Our team from Master Services recently conducted a site visit to a house in Jefferson City, TN, where we identified signs of foundation instability caused by soil settling. It was evident that immediate action was necessary to safeguard the structural integrity, particularly around the house corner. After careful evaluation, we determined that helical piers were the ideal solution for the specific terrain in Tennessee. These piers are designed to effectively reinforce the foundation and ensure long-lasting stability, while minimizing any disruption to the surrounding yard.
Jim, a devoted father and small business owner in Jefferson City, TN, was growing increasingly worried about his home after noticing significant dips in the living room floor. With kids running around and a busy household, he was concerned about the safety and stability of his home. Feeling the need for professional help, Jim reached out to Master Services for an inspection. Our home inspector arrived promptly and conducted a thorough evaluation of the crawlspace, pinpointing the areas that needed reinforcement.
Determined to resolve the issue quickly, Jim scheduled the job without delay. Our crew arrived as planned and expertly installed five Smart Jacks at strategic locations beneath the crawlspace. These robust jacks provided the necessary support to stabilize weakened beams and level the floor, ensuring long-term stability. By the end of the day, Jim was pleased with the results, relieved to see the floor restored to its original condition, and thankful for a reliable solution that would keep his family safe.
Master Services was called to a home in Corryton, TN to address some foundation issues the homeowner had been experiencing, including stuck doors and windows, cracks in the foundation, and uneven flooring.
To fix these problems, our team installed our helical and push pier systems, which are designed to realign homes without the need for extensive excavation.
A homeowner in Corryton, TN, reached out to Master Services due to concerns about multiple stair-step cracks that had developed on the exterior walls of their new fireplace. Upon inspection, our team determined that the primary cause of these cracks was the settling of the recently added fireplace, which posed a potential threat to the overall structural integrity of the house.
To avert further damage and stabilize the fireplace, we recommended the installation of helical piers. This solution was particularly suitable, given the prevalent sandy soil in the local area. Helical piers are purpose-designed to significantly reinforce the foundation and ensure long-term stability by anchoring the concrete footing beneath the fireplace to the compacted soil beneath the house.
A homeowner in Erwin, TN, reached out to our team for assistance in reinforcing their basement structure. After a comprehensive assessment, we suggested the installation of our state-of-the-art Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps boast impressive strength, equivalent to steel, and come with the added benefit of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is particularly valuable for property owners utilizing the basement as additional living space. Additionally, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the premises.
