Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A family in Strawberry Plains, TN contacted Master Services about visible "ladder cracks" on the exterior walls, particularly around the backdoor. The cracks were hard to miss. Our Home Inspector evaluated the situation and determined that soil settling was causing part of the foundation to shift. To prevent further damage and stabilize the wall, we recommended installing four helical piers. These piers are designed to provide substantial 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 ensured long-term stability and security for their property.

In Strawberry Plains, TN, Mark had been using his large basement as a garage when he noticed a troubling horizontal crack forming along one of the walls. As the crack grew over time, he began to worry about the long-term stability of his home and knew he needed a lasting solution. Concerned about the structural integrity of his house, Mark decided to call Master Services for help. Our home inspector quickly assessed the situation and confirmed that the wall was bowing due to hydrostatic pressure caused by excessive moisture from the nearby terrain.

Mark didn't hesitate to schedule the job, and in just one day, our crew arrived to restore the wall. They installed a wall vapor barrier to manage moisture, followed by several Wall Plate Anchors to stabilize the structure. The anchors connected the wall to the surrounding stable soil, effectively reinforcing it and preventing further bowing. The installation was efficient, causing minimal disruption to both the inside and outside of the property. Mark was relieved and satisfied, knowing his basement—and his home—was now safe and secure.

A homeowner in Morristown, TN, was becoming increasingly anxious about the uneven floors in their living and dining areas. Over several months, they observed noticeable sagging, which made traversing the floors feel precarious. Alarmed by the potential compromise to their home's stability, they turned to Master Services for assistance.

Upon arranging an inspection, our expert home inspector examined the property and pinpointed the root of the problem in the sprawling basement. The homeowner had envisioned transforming this expansive space into an additional living area, but this plan was thwarted when the floors began to sag due to warped joists and settling. This issue was causing significant problems with the house's floor integrity.

To rectify the situation, our inspector suggested the installation of SmartJacks, a robust, adjustable support system tailored to lift and stabilize sagging floors. 

The Master Services team arrived promptly on the designated day, executing the job with efficiency and completed it within a day. They installed the SmartJacks, ensuring minimal disturbance to the basement's floor. By day's end, the wooden beams had been raised, bringing the floors above back to their intended level.

Importantly, the SmartJacks system offers the flexibility to be adjusted over time should the need arise, ensuring long-term stability and adaptability for the home. With the floor issues resolved, the homeowner once again felt their home was secure and stable.

These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, especially effective in the local clay terrain.
