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.
When James, a retired veteran and woodworking enthusiast from Greeneville, TN, decided to renovate his beloved basement man cave, he was shocked by what he uncovered. Hidden beneath the wooden planks, he discovered mold growth along the walls and evidence of water intrusion. Concerned for his health and the safety of his home, James reached out to Master Services for help.
Our plan included the installation of our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, which collects and redirects water to prevent it from pooling in the basement. To add extra protection, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump, featuring three layers of defense to ensure water stays out—even during power outages or heavy rainfall. To further protect the walls and prevent moisture from seeping through, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This durable barrier not only keeps moisture at bay but also helps improve air quality by reducing the risk of mold and odors.
To prepare the basement for James’ future tile installation, our crew carefully left the concrete at just the right height, making it easier for him to restore the flooring to its original design.
With his basement now dry, clean, and safe, he can confidently reclaim his man cave for relaxation and woodworking projects!
Master Services headed to a home located not far from Caryville, TN to check out the crawlspace. The area flooded during rainstorms, leaving it vulnerable to mold, mildew, rot, and other issues. We got to work installing our TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. With these systems guarding the area, moisture doesn't have a chance of overrunning his crawlspace!
