Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Powell, TN, reached out to Master Services with concerns about large cracks forming around one of the window frames and a noticeable gap in the garage. Our home inspector quickly assessed the foundation and identified soil settling as the culprit, caused by fluctuating moisture levels in the soil. The clay beneath the cement slab had contracted due to the intense summer heat, leading to the house sinking on one side—a common issue in the area. 

Recognizing the urgency, we explained that if left unresolved, this could lead to more severe structural problems. To reinforce the foundation, we recommended installing two helical piers beneath a pillar near the garage. These piers would provide the necessary support to prevent further settling. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close and felt reassured that their home was now secure and stable for the future.

A homeowner in Powell, TN, contacted Master Services after discovering a long horizontal crack in their basement wall. Their house, situated on the side of a hill, was under constant hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil, which had caused part of the wall to begin bowing inward. Worried about their home’s structural stability, they needed a reliable solution to support their plans of turning the basement into a functional living space.  

During our inspection, we detected early signs of wall failure and recommended the PowerBrace™ system. This solution features steel I-beams securely fastened to the joists above with steel brackets, providing immediate reinforcement while allowing adjustments over time to help return the wall to its original position.  

The project was completed quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact on both the inside and outside of the property. Now, the homeowner can move forward with peace of mind, knowing their basement is stable, secure, and ready for its transformation. 🏠✨

The Master Services team placed wall plate anchors in Dandridge, TN to fix a wall with a crack and visible water infiltration. The anchors secure the wall to the surrounding resilient soil to give the house added structural support.

Our team was called by a homeowner in Dandridge, TN, seeking assistance in fortifying its basement structure. Following a thorough analysis, we proposed the implementation of our cutting-edge Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps exhibit remarkable strength, on par with steel, and offer the added advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is especially significant for property owners who are utilizing the basement as additional living space. Moreover, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, ensuring the premises' aesthetic appeal remains intact.

Master Services went to a home in Newport, Tennessee that was experiencing settling issues. Settling will only get worse over time and causes problems like cracks, uneven floors, jammed doors and windows, and more. To resolve it, our team installed helical piers, which strengthen the foundation and offer long-term stability.
