In Limestone, TN, a spacious basement faced a common problem: sagging support beams and floor joists. Without proper intervention, the issue would persist and worsen over time. To address this, our team installed the reliable and robust SmartJacks system. These components were meticulously assembled and connected to the girder, offering essential support to the weakened elements. The SmartJacks can be easily tightened for additional support if necessary. Remarkably, this solution caused minimal disruption to the existing cement floor, thanks to our pre-cast concrete base.
The Master Services installation team successfully addressed a bowed retaining wall in Limestone, TN, using several Wall Plate Anchors. The large horizontal crack on the exterior wall was caused by prolonged exposure to excessive moisture due to hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain.
By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the team effectively 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.
A residence near Pall Mall, TN was undergoing settlement. Settlement happens when soils around and under the home swell, shrink, or are washed away by water. Signs of settlement include cracks, both interior and exterior, sloping floors, stuck doors and windows, and more. To fix this home, Master Services installed wall anchors, which secure damaged foundation walls to avoid further damage.
Our team was sent to evaluate a residential basement in Rutledge, TN, which exhibited clear indications of structural instability caused by soil settling, necessitating additional support. To resolve this issue, our experts utilized our advanced foundation support system, known as EverBrace. This system combines steel corrugated panels and beams to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls. Moreover, rigid foam is injected to fill any gaps behind the steel panels, effectively transferring the load from the compromised structure to the new support panels. This solution offers a less disruptive alternative to complete foundation replacement.
A homeowner in Rutledge, TN contacted Master Services with concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior wall. Upon evaluating the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also guaranteed long-term stability and security for their property.
