Master Services Before & After Photos

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.

The homeowner now enjoys a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient home, thanks to our crawlspace encapsulation and waterproofing services. If you're facing similar issues, contact Master Services for a free inspection and tailored solution.

In a newly built home near Athens, TN, a homeowner named John noticed unsettling cracks forming at the corner of his garage. Concerned about the potential for structural damage, he contacted Master Services for an inspection. Our team quickly identified that soil erosion had caused the foundation to settle, leading to a noticeable stair-step crack in the garage corner. 

To address the issue, we installed two helical piers—large screw-like supports designed to anchor the home into stable ground, preventing further settling. With the piers in place, the foundation is now secure, giving John peace of mind that his home will remain stable for years to come.

In a newly built home near Athens, TN, positioned on the side of a small hill with red clay soil, a homeowner noticed a troubling crack forming on the first floor. Concerned about the possibility of foundation damage, they reached out to Master Services for an expert assessment. Our inspection revealed that the combination of hillside construction and the clay-rich soil led to foundation settling, which caused the noticeable crack.

To resolve the issue, we installed four helical piers, screw-like supports that stabilize the home by anchoring it to solid ground. This solution prevents further settling, and with the piers in place, the foundation is now secure. The homeowner can rest easy knowing their property is protected against future shifts and will remain stable for years to come.
