision, we securely attached the system to the basement walls using plastic fasteners, ensuring a strong and steadfast connection through careful drilling. Recognizing the significance of moisture control, we also recommended the installation of the Sedona dehumidifier. This essential device played a vital role in maintaining optimal moisture levels within the crawlspace, effectively preventing the growth of mold.
In Knoxville, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding the appearance of cracks in the walls of their residential building. Following a thorough assessment of the foundation, our team determined that soil erosion, particularly due to the sandy composition of the soil, was the root cause of these cracks. The concrete slab supporting the house was settling as a result of the natural contraction of the sandy soil. Neglecting this issue had the potential to compromise 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 foundation reinforcement, particularly effective within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only instilled confidence in the homeowner but also ensured long-term stability and protection for their property.
Sidewalks can create tripping hazards due to soil erosion or drought. To fix this threat, Master Services injects holes along the concrete at strategically placed intervals. Next, the team injects these holes with PolyLyft, which expands and lifts the slab.
Crawlspaces can become moldy and musty if left unchecked. Master Services repaired this crawlspace in Knoxville, TN, by encapsulating it with our durable CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier. Now the space will remain dry and energy-efficient.
