Our team inspected a residence in Strawberry Plains, TN due to concerns about sagging beams in the crawlspace. Over time, beams tend to deteriorate and shift, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load. To address this issue, we installed our SmartJacks system, a durable and adjustable steel pier. These supports aim to prevent further settling and potentially even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution immediately addressed the problem and provided a lasting fix for an issue that could have worsened over time.
Crawlspaces are typically dirty, cramped, and unappealing to venture into, but not in this case! Thanks to Master Services' previous encapsulation work, this homeowner in Strawberry Plains, TN had a clean and well-maintained crawlspace. With confidence in our services, he reached out to us when he noticed his floors sagging or sinking. Upon inspection, Master Services swiftly identified the solution: installing SmartJacks. These SmartJacks successfully lifted the wooden beams in the crawlspace, resolving the issue of sagging floors caused by settling.
A family in Strawberry Plains, TN contacted Master Services about visible "ladder cracks" on the exterior walls, particularly around the backdoor. The cracks were hard to miss. Our Home Inspector evaluated the situation and determined that soil settling was causing part of the foundation to shift. To prevent further damage and stabilize the wall, we recommended installing four helical piers. These piers are designed to provide substantial 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.
In Strawberry Plains, TN, Mark had been using his large basement as a garage when he noticed a troubling horizontal crack forming along one of the walls. As the crack grew over time, he began to worry about the long-term stability of his home and knew he needed a lasting solution. Concerned about the structural integrity of his house, Mark decided to call Master Services for help. Our home inspector quickly assessed the situation and confirmed that the wall was bowing due to hydrostatic pressure caused by excessive moisture from the nearby terrain.
Mark didn't hesitate to schedule the job, and in just one day, our crew arrived to restore the wall. They installed a wall vapor barrier to manage moisture, followed by several Wall Plate Anchors to stabilize the structure. The anchors connected the wall to the surrounding stable soil, effectively reinforcing it and preventing further bowing. The installation was efficient, causing minimal disruption to both the inside and outside of the property. Mark was relieved and satisfied, knowing his basement—and his home—was now safe and secure.
