Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Cleveland, TN, noticed damage beneath her front porch step, especially after heavy rainfall. Stones collapsed into a shallow sinkhole, exposing part of the foundation footing. Concerned about potential disruption to the upper levels of the house, such as window frames, she promptly sought help. Our team inspected the structure and identified the area needing additional support. We then utilized our push pier system, ideal for narrow digging areas like this one. After securely installing it into the dry and stable clay soil beneath the sinkhole, we anchored it with a steel bracket to the cement footing of the house. Once the hole was backfilled, no visible damage remained, leaving a reinforced structure.

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.
