Master Services Before & After Photos

In Oak Ridge, TN, the Master Services team worked on sealing a crawlspace to protect it from potential problems. The crawlspace had been covered with cheap materials before, which didn't hold up well and will deteriorate over time. The main goal was to stop water damage, mold growth, decay, smells, and pests from getting into the area. To do this, we suggested using the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its toughness and effectiveness. Carefully, we attached the system to the basement walls using strong plastic fasteners, making sure it fit securely through accurate drilling. The CleanSpace® Wall system not only creates extra storage space but also handles moisture well, stopping mold growth effectively. Furthermore, we set up our Sump Pump System, designed to gather water and move it outside of the crawlspace.

In Oak Ridge, TN, the owner of a large building reached out to Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking in their foundation wall. After conducting a thorough foundation assessment, our team determined that soil erosion was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of clay soil, which is a common problem in this specific area of Tennessee. Failing to address this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the building.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured lasting stability and safeguarded the building against further sinking and damage.

Our team inspected a residence in Oak Ridge, TN, due to concerns about sagging beams in the crawlspace. The homeowner had previously installed a few support jacks, but additional support was needed, and an upgrade was desired. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load. To address this issue, we installed our SmartJacks system, a durable and adjustable steel pier. These supports aim to prevent further settling and potentially even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution immediately addressed the problem and provided a lasting fix for an issue that could have worsened over time.

In OakRidge, TN, a resident narrowly avoided tripping on their cement sidewalk, noticing erosion underneath causing cracking and settling. Typically, this occurs due to soil movement or temperature fluctuations affecting ground moisture levels. To remedy the situation, Master Services was contacted, and our team utilized PolyLyft to inject strategic points along the sidewalk. This specialized formula is engineered to permanently stabilize and elevate concrete slabs without major surface disruption. With a secure sidewalk, tripping hazards are now a thing of the past!

Our team recently worked on a large crawlspace near Oak Ridge, TN, which had been previously encapsulated with inadequate material that deteriorated over time, leading to mold growth on the joists. After a thorough inspection, our crew removed all debris and the old encapsulation, then sealed off the vents. Next, they installed our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace liner, which brightens the crawlspace and protects against moisture. To maintain stable humidity levels and prevent mold and spore growth year-round, we added our Sedona dehumidifier.
