In Hixson, TN, a resident reached out to Master Services seeking improvements for their crawlspace support. Our experienced team conducted a thorough evaluation, identifying specific areas in need of reinforcement. To effectively address this issue, we opted for the installation of five Smart Jacks, specially designed for compact spaces. These specialized jacks provide robust support for weakened crawlspace beams, offering a durable solution for sagging floors. Notably, Smart Jacks are highly adjustable and adaptable to accommodate various crawlspace needs.
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.

This system effectively reinforces weakened areas and can be customized for added support as required. Additionally, it can be installed in tight spaces, which is common in crawlspaces. In this situation, we successfully stabilized the kitchen floor, preventing any future settling. Additionally, we raised the kitchen floor, thereby reducing the visible cracks in the upper rooms.
Our team visited a home near Ooltewah, TN to inspect a crawlspace in need of additional support. Over time, high humidity and mold growth can compromise the integrity of wooden beams, causing floors to sag. Combined with natural wear and tear, beams can deteriorate, shift, and settle. To address this issue, we applied our SmartJacks system. This solution effectively reinforces weakened beams, even in confined spaces like this particular crawlspace, providing a lasting remedy for the problem.
A homeowner in Collegedale, TN, reached out to Master Services regarding visible cracks underneath the front porch.

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.
