Helical Pier installed in Kingsport, TN
Challenge
In Kingsport, TN, a resident inquired Master Services due to concerns about "ladder cracks" appearing on his elderly disabled father's home's exterior walls. Following an evaluation of the foundation, our team determined that soil subsidence was the underlying cause of these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house had begun sinking due to the contracting nature of clay soil, a prevalent issue during Tennessee's hottest months. Neglecting this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the dwelling.
Solution
To prevent further degradation, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are meticulously designed to offer substantial reinforcement to the foundation, especially crucial in the context of the local red clay terrain. By incorporating these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also guaranteed enduring stability and long-term protection for their property.
