Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Gate City, VA, a golf club administrator contacted Master Services concerning the partial sinking of a large brick oven. After examining the foundation slab, our team determined that soil subsidence was the cause of the cracks. The cement slab on which the oven was built was sinking due to contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. If left unaddressed, this problem could jeopardize the overall structural integrity. To prevent further damage, we recommended installing helical piers, specifically designed to provide significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the golf club administrator's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.

This basement wall at a home near Blackwater, VA was displaying signs of serious damage. The homeowner was concerned enough to call out our team to provide an inspection. After looking over the wall, which was definitely bowing, we recommended our Power Brace system, which exerts pressure on walls to steadily return them to their original position. 

This home located near Meadowview, VA was having settlement issues. Settlement occurs due to shifts in the ground and soil, leading to interior and exterior cracks and other structural problems. It's important to fix these problems early on, as settlement only worsens and creates more problems. To fix it, the team installed helical piers, which anchor the foundation to strong, resilient soils surround the area. 

Master Service received a call regarding an issue with a compromised foundation wall in Abingdon, VA. Upon conducting our inspection, we noticed clear signs of hydrostatic pressure and understood the urgent requirement for intervention. After thoughtful deliberation, our team opted to implement the Plate anchor wall system, which offers a cost-effective and non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged foundation walls. This wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, utilizing the soil's stability as a support to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the outcome, particularly appreciating the minimal disruption to their yard during the process.

Our company responded to a request from Abingdon, VA, to stabilize a home's foundation. Upon inspection, our team identified the root cause: the foundation wall was cracking due to excessive moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. Inside the house crawlspace, there were significant horizontal and stair-step cracks. To prevent further damage, our team installed four Wall Plate Anchors. These anchors stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing additional support to the house's overall structure.
