Master Services Before & After Photos

In Atkins, VA, a homeowner approached Master Services for assistance in upgrading their crawlspace. After conducting a thorough inspection, we identified an issue with the existing plastic sheet covering the ground. It was found to be thin and inadequate in providing long-term protection. Multiple tears and rips in the plastic had resulted in stagnant water pools, leading to the growth of mold and potential damage to the floor beams. To address these concerns, we proposed the installation of a reliable CleanSpace moisture barrier as the initial line of defense. This specially designed barrier effectively controls the levels of water and moisture, preventing them from raising humidity in the crawlspace. By doing so, it inhibits the growth of mold and spores, ensuring a healthier and safer environment.

Master Service received a call regarding an issue with a compromised foundation wall in Abingdon, VA. Upon conducting our inspection, we noticed clear signs of hydrostatic pressure and understood the urgent requirement for intervention. After thoughtful deliberation, our team opted to implement the Plate anchor wall system, which offers a cost-effective and non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged foundation walls. This wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, utilizing the soil's stability as a support to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the outcome, particularly appreciating the minimal disruption to their yard during the process.

In Abingdon, VA, Master Services tackled the improvement of a church crawlspace that had been previously encapsulated with subpar materials installed by the contractor. The insufficient installation and the use of thin materials led to the covering's deterioration, resulting in water pooling inside the area. Following a comprehensive inspection, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Vapor barrier, known for its durability and effectiveness in preventing water infiltration. With this system in place, we were able to improve the air quality for the entire church and add an additional clean storage area!

Our company responded to a request from Abingdon, VA, to stabilize a home's foundation. Upon inspection, our team identified the root cause: the foundation wall was cracking due to excessive moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. Inside the house crawlspace, there were significant horizontal and stair-step cracks. To prevent further damage, our team installed four Wall Plate Anchors. These anchors stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing additional support to the house's overall structure.

Our team visited a residence near Abingdon, VA to assess some sagging beams in the basement. Unfortunately, some contractors use beams that are not of the proper size during the building process. Over time, the beams can also rot, move, and settle. To address the issue, we implemented our SmartJacks system, which provides a permanent solution by reinforcing the weakened beams.
