The home foundation near Athens, TN was experiencing settlement issues. Soil shifts or erosion can cause this, often resulting in compromised structural integrity. Our home inspector pinpointed a corner in need of extra support due to a significant stair-step crack. To resolve this issue, our team installed helical piers, which resemble large screws and securely anchor the home to stable surrounding ground. This implementation ensures the house is stabilized for the foreseeable future.
Master Services received a call regarding a compromised foundation wall in Athens, TN. During our inspection, we identified clear signs of hydrostatic pressure within the garage. After careful consideration, our team chose to implement the Plate anchor wall system as an effective solution. This system offers a non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors rely on the stability of the soil to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, specifically mentioning the minimal disruption caused to their yard during the process.
We recently addressed a concrete sidewalk issue in Athens, TN. A homeowner with a relatively new construction house contacted us for assistance. Our experienced team promptly identified the issue as concrete settling, a common occurrence often caused by poor soil compacting, and took care to inject the critical sites without affecting the foundation wall underneath. The PolyLyft process involves injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area, gently raising the sunken slab back to its original position. This approach provides a cost-effective and permanent solution to the problem. By choosing PolyLyft, the homeowner not only saves time and money but also ensures a long-lasting remedy for their concrete sidewalk.
Master Services recently completed a crawlspace encapsulation and waterproofing project in Athens, TN. The homeowner was experiencing issues with moisture, which can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality. Our team assessed the situation and recommended a comprehensive solution to protect the home.
We started by thoroughly cleaning the crawlspace, removing any debris and old insulation. Next, we installed a durable vapor barrier along the walls and floor to seal out moisture. This barrier helps prevent mold growth and keeps the crawlspace dry.
To further protect the crawlspace, we installed a reliable sump pump system to handle any water intrusion. Additionally, we added a dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels, ensuring the crawlspace remains dry and the air quality is improved.
