Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Plate anchor wall systems offer a cost-effective solution to the labor-intensive and costly process of rebuilding or replacing compromised foundation walls. Our wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, leveraging the soil's stability to anchor the wall and halt inward bowing. Take this basement in McDonald, TN, for example, where numerous stair-step cracks jeopardized the wall's structural integrity.

A homeowner in McDonald, TN contacted our team to reinforce their basement wall, which had been weakened by years of water infiltration and efflorescence. After a thorough inspection, we recommended our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to counteract the hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding terrain. These carbon fiber straps, as strong as steel, are installed without the need for drilling or heavy machinery, preserving the basement's aesthetic. With this solution in place, the homeowner can later paint the wall or add extra protection, such as a Wall Vapor Barrier.

A large building in Hixson, TN exhibited visible cracks in its exterior walls and window frames, indicating foundation settling. Our inspector quickly identified the root cause: seasonal changes caused the surrounding soil to expand and contract, exerting pressure on the foundation over time. To address this issue, our team installed several helical piers beneath the cement footing to anchor the foundation securely to stable ground. These piers, installed with precision using a steel bracket, ensure long-term stabilization, providing stability for years to come.

A homeowner in Collegedale, TN, reached out to Master Services regarding visible cracks underneath the front porch. After a thorough inspection, our home inspector determined that soil shifting, exacerbated by the house being built on a steep hill, was the cause of the cracks. To prevent additional damage and halt further shifting, we recommended the installation of helical piers.

These piers provide robust foundation support, particularly effective in the local clay soil. By opting for helical piers, the homeowner not only gained confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.

Our team conducted an inspection of a residence in Ooltewah, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners had recently purchased the house, knowing they would soon need to address this issue to prevent further damage to the integrity of the house floors. 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 address this issue, our home inspector recommended our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier designed to be installed in tight spaces. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly addressed the issue and provided a long-term remedy for a problem that could have worsened over time.
