A former client from Hixson, TN reached out to our team about a previously severe bowing wall in their foundation that had been reinforced with Carbon Fiber by Master Services. The client requested that we install a waterproofing solution to keep the basement dry. After conducting a thorough inspection, we determined that an efficient water collection and redirection system was necessary. Our recommended solution included the installation of our reliable perimeter water guard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump, which are specifically designed to collect and channel water away from basements. This solution guarantees that any water infiltration is securely collected and directed towards the TripleSafe pump, which has three layers of protection, including an additional pump for handling extreme loads, and an external battery for uninterrupted operation during power outages.
Master Services recently addressed a concrete sidewalk issue in Hixson, TN, with prompt and effective solutions. Our experienced team quickly identified the cause as concrete settling, a common occurrence, especially during the summer months when higher temperatures impact the cement structure. Once we pinpointed the critical areas, we utilized PolyLyft, a revolutionary product designed for lifting and leveling various surfaces, including sunken concrete slabs.
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 offers a cost-effective and permanent solution to the problem. By opting for PolyLyft, the homeowner not only saves time and money but also ensures a long-lasting remedy for their concrete sidewalk.
In Hixson, TN, a resident reached out to Master Services seeking improvements for their crawlspace support. Our experienced team conducted a thorough evaluation, identifying specific areas in need of reinforcement.

These specialized jacks provide robust support for weakened crawlspace beams, offering a durable solution for sagging floors. Notably, Smart Jacks are highly adjustable and adaptable to accommodate various crawlspace needs.
A crawlspace in Hixson, TN, had been previously encapsulated with insufficient plastic sheeting that failed to prevent water vapor from infiltrating the area, rendering it susceptible to water intrusion, mold, mildew, rot, and structural damage. To address this problem, we chose the dependable CleanSpace® Wall system, renowned for its durability and efficacy. This system provides multiple layers of protection, reducing humidity in the crawlspace and enhancing overall air quality in your home. Once encapsulated, each layer is securely affixed to the walls, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
A large building in Hixson, TN exhibited visible cracks in its exterior walls and window frames, indicating foundation settling. Our inspector quickly identified the root cause: seasonal changes caused the surrounding soil to expand and contract, exerting pressure on the foundation over time. To address this issue, our team installed several helical piers beneath the cement footing to anchor the foundation securely to stable ground. These piers, installed with precision using a steel bracket, ensure long-term stabilization, providing stability for years to come.
