A customer in Chuckey, TN had only been in the home for six months, but already noticed a problem in her basement. She detected a musty smell and noticed that water worked its way inside the area, usually after substantial rains. She wanted to use the basement as a storage area, but first needed it fortified against water. Our team installed several systems, including our TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier.
A homeowner near Chuckey, TN opted to encapsulate their crawlspace, intending to secure long-term home maintenance. Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, offering protection against mold, moisture, and common crawlspace issues.
Master Services received a call from Chuckey, TN, where a homeowner was dealing with a sinking driveway pad and needed assistance in restoring its height and stabilizing the concrete to prevent further settling. This issue is commonly caused by water from rain seeping underneath the concrete and washing away the soil, along with the weight of the concrete causing settlement.
To address this problem, our team utilized PolyLyft. This involved drilling holes at strategic intervals along the slab and injecting them with high-density polyurethane. As the substance fills the voids beneath the slab, it lifts it to an even position, effectively restoring its height and stability.
In Chuckey, TN, Sarah, a devoted homeowner, grew increasingly concerned when she noticed deep cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement wall. Fearing the foundation might be compromised and eager to prevent further damage, she reached out to Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, assessing the structure and explaining that recent heavy rains had shifted the soil composition around her home, causing sections of the foundation to settle—an all-too-common issue in the region.
To address Sarah’s concerns and stabilize the foundation, we recommended installing several helical piers to prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the clear explanation and scheduled the installation without delay. In just one day, our crew set up the piers, and Sarah felt instant relief seeing the cracks close—a reassuring sign that her home was secure once more. With her foundation stabilized, she felt confident her home was safe for the future and grateful for Master Services’ quick and thorough work.
