A homeowner in Powell, TN reached out to Master Services regarding concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior wall. Upon assessing the condition of the foundation, our team determined that the cracks were a result of soil subsidence. If left unattended, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To mitigate further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement for the foundation, particularly 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.
A homeowner in Powell, TN reached out to Master Services regarding concerns about cracks inside the living room's walls. Upon assessing the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. The cement slab on which the house was built was sinking due to the contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months of the year. If left unaddressed, this problem could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide 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.
A homeowner in Powell, TN, reached out to Master Services with concerns about large cracks forming around one of the window frames and a noticeable gap in the garage. Our home inspector quickly assessed the foundation and identified soil settling as the culprit, caused by fluctuating moisture levels in the soil. The clay beneath the cement slab had contracted due to the intense summer heat, leading to the house sinking on one side—a common issue in the area.
Recognizing the urgency, we explained that if left unresolved, this could lead to more severe structural problems. To reinforce the foundation, we recommended installing two helical piers beneath a pillar near the garage. These piers would provide the necessary support to prevent further settling. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close and felt reassured that their home was now secure and stable for the future.
The Master Services team placed wall plate anchors in Dandridge, TN to fix a wall with a crack and visible water infiltration. The anchors secure the wall to the surrounding resilient soil to give the house added structural support.
Our team was called by a homeowner in Dandridge, TN, seeking assistance in fortifying its basement structure. Following a thorough analysis, we proposed the implementation of our cutting-edge Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps exhibit remarkable strength, on par with steel, and offer the added advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. This is especially significant for property owners who are utilizing the basement as additional living space. Moreover, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, ensuring the premises' aesthetic appeal remains intact.
