A homeowner in La Follette, TN contacted Master Services about visible "stair-step" cracks on their front porch wall. After inspecting the foundation, our team found that the cracks were caused by soil shifting. To prevent additional damage, we suggested installing helical piers, which offer solid foundation support, especially in the local clay soil. These piers not only increased the homeowner's confidence but also guaranteed long-term stability and security for their property.
In La Follette, TN, the owner of a charming cabin reached out to Master Services concerning the appearance of cracks on the exterior walls of their residence. After conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the foundation, our team determined that soil subsidence was the underlying cause of these cracks. Given that the cabin was situated on the side of a steep hill, there was a risk of potential collapse if the issue wasn't addressed promptly. This posed a serious threat to the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further degradation, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement to foundations, particularly well-suited for the local clay terrain. By employing these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also guaranteed enduring stability and security for their valuable property.
In La Follette, TN, our installation team at Master Services efficiently addressed a weakened retaining wall issue using Helical Tie-Back Anchors. The wall had developed cracks due to prolonged exposure to excessive moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. To remedy this, we utilized Helical Tie-Back Anchors to stabilize the wall. These anchors securely connected the wall to the stable soil in its vicinity, providing essential reinforcement to the entire wall structure. The procedure was carried out with efficiency, resulting in minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
Our team traveled to Elizabethton, TN to assess and strengthen a settling home. As a result of shifting soils and moisture concerns, many homes gradually settle, leading to issues like cracks, jammed doors and windows, and other structural problems. To prevent further deterioration, our team installed helical piers, focusing on supporting a specific column. This system offers reinforcement to weakened foundations by anchoring them to stable surrounding soils.
Our team at Master Services visited a home near Johnson, TN to inspect a damaged basement wall. The wall was likely damaged due to hydrostatic pressure from the outside.
