In Rossville, GA, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks in their crawlspace walls. Upon a thorough inspection, our home inspector determined that soil erosion, likely caused by changes in water concentration around the house, was the primary reason behind these cracks. This issue is common, particularly during abrupt temperature changes. Overlooking this problem could potentially jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, especially within the local terrain. By incorporating these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and safeguarded their property.
A homeowner in Ringgold, Georgia, reached out to Master Services due to sagging floor beams in their crawlspace. To address this issue effectively, we employed two Smart Jacks, specially designed for compact spaces. These specialized jacks provide robust support for weakened crawlspace beams, ensuring a long-lasting solution for sagging floors. They are easily adjustable and can be scaled to meet the specific needs of the crawlspace.
In Ringgold, GA, the skilled team at Master Services embarked on the task of sealing a crawlspace to protect it from mold and water damage. The existing thin plastic sheet that had previously been used to seal the crawlspace had deteriorated over time, resulting in unpleasant odors and weakening of the supporting wooden beams. To effectively address these concerns, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its durability and effectiveness. Through careful attachment using secure plastic fasteners and meticulous drilling, the system was firmly affixed to the basement walls, ensuring a strong and secure fit. This solution has successfully safeguarded the crawlspace, providing the homeowner with a more energy-efficient and worry-free home environment.
Master Services headed to a home in Flintstone, GA that had an influx of mold in the crawlspace. We not only installed our vapor barrier to protect vulnerable surfaces, but used our soda-blasting technique to eliminate existing mold.
The team visited a home in Lookout Mountain, GA that had a moisture issue in the crawlspace. Moisture creates a host of problems in below-grade spaces, not least of which are respiratory issues for residents and structural issues. To keep the space dry, we installed our vapor barrier and a reliable sump pump system.
