In Morristown, TN, a home exhibited noticeable cracks along the window frames, a common issue resulting from shifting or eroding soils beneath the structure. Upon scheduling an appointment with one of our home inspectors, we recommended helical piers as a solution. These piers, resembling large screws, securely anchor the home to stable ground. Our installation crew expertly excavated the area to the appropriate depth for pier installation. Each pier was carefully drilled to meet necessary capacities and depths, then connected to the footing using a steel foundation bracket. This meticulous process ensures stability, promising years of security for the house.
Living in the picturesque Morristown, TN, John always took pride in his home. But after heavy rainfall started putting serious pressure on his retaining wall, causing soil to erode downhill, he knew it was time to act. Worried about the long-term stability of his yard, John reached out to Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, assessed the situation, and determined that additional support was needed. Trusting our expertise, John quickly scheduled the job.
On installation day, our crew showed up ready to get things done. Using the Geo-Lock system, we installed the necessary Wall Anchors with minimal disruption to John's yard. The work was completed in just one day, and John was beyond satisfied with the results. With his wall reinforced and secure, he felt a huge sense of relief, and we were glad to have helped!
In Morristown, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks that had appeared within the walls of their residence. Following a thorough evaluation of the foundation, our team concluded that soil subsidence was responsible for these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house was settling due to the contraction of clay soil, a common occurrence during the hottest months. If left unattended, this could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the dwelling.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to offer significant foundation reinforcement, particularly effective within the local clay terrain. Through the utilization of these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-lasting stability and protection for their property.
Uneven foundations can cause cracks like in this before picture! Cracks can be caused by soil erosion or settling of the home.
This home in Hampton, TN called Master Services to take a look at their home because the family noticed the floor of the living room was uneven. The door frame was bent and crooked. Rather than waiting to let the home repair itself, the family called a master to lift their home up using helical piers and repair the damage of the home.
Not only is the home repaired from previous damage, the use of piers will reinforce the home from settling again.
In Jacksboro, TN, a business owner reached out to us concerning a significant issue with one of their properties, a large retail store. The building exhibited multiple cracks, known as "ladder cracks," along with some wall bowing. Upon thorough inspection, our team determined that the entire structure had sunk over two inches, posing a potential threat to its structural integrity. This not only risked economic losses but also posed a safety hazard for customers and employees.
After careful assessment, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to address the local clay terrain. These piers provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, ensuring long-term stability. Our skilled crew successfully installed 22 piers, immediately stabilizing the entire building. We have also marked the outer walls for regular monitoring to prevent any further settling.
Within three days, we secured the entire building, ensuring uninterrupted economic activity for the entire area.
