Our team traveled to Kingsport, TN, to address a home settlement issue. During inspection, our home inspector noted vertical cracks in the crawlspace wall. Due to shifting soils and moisture problems, homes frequently settle, resulting in issues like cracks and stuck doors and windows, as observed in this case. This settlement compromises both the stability and market value of the home. To prevent further damage, our team installed Push piers. These devices utilize their design to secure stable soil beneath the house, offering immediate support and often restoring the house to its original height. Despite the confined space (between 4-5 feet), our skilled crew successfully completed the task.
A homeowner from Kodak, TN reached out to Master Services to report some cracks on the exterior wall of their house. Upon inspection, our team noticed irregularities around the perimeter and determined that the foundation was settling around one corner of the residence. To rectify the situation, we utilized our push pier system to reposition and stabilize the house.
The push pier system is designed to provide permanent foundation support by transferring the weight of the structure to a stable soil layer. By doing so, it effectively counteracts the settling of the foundation, which helps to prevent further damage to the structure. Our team's implementation of this system successfully resolved the issue, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the residence.
Our crew at Master Services recently assessed a weakened basement wall in a residence near Kingsport, TN. Our inspector determined that the damage was caused by hydrostatic pressure from the exterior, and the homeowner was concerned that it could lead to more serious structural damage over time. To secure the wall, our crew installed our I-Beam wall braces, which are a reliable option for stabilizing walls when wall anchors cannot be used due to soil conditions or property line restrictions.
In Kingsport, TN, a homeowner sought assistance from Master Services regarding concerns about their house's foundation. Upon examining the perimeter of the structure, our team determined that the cracks were a result of soil subsidence. If this issue was not addressed, it had the potential to compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further harm, we advised the installation of helical piers, which are well-suited for the local clay terrain. These piers are specifically designed to reinforce the foundation significantly, ensuring long-term stability.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a bowed wall issue in Kingsport, Tennessee, using Wall Plate Anchors. The appearance of cracks on the wall was attributed to extended exposure to excessive moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. The use of Wall Plate Anchors efficiently stabilized the wall by securely connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing crucial reinforcement to the entire structure of the house. This procedure was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
