Our company received a call from a former customers residing in Richlands, VA, who had previously had their crawlspace encapsulated. They requested additional support for the wooden beams due to neglect by the previous homeowner, resulting in natural wear and tear. Beams can deteriorate, shift, and settle over time. To remedy this, we implemented our SmartJacks system, which effectively reinforces weakened beams, even in tight spaces like this particular crawlspace, offering a long-lasting solution to the issue.

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.

Our team traveled to Kingsport, TN, to address a home settlement issue. During inspection, our home inspector noted vertical cracks in the crawlspace wall. Due to shifting soils and moisture problems, homes frequently settle, resulting in issues like cracks and stuck doors and windows, as observed in this case. This settlement compromises both the stability and market value of the home. To prevent further damage, our team installed Push piers. These devices utilize their design to secure stable soil beneath the house, offering immediate support and often restoring the house to its original height. Despite the confined space (between 4-5 feet), our skilled crew successfully completed the task.

The Master Services installation team successfully addressed a bowed retaining wall in Limestone, TN, using several Wall Plate Anchors. The large horizontal crack on the exterior wall was caused by prolonged exposure to excessive moisture due to hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain.
By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the team effectively stabilized the wall by securely connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing crucial reinforcement to the entire structure of the house. This procedure was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
