In North Tazewell, VA, a home encountered foundation settlement, prominently displayed by one of its window frames. This issue commonly arises when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To resolve this, the Master Services crew installed helical piers, similar to large screws, to firmly anchor the home to stable ground nearby. We strategically drilled holes and installed three helical piers at key points until achieving the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, guarantee stability, ensuring the house remains secure for years to come.
The walls in this home near Honaker, VA were undergoing settlement problems. Signs of settlement include cracks, sloping or springy floors, creaking floors, and other problems. To address the damage, we installed our Carbon Fiber Reinforcement straps, which stabilize and strengthen failing walls.
In Saint Paul, VA, a homeowner contacted Master Services with concerns about "ladder cracks" in the outer walls of their house. Upon evaluating the foundation, our team identified soil subsidence as the cause of the cracks. The cement slab on which the house was built was sinking due to contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. Left unaddressed, this problem could jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended installing helical piers, specifically designed to offer significant 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.
Our team headed up to Pounding Mill, VA to see about bolstering a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture issues, many houses eventually settle, which results in cracks, stuck doors and windows, and other problems. To stall further damage, our team installed helical piers. This system provides support to flagging foundations, anchoring them to resilient surrounding soils.
Master Services visited a home in East Stone Gap, VA that was undergoing settlement. Settlement will only worsen over time and creates problems like cracks, sloping or sunken floors, stuck doors and windows, and more.
