In Oak Ridge, TN, the owner of a large building reached out to Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking in their foundation wall. After conducting a thorough foundation assessment, our team determined that soil erosion was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of clay soil, which is a common problem in this specific area of Tennessee. Failing to address this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the building.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured lasting stability and safeguarded the building against further sinking and damage.
Our team inspected a residence in Oak Ridge, TN, due to concerns about sagging beams in the crawlspace. The homeowner had previously installed a few support jacks, but additional support was needed, and an upgrade was desired. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, 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.
Recently, the Master Services team made their way to a charming home in Sevierville, TN, located on a steep incline, to assess a structural wall that had been impacted. The reason for the damage appeared to be due to hydrostatic pressure from the exterior. The team, in order to repair the issue, utilized their wall plate anchor system which uses the surrounding soil's stability to prevent further damage and secure the walls.
A cabin rental company in Sevierville, TN contacted Master Services concerning a soil settling problem. The cabin, built on a steep hill, experienced downhill collapse over time. To address this issue, our team skillfully installed helical piers to reinforce the foundation, ensuring long-term stability and preventing further settling problems. Additionally, we utilized Poly-Lift to inject the sidewalk slab, providing both lifting and long-term support. This solution is well-suited for the clay-rich soil in the area and offers additional support. We accomplished this without any disruptive measures and within a reasonable timeframe.
