Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Richlands, VA. Our home inspector quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, after an appointment was scheduled, our production crew dug a small trench around the building and then installed several helical piers, which connect the cement footing to stable ground using steel brackets. The piers' unique design effectively grips the clay-rich soil, allowing us to close the cracks and restore stability to the home.
Master Services recently completed a crawlspace encapsulation and waterproofing project in Richlands, VA. The homeowner, who had just purchased a home, was unaware of the extensive moisture issues lurking beneath the house. The soil lay exposed, and high humidity was a constant concern. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team recommended a comprehensive solution to protect the home.
First, we thoroughly cleaned the crawlspace to remove debris and prepare for encapsulation. Then, we installed a durable vapor barrier along the walls and floor to seal out moisture, helping to prevent mold growth and maintain a dry environment; a process called "encapsulation".
To further protect the area, we set up a reliable sump pump system to manage any incoming water, followed by a dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in check. These measures ensure the crawlspace stays dry, improve overall air quality, and give the homeowner peace of mind.
