Our team went to Morristown, TN, to address the settlement of a home exhibiting a classic stair-step crack on its exterior brick wall. Due to shifting soils and moisture issues, houses often settle, leading to problems like cracks, stuck doors and windows, compromising the stability and market value of the home. To prevent further damage, our team installed helical piers. These devices use their shape to "grip" the stable soil beneath the house, providing immediate support and often leveling the house to its original height.
Crawlspaces are commonly perceived as unclean and unattractive, posing challenges for homeowners to pinpoint the reasons behind sagging or sinking floors. This is precisely why a homeowner in Morristown, TN sought assistance from Master Services, known for our expertise in crawlspace repair. Upon inspection, our home inspector identified the appropriate solution: the installation of SmartJacks.
These devices effectively lifted the wooden beams in the crawlspace, resolving the problem of settling floors.
In Morristown, TN, a home exhibited noticeable cracks along the window frames, a common issue resulting from shifting or eroding soils beneath the structure. Upon scheduling an appointment with one of our home inspectors, we recommended helical piers as a solution. These piers, resembling large screws, securely anchor the home to stable ground. Our installation crew expertly excavated the area to the appropriate depth for pier installation. Each pier was carefully drilled to meet necessary capacities and depths, then connected to the footing using a steel foundation bracket. This meticulous process ensures stability, promising years of security for the house.
This crawlspace in Morristown, TN, quickly became the perfect environment for mold and spore proliferation. Believing that mold and moisture were the source of the smell, the homeowners contacted Master Services to waterproof the area with a superior material. The area had been previously encapsulated by the home builder years ago with subpar materials and inadequate technique. Our crew installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a dependable and high-quality liner that covers the floor, walls, and columns of the crawlspace to prevent further moisture and mold issues. The bright color of CleanSpace also enhanced the area, making it suitable for clean storage.
