Your Leading Carter County, TN Basement Waterproofing & Structural Repair Company

Joyce W. was interested in turning the basement and crawlspace of her Roan Mountain, TN home into a livable space for her family. She gave a call to Master Dry and someone was sent out almost immediately to inspect the home.

Sales representative, David Kerr was sent out to conduct the inspection. He found that the space needed a considerable amount of work to make it livable, but he was able to skillfully suggest the best course of action for Joyce’s home. At David’s recommendation, two projects were started. First, foreman Cory Blalock was sent out to install helical piers to stabilize the foundation of the home and prevent shifting in the future. Secondly, foreman Matt Fortenberry and his crew were sent out to install a CleanSpace system, including a liner used as a moisture barrier, SilverGlo Wall Insulation, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier to deal with existing moisture, and CleanSpace vent covers.

By the end of these two projects, Joyce was able to feel comfortable in her basement and felt that the work had created a wonderful living space for her as well as her family. Trust your home to Master Dry – they can do the same for you!

The Master Services team visited a home in Elizabethton, TN that had a massively flooded basement. Heavy rains led to flooding, increasing the risk for structural damage and other problems like mold, mildew, and rot. The owner needed a dependable waterproofing strategy in place. 

To ensure the crawlspace would be protected, the team installed two fool-proof systems. We installed our CleanSpace liner and our SmartSump crawl space sump pump, which will work together to keep the area safe from water damage. 

Foundation damage occurs due to a variety of factors, including soil composition, soul expansion and contraction, soil moisture, poor construction practices, and improper drainage, among other reasons. When these problems persist for a period of time, they create problems in and outside of the home. These problems can include springing or sloping floors, cracks, and stuck doors and windows. A homeowner in Watauga, TN noticed signs of settlement around his home, so he called out our team for an inspection and correction strategy.

One of our experienced inspectors looked over the home and recommended our helical pier system. This system can permanently fix settlement issues by using strong surrounding soil to anchor and stabilize a home's foundation. The piers resemble large screws and use friction lock to fortify structures against further damage. 

Our team recently visited Joseph M., a homeowner in Elizabethton, TN, who was dealing with persistent water infiltration in his crawlspace. Seeking to enhance the property value as he prepared to sell the house, Joseph aimed to address the crawlspace area, which had been previously encapsulated with subpar materials by the home builder several years ago.

After a thorough on-site analysis by our home inspector, we implemented our CleanSpace system, a high-quality multilayered barrier designed for optimal resistance. This system, once securely installed, efficiently captures any water or vapor infiltration. We complemented it with our EZFlow perimeter drainage system, redirecting water towards the sump pump for proper disposal.

To enhance heat insulation, we incorporated our SilverGlo system. Its reflective surface redirects heat back into the crawlspace, ensuring optimal energy savings. Beyond preventing water damage in the basement, this solution significantly improves overall air quality throughout the house.

With our comprehensive system in place, Joseph can now have peace of mind, knowing that his crawlspace is not only more energy-efficient but also protected against further deterioration. This upgrade not only benefits him but also allows Joseph to boost the home's value for the next fortunate homeowner!
