A homeowner in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, a busy couple with young children, contacted Master Services after noticing a serious settlement issue in a smaller section of their home. The corner of this area developed a stair step crack measuring over 2 inches wide, causing major concerns about the home's stability.
Our Master Services home inspector quickly recommended immediate action, fearing the structure could collapse without prompt intervention. To address the problem, our team installed six Helical Piers, transferring the weight of the home to more stable soil. Through careful and precise work, we were able to almost completely close the gap, restoring both stability and peace of mind for the homeowners.
Thanks to Master Services, this family can now rest easy, knowing their home is secure for the long term!

The Master Services team visited a home in Hixson, TN that was having some concrete settlement issues. Over time, rain and extremes in temperature will cause the soil beneath concrete to shrink, swell, or wash away completely. The team injected this sidewalk with our amazing PolyLyft, which raises slabs to an even position.
A former client from Hixson, TN reached out to our team about a previously severe bowing wall in their foundation that had been reinforced with Carbon Fiber by Master Services. The client requested that we install a waterproofing solution to keep the basement dry. After conducting a thorough inspection, we determined that an efficient water collection and redirection system was necessary. Our recommended solution included the installation of our reliable perimeter water guard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump, which are specifically designed to collect and channel water away from basements. This solution guarantees that any water infiltration is securely collected and directed towards the TripleSafe pump, which has three layers of protection, including an additional pump for handling extreme loads, and an external battery for uninterrupted operation during power outages.
Master Services recently addressed a concrete sidewalk issue in Hixson, TN, with prompt and effective solutions. Our experienced team quickly identified the cause as concrete settling, a common occurrence, especially during the summer months when higher temperatures impact the cement structure. Once we pinpointed the critical areas, we utilized PolyLyft, a revolutionary product designed for lifting and leveling various surfaces, including sunken concrete slabs.
The PolyLyft process involves injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area, gently raising the sunken slab back to its original position. This approach offers a cost-effective and permanent solution to the problem. By opting for PolyLyft, the homeowner not only saves time and money but also ensures a long-lasting remedy for their concrete sidewalk.
