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.
In Five Points, TN, the skilled team at Master Services undertook the project of enhancing a crawlspace that had been previously encapsulated with inadequate materials by the home builder. Over time, these materials deteriorated, resulting in problems like water pooling and mold formation inside the crawlspace. To tackle this issue, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its durability and effectiveness. This system not only decreases humidity in the crawlspace but also improves the overall air quality in your home. Once encapsulated, this area can now be used as additional storage space.
This crawlspace in Lawrenceville, GA had a common problem: its supportive beams and floor joists were sagging. The damage would only continue and grow more extensive without remediation, so our team installed our dependable and hardy SmartJacks system. This system provides support to the weakening elements, and it can be tightened should further support be needed.
Our team visited a crawlspace in Smyrna, GA that lacked humidity protection. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which acts as a shield between damaging water and vulnerable spots in the crawlspace.
