In Corryton, TN, Sara had noticed her sidewalk gradually sinking, with cracks forming over time. Concerned about the safety and appearance of her front porch steps, she reached out to Master Services for help. Our home inspector quickly assessed the situation and determined that poorly compacted soil beneath the concrete was the cause. After discussing solutions, Sara decided to move forward with our PolyLyft method, an innovative approach designed to lift and level sunken concrete.
The installation crew arrived and completed the job in just one day. By injecting expanding foam beneath the concrete, they were able to raise the steps back to their original position without the need for costly replacements. Sara was thrilled with the fast, efficient work and felt confident that her sidewalk would remain sturdy for years to come.
Master Services recently installed a sump pump system to fix a flooded basement in Erwin, TN.
A homeowner in Erwin, TN noticed some nasty odors emanating from her crawlspace. When a basement or crawlspace smells bad, it's usually due to moisture and mold. Our inspector looked the area over and recommended two systems: our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and CleanSpace moisture barrier. When it comes to protecting against water, nothing beats these systems!
A homeowner in Erwin, TN, reached out to our team for assistance in reinforcing their basement structure. After a comprehensive assessment, we suggested the installation of our state-of-the-art Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps boast impressive strength, equivalent to steel, and come with the added benefit of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is particularly valuable for property owners utilizing the basement as additional living space. Additionally, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the premises.
In Erwin, TN, a homeowner reached out to us about ongoing water infiltration in their basement, resulting in persistent halo stains and mud puddles on the floor. Given that the homeowner used the space as an additional bedroom, our team prioritized protecting the walls and floor. After conducting a thorough assessment, we proposed installing a system to collect and divert water away from the basement, focusing on the staircase area.
For this purpose, we selected the WaterGuard drainage system, known for its efficient water collection and diversion capabilities. To accommodate this system, our crew made adjustments by removing part of the cement stair steps. Additionally, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump, providing three layers of defense against potential water issues.
With these solutions now implemented, the homeowner's basement is safeguarded from water-related concerns and potential mold growth.
