The home foundation near Athens, TN was experiencing settlement issues. Soil shifts or erosion can cause this, often resulting in compromised structural integrity. Our home inspector pinpointed a corner in need of extra support due to a significant stair-step crack.

This implementation ensures the house is stabilized for the foreseeable future.
Master Services received a call regarding a compromised foundation wall in Athens, TN. During our inspection, we identified clear signs of hydrostatic pressure within the garage. After careful consideration, our team chose to implement the Plate anchor wall system as an effective solution. This system offers a non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors rely on the stability of the soil to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, specifically mentioning the minimal disruption caused to their yard during the process.
