Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Our team conducted an inspection of a residence in Ooltewah, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners had recently purchased the house, knowing they would soon need to address this issue to prevent further damage to the integrity of the house floors. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load, as was the case here. To address this issue, our home inspector recommended our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier designed to be installed in tight spaces. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly addressed the issue and provided a long-term remedy for a problem that could have worsened over time.

This basement wall in a home near Signal Mountain, TN, exhibited signs of bowing, typically indicating that the pressure from water trapped in the surrounding soil was pushing the wall inside the basement. This phenomenon is known as hydrostatic pressure. Concerned about this issue, the homeowner contacted our team for an inspection. Upon examining the bowing wall, we recommended our Power Brace system, which applies pressure to walls to gradually return them to their original position. Our team efficiently halted any further bowing by anchoring the beams to the wooden beams and the concrete footing.

A homeowner from the picturesque Signal Mountain, TN, contacted our home inspector at Master Services regarding persistent efflorescence on one foundation wall—a classic sign of water infiltration. Worried about potential bowing of the wall due to this issue, the homeowner reached out to us. Responding promptly, we dispatched a crew tasked with installing a combination of Wall Plate Anchors and Geo Locks. Over time, excessive moisture from nearby terrain had caused the front wall to shift forward, a result of hydrostatic pressure. Utilizing Wall Plate Anchors, our team stabilized the wall by linking it to the stable surrounding soil, thus improving the overall structural integrity of the residence. Throughout the installation process, we ensured minimal disruption to the exterior yard.

Mary, a retired school teacher in Signal Mountain, TN, began to notice unsettling dips in her living room floor, making the surface uneven and causing doors to jam. Concerned about the structure of her home, she decided it was time to consult Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, conducting a thorough evaluation of the crawlspace and identifying the exact areas where reinforcement was needed.

Eager to restore the floor, Mary quickly scheduled the job. Our crew arrived on time and installed three Smart Jacks at key points beneath the crawlspace. These durable jacks were carefully positioned to stabilize weakened beams and level the floor, with the added flexibility to adjust for future shifts if needed. By the end of the day, Mary was thrilled with the results, relieved to have a secure, even floor once again, and grateful for a solution she could count on for the long run.

This basement wall at a home near Pelham, TN was displaying signs of damage. The wall was buckling, always a worrisome sign that more damage is imminent. Our team recommended our carbon fiber system, which uses epoxy-soaked carbon straps to reinforce and stabilize foundation walls.
