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!
We were contacted by a homeowner in Petros, TN who needed help with an unstable bedroom floor. Upon inspection, we determined that the priority was to stabilize the floor rather than lift it. To address this issue, we utilized our dependable SmartJacks system. This system reinforces weakened areas and can be adjusted for additional support if needed. Moreover, it can be installed within a very confined space, which is typical of most crawlspaces.
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.
A crawlspace in Knoxville, TN was experiencing sagging beams and floor joists, which would only worsen without intervention. Our team installed the sturdy SmartJacks system to provide support and prevent further damage. The system can also be adjusted for additional support if necessary.
