Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Mt. Carmel, TN, the foundation of a charming cottage with stone walls, built atop a sandy hill, began to settle. This issue was primarily due to the loose and poorly compacted terrain beneath the structure. To tackle the problem, our team installed helical piers, which are large screw-like anchors that securely connect the home to the more stable ground below. These piers were carefully installed to the required depth and capacity, using steel foundation brackets to attach them to the footing. This solution ensures the home remains stable and secure for years to come.

Master Services recently addressed a settling foundation at a red brick home in Mt. Carmel, TN. We dug alongside the exterior wall at the exact spot where visible cracks indicated the structure was beginning to shift. Our team installed three Helical Piers in the clay-rich soil beneath the compromised area, effectively anchoring the home to more stable ground. These specialized piers feature plates that help pull them into the soil during installation and provide critical anchoring strength as the weight of the house is transferred to each pier. Thanks to this timely intervention, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is once again secure.

Master Services headed to a home near Surgoinsville, TN to check out a damaged basement wall. Walls often buckle, crack, and bow due to hydrostatic pressure from the outside. To fix this home, our team installed our wall plate anchor system, which depends on strong surrounding soil to halt damage and support walls. 

Our team went to Bristol, TN to address the issue of a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture problems, many houses eventually settle, leading to cracks, stuck doors, and other issues. To prevent further damage, we installed helical piers. This system offers support to weakened foundations, anchoring them to stable surrounding soils.

In Bristol, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services regarding cracks that had appeared within the walls of their residential building. After a comprehensive evaluation of the foundation, our team concluded that soil erosion, especially due to the sandy soil composition, was responsible for these cracks. The concrete slab supporting the house was settling because of the sandy soil's natural contraction. Neglecting this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to offer substantial foundation reinforcement, especially within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-lasting stability and protection for their property.
