Helical Piers raised a foundation in Athens, TN
Challenge
John, the owner of a newly built home near Athens, TN, began noticing unsettling cracks forming at the corner of his garage. One crack, in particular, was a significant stair-step fracture, raising concerns about the structural integrity of his home. Worried that the foundation might be compromised, he reached out to Master Services. Our team scheduled a free inspection to assess the situation, and upon arrival, our home inspector quickly identified soil erosion as the culprit. The shifting soil had caused the foundation to settle unevenly, which led to the damage.
Solution
To address the issue, our team recommended the installation of two helical piers—specialized supports designed to stabilize the home by anchoring it into more stable ground. At the appointed time, our crew arrived and efficiently installed the piers at a key point, the garage corner, to prevent further settling. Despite the complexity of the work, they left minimal disruption to John’s property, and by the end of the day, the foundation was secure. With the cracks no longer a threat, John felt reassured that his home was now built on solid ground for the long term.
