A homeowner in Loudon, TN contacted Master Services due to concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior basement wall. After assessing the foundation's condition, our team identified that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, which are well-suited for the local clay terrain. These piers are specifically designed to reinforce the foundation significantly, ensuring long-term stability.
By implementing the helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also provided them with peace of mind, knowing that their property is now secure and stable for years to come.
Master Services was contacted regarding a compromised foundation wall in Loudon, TN. During our inspection, we observed evident indications of hydrostatic pressure within the garage. After careful consideration, our team decided to employ the Plate anchor wall system as a solution. This system provides a cost-effective and non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors utilize the stability of the soil to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, especially noting the minimal disruption to their yard throughout the process.
Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Loudon, TN. Our skilled team quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, we installed four helical piers, which connect the cement footing to stable ground using steel brackets. The piers' unique design effectively grips the clay-rich soil, allowing us to close the cracks and restore stability to the home.
At this home in Philadelphia, TN a shifting foundation led to cracks in the brick exterior as well as interior cracks around windows and doorways. Through the use of helical piers, the home was stabilized and the foundation was restored to its original position. If you are experiencing similar issues, Master Services can help you too!
