Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Master Services recently responded promptly to address concerns with a front porch in Abingdon, VA. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the front porch, a common issue due to soil settling. Fortunately, we efficiently resolved the problem using two helical piers. These devices connect the cement footing to the solid ground under the house via steel brackets. Their unique shape is designed to grip the clay-rich soil effectively.

The Master Services team recently visited a charming home in Abingdon, VA, owned by Sarah, a passionate DIY enthusiast and homeowner. Sarah had been working on various home improvement projects when she noticed alarming cracks forming along one of her crawlspace walls. Concerned about the potential risks and knowing the area’s susceptibility to heavy rains, she decided to call in the experts to address the issue.

Our team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil was causing the wall to weaken. To fix the problem, we installed five of our dependable wall plate anchors. This innovative solution utilizes the surrounding stable soil to reinforce and stabilize the wall, preventing further damage and ensuring the home’s safety.

Sarah was impressed by the team’s professionalism and how smoothly the process went. Seeing her wall secured gave her peace of mind, and she expressed her gratitude for the excellent service provided by Master Services.

The Master Services team installed Wall Plate Anchors in Marion, VA to repair a wall that was displaying clear signs of water infiltration. The anchors secure the wall to the surrounding stable soil, providing additional structural support to the house.

In Bristol, VA, a concerned homeowner named Sarah reached out to Master Services after noticing large cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement. Worried about the structural integrity of her home, she wanted answers. Our home inspector arrived promptly and discovered that the foundation had been compromised due to soil settling, which was caused by fluctuating moisture levels. The intense summer heat had caused the clay beneath the concrete slab to contract, resulting in one side of the house sinking—a common issue in the region.

Understanding Sarah’s concerns, we explained that if left unchecked, the settling could lead to more severe damage. To address the issue, we recommended installing two Helical piers under a corner of the structure to provide additional support and prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the quick response and clear explanation of the solution.

Once the job was completed, Sarah was relieved to see the cracks close up, a visible sign that her home was now secure. With the foundation stabilized, she felt reassured, knowing her home was safe and future problems had been prevented.

In Bristol, VA, a previous customer of Master Services reached out to us for assistance, having previously had their crawlspace encapsulated by our team a couple of years ago. The issue at hand was unstable floors, which had begun to sink and warp over time, likely due to mold growth and soil settling. Upon inspection, our team pinpointed the poor quality of the supporting wood beams as the underlying cause. To effectively remedy this issue, Master Services deployed our trusted Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are specifically designed to provide robust support for sagging floors, especially in confined spaces like crawlspaces. Our crew installed them while ensuring not to disturb the previous encapsulation, offering a long-term solution that can be adjusted as needed over time.
