Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

In LaFollette, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services to enhance a crawlspace previously encapsulated with inferior materials by the home builder. Over time, issues like water pooling and mold formation arose due to elevated humidity and the abundance of organic material, particularly in the wooden beams. To tackle this, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system. This system not only reduces crawlspace humidity but also improves overall home air quality by preventing water or vapor infiltration. Additionally, we sealed any vents to the outside and installed our Sedona dehumidifier, thus creating a controlled environment inside the crawlspace. With this encapsulation and our dehumidifier, the area is now protected from water infiltration and humidity.

We visited to a home located in Elizabethton, TN to examine drooping beams in the crawlspace. These beams are prone to decay, displacement, and settling over time due to their inadequate sizing and lack of upkeep, which can lead to structural problems. Our team successfully addressed the issue by implementing our efficient SmartJacks system.

The SmartJacks system is a high-capacity, adjustable steel pier that offers a long-lasting solution by preventing further settling and even restoring the home's floor to its original position. This prompt and efficient repair prevented any potential long-term issues that could have arisen as a result of the neglected beams.
