Master Services Before & After Photos

In Castlewood, VA, a home experienced foundation sinking, prominently evidenced by one of its window frames. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. Strategically drilling holes and installing three helical piers at key points achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, guaranteeing the house remains secure for years to come.

Concerned about the safety of their children running and playing around the pool, a homeowner near Castlewood, VA, noticed that the pool deck had settled, causing cracks and creating tripping hazards. To address this issue, our team used PolyLyft, a specialized product that expands and raises the slab to a level position. By injecting PolyLyft, we efficiently restored the pool deck, eliminating the tripping risks and ensuring a safe and level surface for the homeowner and their family. This solution effectively prevented further deterioration, providing a lasting and reliable resolution for the settled pool deck.

The Master Services team recently tackled a serious bowed foundation wall issue in Castlewood, VA. The basement, which doubled as a parking area, showed a large horizontal crack and significant efflorescence. Over time, the wall had cracked due to excessive moisture in the surrounding soil, prompting the homeowner to seek a reliable solution for reinforcing their garage walls.

Our approach involved installing I-Beam Wall Braces, which stabilize the wall by anchoring into the sturdier soil outside. By reinforcing the overall structure, this method ensures that the newly secured basement-garage area remains safe and reliable for years to come.

The team visited a basement near Dryden, VA that was accumulating water during heavy rains. This is a common problem for below-grade spaces, but it can lead to big headaches for residents! Wet basements attract mold, mildew, wood rot, and pests. To protect this one, our team installed our reliable TripleSafe sump pump system, which offers three levels of protection and works even during a power outage. 

We showed up to a home not far from Tannersville, VA to see about encapsulating the crawlspace. The area was moist and dank. We fixed this by installing our CleanSpace encapsulation system, which will prevent water from overrunning the area and creating problems like mold, mildew, wood rot, and odors.
