Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Jacksboro, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services due to concerns about a large stair-step crack on one of their foundation walls that kept widening over time. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, primarily due to the clay soil, was causing this shift in the concrete base. The concrete slab supporting the house was sinking due to the natural shrinkage of the clay soil.

To prevent further issues, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to reinforce the foundation, especially effective in our local terrain. By using these helical piers, Master Services not only reassured the homeowner but also guaranteed the long-term stability and protection of their property.

A homeowner in Greeneville, TN, reached out to Master Services due to a bowing foundation wall issue that had previously been addressed using wooden beams. Unfortunately, moisture and mold had compromised the beams over a short period, leading to the appearance of the characteristic "stair step" cracks on the wall. Our inspection revealed clear signs of hydrostatic pressure. After careful assessment, our team chose to implement the Plate Anchor wall system as a solution.

This system offers a cost-effective and non-intrusive approach, avoiding the need for extensive rebuilding or replacement of the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors harness the soil's stability to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, particularly appreciating the limited disruption to their yard throughout the process.

In Greeneville, TN, a homeowner observed cracks forming inside her basement walls, particularly along the brick, with signs of irregularity such as water infiltration. Upon inspection by a Master Services home inspector, it was confirmed that the foundation was settling, particularly in one corner. To address this issue, we recommended our push pier system to realign and stabilize the home. Our crew carefully cut a portion of the cement footing and proceeded to install two Push Piers, devices designed to connect the cement footing to the stable soil beneath the house. After backfilling, our crew poured concrete to seal the hole inside the basement.

A property owner near Lowland, TN noticed that several walls in his basement were cracking. This is never a welcome sight for homeowners, as they know it portends more serious damage down the road... perhaps even wall failure. Our team visited and took a look at the problem, then recommended a strategy to stop further damage. We suggested our I-Beam Wall Brace and Power Brace system, which supports walls without disrupting the rest of the home or surrounding landscaping. 

In Unicoi, TN, the Master Services installation team successfully addressed a weakened foundation wall showing signs of bowing. To rectify this issue, we employed our Wall Braces, effectively stabilizing the wall. Our installation of Wall Anchors provided crucial support by connecting the wall to stable soil in its surroundings, thereby enhancing the overall structural integrity of the house.

Since the homeowner had the wall covered by drywall, our crew had to carefully cut through it during the installation process. However, once installed, the anchors will be invisible, seamlessly blending into the wall while providing essential reinforcement.
