Master Services recently tackled a sinking front porch at a home near Seymour, TN. The steps had nearly a half-inch gap from the cement slab, likely due to soil erosion from rain or poor soil compaction. To fix this, we used PolyLyft, injecting it beneath the steps. This innovative solution raised the front porch by expanding underneath and compacting the soil, effectively resolving the issue and ensuring a stable foundation for years to come.
A homeowner in Seymour, TN reached out to us concerning concerns about the condition of their house's crawlspace. The area was inadequately sealed and susceptible to water infiltration, especially during extended rainfall. To address this issue, we proposed our CleanSpace moisture barrier solution to ensure a dry and clean crawlspace environment. In conjunction with this, we recommended the use of our reliable Sedona dehumidifier. Together, these systems effectively collaborate to create a dry and mold-free crawlspace area.
In Seymour, TN, the Master Services team took on the task of sealing a crawlspace to protect it from potential issues. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated using inexpensive materials, which over time resulted in tears and the accumulation of water pools. The primary goal was to prevent water damage, mold formation, decay, odors, and pest infiltration into the area. To achieve this, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its durability and effectiveness. With precision, the system was securely attached to the basement walls using sturdy plastic fasteners, ensuring a strong and stable fit through careful drilling. The CleanSpace® Wall system not only creates additional storage space but also effectively manages moisture, preventing the growth of mold.
In Seymour, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services with concerns about some cracks on her garage floor. After our home inspector investigated the house, we determined that the foundation was experiencing settlement, a common issue when soils and the ground beneath a structure shift or erode. To resolve this problem, our team installed helical piers, which resemble large screws and anchor the home securely to the stable surrounding ground. Carefully installed to the required capacities and depth, these piers, connected to the footing with a steel foundation bracket, provide stability and should ensure the house remains stabilized for years to come.
Our team inspected a residence in Seymour, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners, having learned about Master Services from their neighbor who had fully encapsulated his crawlspace a few years ago, were keen to address potential issues. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load, as was the case here. To tackle this, we implemented our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly tackled the issue and offered a long-term remedy for a problem that could have exacerbated over time.
