Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Crawlspaces are dirty, tiny, and undesirable to visit. Because of this, many homeowners cannot determine the cause of their sagging or sinking floors. In some cases, the answer is in the crawlspace! One look into this crawlspace and Master Services knew what needed to be done: install SmartJacks. 

SmartJacks lifted the wooden beams in this crawlspace to help alleviate sagging floors due to settling. 

In Seymour, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services with concerns about some cracks on her garage floor. After our home inspector investigated the house, we determined that the foundation was experiencing settlement, a common issue when soils and the ground beneath a structure shift or erode. To resolve this problem, our team installed helical piers, which resemble large screws and anchor the home securely to the stable surrounding ground. Carefully installed to the required capacities and depth, these piers, connected to the footing with a steel foundation bracket, provide stability and should ensure the house remains stabilized for years to come.

Our team inspected a residence in Seymour, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners, having learned about Master Services from their neighbor who had fully encapsulated his crawlspace a few years ago, were keen to address potential issues. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load, as was the case here. To tackle this, we implemented our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly tackled the issue and offered a long-term remedy for a problem that could have exacerbated over time.

Master Services recently responded promptly to address concerns with a front porch in Cosby, TN. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the front porch, a common issue due to soil settling. To resolve the problem, we installed three helical piers beneath the cement stairs.

These helical piers efficiently connected the cement footing to the solid ground under the house using sturdy steel brackets. Their unique shape is designed to grip the clay-rich soil effectively, ensuring a secure and lasting solution. Thanks to our swift and professional intervention, the front porch in Cosby, TN, is now stable and safe.

An homeowner in Oakdale, TN desired vapor barriers for her crawlspace, but some of the joists beneath the support beams began to compress and twist under pressure. To provide the desired lift, we reinforced the compromised joists affected by termites and age using our SmartJacks system. Our team effectively resolved the issue and achieved a substantial improvement, which satisfied the customer. The SmartJacks system comprises adjustable steel piers that offer a high-capacity, long-lasting solution by preventing further settling and restoring the floor to its original position.
