Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Lisa, a first-time homeowner in a charming cottage near Newport, TN, became increasingly concerned when a noticeable stair-step crack along one of her exterior walls began widening. She had recently inherited the home from her grandparents and was determined to preserve its condition. Adding to her worries, she noticed her windows were becoming harder to open and close, clear signs of potential structural issues. Realizing she needed professional assistance, Lisa turned to Master Services.

Our team quickly scheduled a visit, and our home inspector thoroughly evaluated the property. The culprit was clear—soil erosion beneath the foundation was causing the structure to settle unevenly. To resolve the issue and protect the home, we installed four helical piers. These robust supports anchor the foundation into stable soil layers, ensuring long-term stability. Additionally, our crew carefully raised the segment of the wall needing support, successfully closing most of the stair-step crack gap. The work was completed efficiently in just one day, leaving Lisa’s yard intact and disruption minimal.

Now with her foundation secure and the crack nearly invisible, Lisa feels a deep sense of relief knowing her grandparents’ cherished home is safe from further damage. She’s grateful to Master Services for their expertise and quick resolution, ensuring her family’s legacy stands strong for years to come.

Our team at Master Services went to a house located near Kodak, TN to inspect a basement wall that had a significant vertical crack. The damage was likely caused by hydrostatic pressure from the outside. To fix the problem, we installed our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system. The strength of the carbon fiber straps is similar to steel, but it doesn't require drilling or heavy machinery to install. Plus, once the repairs are finished, it can be easily hidden.

A log cabin in Kodak, TN, encountered stability issues with its wooden crawlspace. The wood posts and concrete columns were no longer effectively supporting the sagging living room and kitchen floors of the cabin. High moisture levels in the crawlspace were dampening the wood beams, worsening the problem of sinking floors. Master Services intervened to address the issue by introducing our trusted SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home even within the constraints of a tight space.

A typical home in Kodak, TN suffered from visible exterior wall and window frame cracking, a telltale sign of foundation settling. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause: soil erosion from heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity. To remedy this, our team strategically installed three helical piers to anchor the home securely to stable ground. To dig through the hardened, clay-rich soil, our crew had to use water to soften the terrain before starting the excavation. Installed with precision, these piers ensure the long-term stabilization of the house, providing stability for years to come!

After receiving a request for assistance from a homeowner in Wartburg, TN ,who had a noticeable "ladder crack" on their home's wall, Master Services promptly conducted a comprehensive inspection. These types of cracks can indicate underlying foundation issues that, if ignored, may compromise the stability of the entire house. To prevent further damage, especially on the East side of the building, we determined that the most effective solution would be to install helical piers, which are designed to provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation and ensure long-term stability, considering the local clay terrain.

The installation of these helical piers not only provided the homeowner with a renewed sense of confidence but also ensured their property's safety and stability for many years to come.
