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.
A homeowner in Kingsport, TN had a front sidewalk and porch that were sinking. Master Services visited to inject it with our PolyLyft, a high-density product that raises sinking concrete to its original position within minutes!
A homeowner from Kodak, TN reached out to Master Services to report some cracks on the exterior wall of their house. Upon inspection, our team noticed irregularities around the perimeter and determined that the foundation was settling around one corner of the residence. To rectify the situation, we utilized our push pier system to reposition and stabilize the house.
The push pier system is designed to provide permanent foundation support by transferring the weight of the structure to a stable soil layer. By doing so, it effectively counteracts the settling of the foundation, which helps to prevent further damage to the structure. Our team's implementation of this system successfully resolved the issue, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the residence.
Our crew at Master Services recently assessed a weakened basement wall in a residence near Kingsport, TN. Our inspector determined that the damage was caused by hydrostatic pressure from the exterior, and the homeowner was concerned that it could lead to more serious structural damage over time. To secure the wall, our crew installed our I-Beam wall braces, which are a reliable option for stabilizing walls when wall anchors cannot be used due to soil conditions or property line restrictions.
In Kingsport, TN, a homeowner sought assistance from Master Services regarding concerns about their house's foundation. Upon examining the perimeter of the structure, our team determined that the cracks were a result of soil subsidence. If this issue was not addressed, it had the potential to compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further harm, we advised the installation of helical piers, which are well-suited for the local clay terrain. These piers are specifically designed to reinforce the foundation significantly, ensuring long-term stability.
