Master Services Before & After Photos

In La Fayette, GA, the team at Master Services took on the challenge of improving a crawlspace previously encapsulated with subpar materials by the home builder a few years ago. Over time, these materials deteriorated, causing issues such as dropped insulation, resulting in cold floors in the winter and mold growth in the summer. To address these problems, we began by isolating the crawlspace environment by sealing the vents. We then opted for the reliable CleanSpace® system, renowned for its durability and effectiveness. This system not only reduces humidity within the crawlspace but also features a water guard system to divert any water infiltration away from the area. Additionally, we installed our SilverGlo wall insulation system, enhancing energy efficiency by preventing heat from escaping below-grade spaces. This comprehensive solution not only improves the functionality of the area but also adds an aesthetically pleasing touch to it.

In LaFayette, GA, a home experienced foundation sinking on its front porch, with cracks appearing on the left column. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed three helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. By strategically drilling holes and installing helical piers at key points, they achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure the house remains secure for years to come.

A homeowner in LaFayette, GA, had previously encapsulated their crawlspace using subpar materials, but the results didn’t meet their needs. Wanting a more effective solution for long-term home protection, they contacted Master Services. Our crew performed a full encapsulation, covering the walls, floor, and support piers with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Additionally, we sealed the vents to isolate the crawlspace from outside air and installed a Sedona dehumidifier to stabilize humidity levels, creating an environment unfavorable for mold and spores to thrive. Now, the crawlspace is fully protected and the home is safe from moisture-related issues.

A homeowner in LaFayette, GA, contacted Master Services after discovering a long horizontal crack in their basement wall. Used for additional storage, the basement was under constant hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil, which had caused part of the wall to bow inward. Concerned about their home's structural stability and planning to eventually convert the basement into a garage, they needed a dependable solution.  

Before beginning work, we asked the homeowner to remove all belongings to create a safe and efficient workspace. During our inspection, we confirmed early signs of wall failure and recommended the PowerBrace™ system. This solution uses durable steel I-beams securely fastened to Geo-Lock anchors outside the basement via a long rod that leverages stable soil to provide immediate stabilization and allows gradual adjustments to restore the wall to its original position.  

Our team completed the project quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption to the property. Now, the homeowner has peace of mind, knowing their basement is stable, secure, and ready for future renovations.   

A home near Menlo, GA was having foundation issues. Cracks were appearing along the exterior and inside the crawlspace, which are tell-tale signs of settlement. To fix it, our team installed our helical pier system, which anchors the home to strong surrounding soils.
