A Master Services home inspector was dispatched to evaluate a cozy log cabin in Dalton, GA, where a basement wall had suffered significant damage after a recent heavy rainfall. At the end of a comprehensive assessment, we deduced that the damage was likely due to external pressure.
To fortify the wall, our team employed the wall plate anchor system. This system employs the stable surrounding soil to halt further damage and strengthen the primary structure, without resorting to invasive and more costly procedures.
In Dalton, GA, Master Services recently addressed a concrete sidewalk issue. Over time, concrete naturally hardens, leading to the development of cracks. Our home inspector swiftly identified poorly compacted soil beneath the concrete slab as the root cause. To provide a prompt solution, we recommended our innovative PolyLyft method. PolyLyft is specifically engineered to elevate and level various surfaces, including sunken concrete slabs. This process entails injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area to gently raise the sunken slab back to its original position. Unlike traditional methods like complete concrete replacement, PolyLyft offers a cost-effective and long-lasting solution. Choosing PolyLyft not only saves homeowners time and money but also ensures a durable fix for their concrete sidewalk.
Our team headed to a home near Trenton, GA to check out some sagging beams in the crawlspace. Unfortunately, contractors often use undersized beams during the construction process. Beams also rot, shift, and settle with the passage of time. To fix the problem, we installed our SmartJacks system, which permanently fixes the problem by bolstering the weakening beams.
The team at Master Services in Trenton, GA sealed a crawlspace to mitigate issues such as water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pest invasions. To achieve this, they utilized the resilient CleanSpace® Wall system, secured to the basement walls with plastic fasteners for lasting stability. Additionally, their home inspectors suggested implementing the Sedona dehumidifier to manage moisture levels and prevent mold development. These combined systems establish an ideal environment in the crawlspace, effectively controlling moisture and inhibiting mold growth.
