In Kingsport, TN, a couple reached out to Master Services regarding concerns about "ladder cracks" on their home's exterior walls. After assessing the foundation, our team determined that soil subsidence was causing these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house was sinking due to the contraction of clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. If left unattended, this could compromise the overall structural integrity of the residence. To avert further deterioration, we advised the installation of helical piers, specifically engineered to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly in the local clay terrain. Through the implementation of these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also ensured enduring stability and protection for their property.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a significant bowed foundation wall problem in Kingsport, TN, which exhibited a sizable horizontal crack. This issue was mitigated using our I-Beam Wall Braces.
With the passage of time, the wall had developed cracks attributed to excess moisture from the external terrain. The homeowner was in search of a lasting solution for this spacious area and was particularly interested in reinforcing the garage walls.
Our installation of I-Beam Wall Braces stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil in its surroundings, thereby adding substantial support to the overall structural integrity of the house. The entire procedure was executed efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
Our team traveled to Kingsport, TN, to address a home settlement issue. During inspection, our home inspector noted vertical cracks in the crawlspace wall. Due to shifting soils and moisture problems, homes frequently settle, resulting in issues like cracks and stuck doors and windows, as observed in this case. This settlement compromises both the stability and market value of the home. To prevent further damage, our team installed Push piers. These devices utilize their design to secure stable soil beneath the house, offering immediate support and often restoring the house to its original height. Despite the confined space (between 4-5 feet), our skilled crew successfully completed the task.
Crawlspaces that lack encapsulation systems are open to a host of problems. Mold, mildew, wood rot, pests, nasty smells, and structural deterioration are rampant in crawlspaces that haven't been fortified against water. A crawlspace at a home in Kingsport, TN lacked a reliable encapsulation system, so Master Services encapsulated it with our incredible CleanSpace moisture barrier. This barrier is tear and mold resistant, and it protects against moisture and related damage.
