In Jacksboro, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services due to concerns about a large stair-step crack on one of their foundation walls that kept widening over time. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, primarily due to the clay soil, was causing this shift in the concrete base. The concrete slab supporting the house was sinking due to the natural shrinkage of the clay soil.
To prevent further issues, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to reinforce the foundation, especially effective in our local terrain. By using these helical piers, Master Services not only reassured the homeowner but also guaranteed the long-term stability and protection of their property.
Master Services recently addressed an issue with a concrete front porch and a section of the sidewalk that experienced settlement near Jacksboro, TN. The homeowner had noticed these signs for months, and with the sudden temperature change, the cracks became more pronounced. Our experienced team quickly identified the problem as concrete settling, a common occurrence linked to changes in the soil composition beneath the house. We addressed this issue by injecting the necessary areas without affecting the foundation wall underneath.
The PolyLyft process involves injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area, gently raising the sunken slab back to its original position. This approach offers a cost-effective and permanent solution to the problem. By choosing PolyLyft, the homeowner not only saves time and money but also ensures a long-lasting remedy for their concrete sidewalk.
