Mike from Pioneer, TN struggled with a wet, musky basement with related electrical safety issues in his vacation home. Before making this his primary residency, Mike wanted to make sure it was move-in ready, so he gave Master Dry a call.

Master Dry inspector, Frank Yelencich, conducted the free inspection and cost estimate for the best solution for his wet, moldy basement. Experienced project foreman, David Lyons, installed a lawn scape outlet, a basement WaterGuard waterproofing system and IceGuard. David used a TripleSafe Sump Pump system to prevent flooding, provide power outage protection, reduce sump pump noise, and to keep Mike’s basement clean and dry. The team also used LawnScape to prevent moisture from entering the house from the yard and unsuitable weather. The basement was also suffering from foundational issues due to accumulated moisture damage that caused the floor to sink and warp. Inevitably, the wall began to fall suit as well. To remedy this issue, the team installed a CleanSpace wall to provide a water-proof, insulated, stain-resistant, and maintenance-free surface, effective moisture and vapor barrier, and a long-term, financially wise solution to an unleveled, sinking wall.

In Keith’s home in Pioneer, TN, a musty smell and damp crawl space had taken over his home. He attempted to remedy the issue on his own, but found it too difficult and extensive of a job, so Keith decided to call the experts at Master Dry to find a long-term solution to fix his wet, moldy crawl space and to ease his mind having the job being handled by trusted professionals. 

At Keith’s request, sales representative Scott Frazier came to his home and conducted the free inspection and cost estimate to develop a course of action for his crawl space. After seeing the professionalism and need for expert intervention, Keith was confident in Master Dry’s ability to get the job done exceptionally well. A team, led by Nick Crozier, installed the energy-efficient SaniDry CX dehumidifier to start decreasing the humidity and accumulated water in the space. They sprayed for mold and installed a condensate SumpPump to evaporate the current stagnant water, prevent water from further accumulating in the future, warn him when the water level rises above a particular level, and even protect his home when the power goes out. They also installed black plastic covers to halt further water damage and create an aseptically pleasing space. Nick and his team used an EverLast Crawl Space door because it is immune to moisture damage, never rots or warps, and prevents pests and outside air from entering the crawl space. Lastly, Nick removed debris and musty materials, installed an electrical outlet, and completed his cleanup protocol.

Brian, of Caryville, TN, called Master Dry after the basement of their seventy-year old home began to have a serious stench of mold. Water was intruding through the basement during heavy rain-storms and seeping into the carpet, causing mold and an extensive and expensive upkeep for the family. They first attempted to clean the carpet themselves, however, they ended up collecting 12-15 jugs of water from the carpet alone. They realized it was time to get their water worries alleviated immediately.

Sales representative, Terry Meenach, completed the free inspection and estimate suited for their particular problems. The team installed a WaterGuard to rid of the accumulated water sitting in their basement, a Single Pack to further remove the remaining water and generate a dry surface to prevent and treat mold, and an IceGuard that prevents backups in the sump pumps caused by freezing lines, which prevents basement flooding in colder weather. The crew proceeded to install a LawnScape to provide an outlet for the sump pump to discharge of water into the lawn, an EverLast Window to protect from outside water and pests, and a Zen Wall. A Zen Wall is an isolated and finished wall that is a solution to cold, peeling concrete walls. Installing a Zen Wall provides an effective moisture and vapor barrier, insulates the space, captures all wall seepage and leaks, and protects against invading moisture through its waterproof and stain resistant attributes.

The crewmembers followed up and were pleased to hear that Brian and his family were happy with the work done and were at ease because they no longer had to worry about their wet basement problems. 

Caryville resident, Bill, began noticing dampness and water in his crawl space on a reoccurring basis. Fortunately, he caught the symptoms before serious damage occurred, preventing mold from becoming a serious issue. Sales representative, Scott Frazier, gave the free inspection and estimate and then determined the correct procedure necessary to fix Bill’s basement and crawl space woes.

The crew, led by foreman Brad Cox, installed a CleanSpace Liner, a cover and sealant to reduce moisture, cold drafts, and humidity in the crawlspace. The liner makes the crawl space an aesthetically pleasing space and also comes with a 25-year performance warranty, so serves a variety of long-term purposes. The team then installed Wrap Piers, which stabilize the crawl space and support the foundation of the area. Lastly, Brad and crew installed a SaniDry CX, an energy efficient dehumidifier to prevent future water collection and mold growth. 

Bill was thrilled that he no longer had to come home to a wet basement and was happy to finally pust his worries and stress about his home to rest. Master Dry was ecstatic to help Bill make his basement problems disappear and would be more than happy to assist you in your home repair needs! 

Steve and Rebecca, of Caryville, TN, noted that water was entering below their basement walls, resulting in constant condensation on a significant area space. The couple has been homeowners for ten years and unfortunately they have been plagued with this issue for quite some time. Mold had always been a continuous and irritating problem for their family, with a significant amount of upkeep and stress. The couple decided to call Master Dry for a free estimate and inspection, to get to the bottom of the issue and to fix the problems once and for all.

Sales representative, Josh Sulfridge, led the inspection and detailed the correct objective and plan to Nick Crozier, project foreman, and his team. Initially, the crew installed a WaterGuard to evaporate and remove all of the accumulated water as well as a port to properly release the water through an outdoor receptacle rather than building on the wall. They proceeded to conduct a gravity feed discharge. Nick then completed an HVAC and sheetrock removal. They also installed BrightWall Basement Wall Panels, waterproof, stain-resistant, easy-to-clean, and maintenance and painting free plastic, trim strips that brighten and beautify basement walls. Bright Wall Panels are effective guards against moisture and water vapor, preventing mold growth and further water damage.

When a sidewalk settles, it's usually due to soil erosion and shifts in temperature. When concrete is allowed to continue settling without intervention, it can lead to unsightly and (potentially) dangerous cracks. The void beneath this Newcomb, TN sidewalk was getting bigger and bigger, but the Master Services team had the perfect solution. 

To fix the sidewalk, we injected our durable, high-density PolyLyft into the area beneath the slab. This product expands and fills empty areas beneath concrete, effectively raising and leveling the slab. PolyLyft is a long-lasting solution for such problems, and it cures within an hour and can be walked on the day of installation. 

This Pioneer, TN basement flooded whenever it rained, creating the opportunity for mold, mildew, and rot to settle into the area. These problems not only cause respiratory and allergy problems for residents, but will potentially destroy vulnerable areas like wooden beams, joists, insulation, drywall, and more. The homeowner needed a solution that would eliminate these threats. 

The Master Services team installed our CleanSpace Basement Wall Vapor Barrier, which is mold and mildew proof. We also installed one of our trusty sump pump systems, which catch and pump water out of the basement via a drain that is installed along the perimeter.

This comprehensive approach will keep the basement in good shape for years to come. 

Vented dirt crawlspaces are common in homes, but they invite moisture, humidity, and pests inside the area. Over time, the moisture creates mold and wood rot, which eats away at weight-bearing joists and supportive elements. This creates structural issues in the rest of the home, including sloping floors, stuck doors and windows, and cracks. The best preventative strategy is an encapsulation system, like Master Services' CleanSpace moisture barrier. 

This home near Newcomb, TN lacked an encapsulation system, leaving it vulnerable to the aforementioned dangers. Our team inspected the area and recommended our CleanSpace system to protect it. This liner is composed of mold and tear-resistant material. It deters moisture and related damage while creating extra storage space.

No one can go wrong with this liner, particularly since it comes with a 25-year warranty! 

A homeowner near Jellico, TN worried when she noticed some damage around an exterior foundation wall. She didn't know when it started, but she fretted about it worsening and creating serious foundation problems. The home was built in the 1950s, so it wasn't unusual that it had some foundation damage. However, the customer was right to schedule an inspection to see about our team's repair options. 

Our inspector looked the wall over, as well as the rest of the home, to get an idea of what was creating the problem. In cases like this, soil conditions and hydrostatic pressure often contribute to foundation damage. For this home, we recommended our plate wall anchor system to prevent further damage. This method provides stabilization without requiring the expense or disruption of replacing the wall itself. 

Our team installed the wall plate anchors in no time at all, leaving the foundation safe and secure for years to come. 

In Jacksboro, TN, we received a distress call from a concerned business owner regarding their large retail store. Upon inspection, our expert team identified multiple cracks, including the concerning "ladder cracks," as well as evident wall bowing. Our assessment revealed a significant issue— the entire building had sunk over two inches. If left unattended, this sinking could potentially compromise the structural stability of the entire structure, presenting both economic losses and posing a physical threat to customers and employees.

With great care and expertise, we conducted a thorough examination and devised a tailored solution. Recognizing the local clay terrain, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are meticulously engineered to address such challenges and provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation, ensuring long-term stability and mitigating any further sinking.

Our dedicated crew swiftly sprang into action, meticulously installing a total of 22 helical piers. The immediate effect was a remarkable stabilization of the entire building, providing reassurance and safety. To ensure ongoing monitoring and preventive measures, we carefully marked the outer walls and committed to regular checks, ensuring that no further settling would occur.

Within a span of three days, we successfully secured the entire building, safeguarding the economic activity for the entire area. By swiftly addressing the structural concerns and implementing reliable solutions, we provided peace of mind to the business owner, their customers, and their employees, allowing the business to continue thriving in a stable and secure environment.

In LaFollette, TN, Sandra Cooper became increasingly concerned as the concrete slab outside her garage sank, creating a dangerous tripping hazard near her home's entrance. Sandra promptly contacted Master Services, known for their expertise in tackling such challenges. Our home inspector quickly arrived to assess the situation.

Identifying a void beneath the slab due to soil erosion, we recommended PolyLyft, an innovative solution designed to lift and stabilize sinking concrete slabs. PolyLyft begins as a liquid, injected strategically beneath the slab, before swiftly hardening within minutes to restore the slab to its original height. This process not only corrected the immediate hazard but also promised long-term stability for Sandra's home.

With meticulous care, our crew skillfully applied PolyLyft, impressing Sandra as she watched her garage floor gradually rise back to its safe and level position. Expressing relief and gratitude, Sandra remarked on Master Services' quick and effective response, appreciating how PolyLyft had swiftly resolved the issue.
