Master Services Before & After Photos

In Bristol, VA, a concerned homeowner named Sarah reached out to Master Services after noticing large cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement. Worried about the structural integrity of her home, she wanted answers. Our home inspector arrived promptly and discovered that the foundation had been compromised due to soil settling, which was caused by fluctuating moisture levels. The intense summer heat had caused the clay beneath the concrete slab to contract, resulting in one side of the house sinking—a common issue in the region.

Understanding Sarah’s concerns, we explained that if left unchecked, the settling could lead to more severe damage. To address the issue, we recommended installing two Helical piers under a corner of the structure to provide additional support and prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the quick response and clear explanation of the solution.

Once the job was completed, Sarah was relieved to see the cracks close up, a visible sign that her home was now secure. With the foundation stabilized, she felt reassured, knowing her home was safe and future problems had been prevented.

Master Services recently finished a crawlspace encapsulation project in Bristol, VA, aimed at protecting against water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pest infestations. For this task, we opted for the dependable CleanSpace® Wall system, which is securely attached to the basement walls using carefully drilled plastic fasteners for enhanced stability. Furthermore, our home inspectors suggested the utilization of the Sedona dehumidifier to effectively control moisture levels and prevent mold growth. These two systems work in tandem to establish an ideal crawlspace environment, effectively managing moisture and mold.

Our team was called upon to evaluate an outdated support jack that had been installed in a residence located in Bristol, VA. Over time, this method proved inadequate in supporting the weight of the upper level, leading to potential structural problems, such as wall cracks and floor instability. Nevertheless, we effectively addressed the issue by employing our skilled SmartJacks system. Our solution offers robust support, preventing any future settling and even restoring the floor to its original position, ensuring a lasting resolution. The customer was delighted with the successful outcome!

Recently, the Master Services team visited a residence in Bristol, VA, where settlement issues had affected the outside cement slab. The sinking and shifting of concrete can occur due to soil erosion and temperature fluctuations, resulting in cracks. To address this problem, we utilized the PolyLyft injection method, which effectively lifts and stabilizes the concrete surface by expanding it. As a result, our client now enjoys a secure and stable platform to walk on, providing them with the much-needed stability they required.

In Bristol, VA, a homeowner contacted Master Services to improve their crawlspace. Our inspection revealed soil with signs of water pooling in various areas and deterioration and rusting of the existing hydraulic jacks. This raised concerns about mold growth and potential damage to the floor beams.

To address these issues, we recommended installing a dependable CleanSpace moisture barrier as an initial defense. This barrier effectively protects the crawlspace by preventing the rise of humidity levels, thus inhibiting mold growth and the rusting of existing support devices.
