In Knoxville, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding the appearance of cracks in the walls of their residential building. Following a thorough assessment of the foundation, our team determined that soil erosion, particularly due to the sandy composition of the soil, was the root cause of these cracks. The concrete slab supporting the house was settling as a result of the natural contraction of the sandy soil. Neglecting this issue had the potential to compromise the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly effective within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only instilled confidence in the homeowner but also ensured long-term stability and protection for their property.
