A request was made by homeowners in Greeneville, TN to Master Services to examine their kitchen and living room's unsteady floors. After inspection, we concluded that the root of the issue had to be addressed from the crawlspace. Wooden beams usually found inside any crawlspace can deteriorate, shift, and settle over time due to poor sizing and maintenance, leading to structural complexities. To resolve the problem, we employed our efficient Smart Jacks system, which effectively averts any future long-term issues that may arise from neglected beams.
In Greeneville, TN, our team of concrete repair experts visited a residence to evaluate a sinking concrete issue near the garage door. The driveway exhibited multiple cracks and had sunken in various areas, presenting both an unsightly appearance and potential tripping hazards. Addressing these concerns promptly was paramount, especially considering the driveway's frequent use by vehicles, and the problem's potential to worsen over time.
To effectively address this matter, our team employed the use of PolyLyft, a remarkable high-density material renowned for its efficacy in concrete restoration. Through the application of PolyLyft, the concrete was rapidly lifted back to its original position, offering a swift and dependable solution. Within a matter of minutes, the cement slab was successfully restored, effectively resolving the aesthetic and safety issues associated with the sinking concrete.
A homeowner in Greeneville, TN, reached out to Master Services due to a bowing foundation wall issue that had previously been addressed using wooden beams. Unfortunately, moisture and mold had compromised the beams over a short period, leading to the appearance of the characteristic "stair step" cracks on the wall. Our inspection revealed clear signs of hydrostatic pressure. After careful assessment, our team chose to implement the Plate Anchor wall system as a solution.
This system offers a cost-effective and non-intrusive approach, avoiding the need for extensive rebuilding or replacement of the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors harness the soil's stability to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, particularly appreciating the limited disruption to their yard throughout the process.
A homeowner in Greeneville, TN, reached out to us for assistance with waterproofing their basement due to ongoing mold growth on the walls. Visible signs of mold were already present around the floor's previous water pipe hole. After conducting a thorough evaluation, we recommended the installation of a water collection and redirection system.
Our chosen solution was the perimeter WaterGuard drainage system, designed to efficiently collect and divert water away from the basement, effectively managing water infiltration. To provide comprehensive protection, we also installed the TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three layers of defense against potential water issues. With these integrated solutions in place, the homeowner's basement is now well-protected against water-related problems and the potential development of mold.
In Greeneville, TN, a homeowner observed cracks forming inside her basement walls, particularly along the brick, with signs of irregularity such as water infiltration. Upon inspection by a Master Services home inspector, it was confirmed that the foundation was settling, particularly in one corner. To address this issue, we recommended our push pier system to realign and stabilize the home. Our crew carefully cut a portion of the cement footing and proceeded to install two Push Piers, devices designed to connect the cement footing to the stable soil beneath the house. After backfilling, our crew poured concrete to seal the hole inside the basement.
