Master Services recently responded to a homeowner in Appalachia, VA, who was worried about large cracks forming in the exterior brick walls of their house. Concerned about the safety and structural integrity of their home, they contacted us for help. Our home inspector quickly diagnosed the issue as soil settling, a common problem in the region.
After providing a free estimate and scheduling the project, our production crew got to work. They dug a small trench around the building and installed several helical piers. These piers connect the concrete footing to stable ground through steel brackets, ensuring a secure foundation. The piers' unique design grips the clay-rich soil effectively, allowing us to close the cracks and restore the home’s stability.
Thanks to this solution, the homeowner now has peace of mind, knowing their house is structurally sound and protected from further damage.
