In LaFayette, GA, a home experienced foundation sinking on its front porch, with cracks appearing on the left column. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed three helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. By strategically drilling holes and installing helical piers at key points, they achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure the house remains secure for years to come.
A homeowner in LaFayette, GA, contacted Master Services after discovering a long horizontal crack in their basement wall. Used for additional storage, the basement was under constant hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil, which had caused part of the wall to bow inward. Concerned about their home's structural stability and planning to eventually convert the basement into a garage, they needed a dependable solution.
Before beginning work, we asked the homeowner to remove all belongings to create a safe and efficient workspace. During our inspection, we confirmed early signs of wall failure and recommended the PowerBrace™ system. This solution uses durable steel I-beams securely fastened to Geo-Lock anchors outside the basement via a long rod that leverages stable soil to provide immediate stabilization and allows gradual adjustments to restore the wall to its original position.
Our team completed the project quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption to the property. Now, the homeowner has peace of mind, knowing their basement is stable, secure, and ready for future renovations.
A home near Menlo, GA was having foundation issues. Cracks were appearing along the exterior and inside the crawlspace, which are tell-tale signs of settlement. To fix it, our team installed our helical pier system, which anchors the home to strong surrounding soils.
The Master Services installation team effectively addressed a troubling issue with a basement wall in Rocky Top, TN. The team successfully installed Wall Plate Anchors to tackle the problem caused by excessive moisture from the nearby terrain, leading to hydrostatic pressure and movement of the front wall. Recognizing the necessity for a lasting solution, the homeowners sought a method to reinforce the wall.
Deploying Wall Plate Anchors proved to be the ideal solution as they stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, significantly improving the overall structural integrity of the house. The installation process was carried out with efficiency, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
A homeowner in Rocky Top, TN, contacted Master Services after noticing large cracks forming along the stone-covered wall near the main entrance of their home. Worried about potential structural problems, they scheduled an inspection with one of our experts. During the assessment, we discovered that fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature shifts had caused the soil beneath the foundation to settle, resulting in the cracks along the stone veneer.
To address this, we recommended installing three helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers extend down into stable, load-bearing soil to provide reliable support with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Once the installation was complete, our team backfilled the trenches and restored the site to its original appearance. The homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close up and felt confident knowing their home was now structurally secure for years to come.
