Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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!

A homeowner in Kodak, TN, contacted Master Services after spotting stair-step cracks forming at the corner near the main entrance of his red brick house. Concerned about potential structural issues, he scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors. During the inspection, it was determined that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature changes, was the main culprit.

We recommended installing two helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers reach stable soil deep underground to provide solid support, while minimizing disruption to the soil around the home. Once the installation was complete, the trenches were backfilled and leveled, restoring the area to its original state. The homeowner felt relieved to see the cracks close and had peace of mind knowing his home was now safe and secure for the years ahead.

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.

Our team was called to assess a house in Knoxville, TN, where the homeowner expressed concerns about reinforcing the structure of their basement before the fall season. The homeowner had previously attempted to prevent wall bowing by installing wooden beams, but unfortunately, this solution proved ineffective.

After conducting a thorough analysis, we recommended the implementation of our innovative Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps exhibit exceptional strength, comparable to steel, yet offer the advantage of a non-intrusive installation process that eliminates the need for drilling or heavy machinery. Additionally, once the repairs are complete, the carbon fiber straps can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the property.

With the Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system in place, the basement is now fortified against potential structural challenges for many years to come. The homeowner can have peace of mind knowing that their basement is well-reinforced and protected.
