In Mt. Carmel, TN, the foundation of a charming cottage with stone walls, built atop a sandy hill, began to settle. This issue was primarily due to the loose and poorly compacted terrain beneath the structure. To tackle the problem, our team installed helical piers, which are large screw-like anchors that securely connect the home to the more stable ground below. These piers were carefully installed to the required depth and capacity, using steel foundation brackets to attach them to the footing. This solution ensures the home remains stable and secure for years to come.
Master Services recently addressed a settling foundation at a red brick home in Mt. Carmel, TN. We dug alongside the exterior wall at the exact spot where visible cracks indicated the structure was beginning to shift. Our team installed three Helical Piers in the clay-rich soil beneath the compromised area, effectively anchoring the home to more stable ground. These specialized piers feature plates that help pull them into the soil during installation and provide critical anchoring strength as the weight of the house is transferred to each pier. Thanks to this timely intervention, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is once again secure.
This homeowner in Surgoinsville, TN contacted Master Services due to a flooded basement. To keep the area clean and dry, the team installed our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This is one of our more robust perimeter drainage systems that collects and directs water out of basement areas.
Weather conditions can directly impact concrete. Drought, flooding, and soil erosion can lead to cracking and sinking, which is what happened with this driveway in Surgoinsville, TN. To fix it, the team injected the slab with PolyLyft. As the polyurethane expanded, it raised the slab.
Master Services headed to a home near Surgoinsville, TN to check out a damaged basement wall. Walls often buckle, crack, and bow due to hydrostatic pressure from the outside. To fix this home, our team installed our wall plate anchor system, which depends on strong surrounding soil to halt damage and support walls.
