In Saint Paul, VA, a homeowner contacted Master Services with concerns about "ladder cracks" in the outer walls of their house. Upon evaluating the foundation, our team identified soil subsidence as the cause of the cracks. The cement slab on which the house was built was sinking due to contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. Left unaddressed, this problem could jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended installing helical piers, specifically designed to offer significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.
We encapsulated a crawlspace not far from Nora, VA that had an influx of humidity. Humidity creates the right conditions for mold, mildew, and rot, so the homeowner was eager to have the problem remediated. To do so, we installed our CleanSpace moisture barrier, which protects below-grade areas from moisture.
Our team visited a home near Clinchco, VA to check out a moist crawlspace. Moisture means mold, mildew, and wood rot, which will impact the rest of the home if left untreated. To avoid these problems, our team installed our CleanSpace moisture barrier, which shields crawlspaces from water and associated damage.
A homeowner in Blountville, Tennessee was concerned about water leakage in his mother's home, as they were getting ready to sell it. They were worried that the flooding issue would affect the property's value. They had already noticed mold in some of the room's corners. Our team knew how to best address this issue. We installed a CleanSpace wall vapor barrier and a TripleSafe sump pump, which work together to provide the best protection against water damage.
Master Services was called to address the issue of settling soil by a homeowner in Blountville, TN. Over time, foundation settling can worsen and lead to problems such as uneven floors, cracks, and obstructed doors and windows. With passing of time, the homeowner noticed visible cracks on the second floor. To effectively address this problem, our team installed helical piers that reinforce the foundation, providing long-term stability to mitigate further settling issues. We were able to achieve this without disruptive treatment and in a reasonable amount of time.
