After their call to Master Dry, sales representative David Kerr visited the couple’s home to inspect the area and assess the damage. According to David’s recommendations, a team led by foreman Nick Crozier was sent out to the home to begin work. They began by conducting mold remediation on the crawlspace and installing a Santa Fe Edge dehumidifier to remove the moisture from the crawlspace that had allowed mold to thrive. In addition, a SmartSump pump as a precaution to pump out any water that might become trapped in the crawlspace.

The front of this business in Tazewell, TN was sagging. The owner was concerned not only about the integrity of the structure, but the aesthetic appeal of his business. He knew the building needed some foundation help, so he called Master Services.

To give the place a “facelift,” the team began by installing helical piers. Helical piers look like giant screws and are a dependable solution for settlement issues. To install them, the team exposed the building’s footing to make room for the pier brackets. Next, the piers were driven until the torque was ready to bear the weight of the structure. Then brackets were installed and attached to the restaurant’s footing. This means that the weight of the building was transferred to the piers, providing exceptional support.

Not only was this an effective solution, but it left little mess and business was hardly disrupted by installation. The owner was pleased with the job.

A couple bought this home in Tazewell, TN late last year. The house was intended to be a vacation home and retreat from the stresses of life—but it wasn’t long before the buyers noticed an odor problem. And, with all the heavy winter rain, they found flooding in the basement. Where there’s flooding, there usually is an odor problem due to mildew and mold. Their “home away from home” was becoming a burden.

Master Services waterproofed the basement by installing our TripleSafe sump pump system, WaterGuard drainage system, and IceGuard discharge line system. The sump pump works in tandem with the drainage system to efficiently collect and carry water from the basement. The discharge line system provides extra protection by ejecting water away from the home in the event of freezing or clogging in the sump pump discharge line. All three systems work together to keep water out of the home.

The homeowners were thrilled to have the problem taken care of, and they look forward to many vacations in the future.

The Master Services team visited a home in Tazewell, TN that was having foundation issues. When a structure undergoes settlement, usually due to shifting soils, it can cause a host of problems. These can include cracks, bowing or springy floors, stuck doors and windows, and more. 

To stabilize the foundation, the team installed helical piers. Helical piers resemble giant screws and are secured to strong, resilient soils around the area. They provide support to structures and keep further settlement at bay. 

This home near Lone Mountain, TN lacked a waterproofing system in the basement. During heavy rains, water pooled inside and created the potential for rot, mold, and water damage. 

The team turned to our most dependable sump pump system: the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. This system provides three levels of protection and works even during power outages. It will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. This comprehensive system offers the most power, protection, and peace of mind. 

With our sump pump installed, water won't have an opportunity to damage the home.

It's not uncommon for foundation walls to shift, bow, and crack over time, largely due to the movement of surrounding soils. Foundation walls also will buckle or crack due to hydrostatic pressure, which occurs when the ground outside the walls is soaked and exerts pressure on them. 

To stabilize the walls of this Arthur, TN home, Master Services turned to our carbon fiber reinforcement technique. This method uses carbon fiber strips that are soaked in epoxy resin, then applied to the wall until they dry. As they dry, they straighten and strengthen, providing durable and long-lasting support to the foundation and minimizing the risk of further damage. 

Water vapor creates a host of problems for below-grade spaces, including mold, mildew, and rot. What's more, the mold and mildew that result from moisture can affect residents of the home, aggravating allergies and asthma. Wood, insulation, drywall, and other permeable surfaces are prime areas for mold growth, but Master Services has a solution. For this home in Shawanee, TN, we installed our CleanSpace wall liner.

This liner comes with a 25-year warranty and is tear and mold resistant, making it a crucial protective measure for below-grade areas. The liner not only brightens an area, but prevents humidity and water vapor from passing through and creating ideal conditions for mold growth. 

This homeowner was relieved to no longer have to fret about the state of their basement!

Water will find its way inside below-grade spaces, usually via cracks and windows. During heavy rains, it's common for water to work inside a basement and accumulate. Too much moisture inside the home will invite mold and mildew, and potentially lead to structural problems and impaired health for residents. This Pruden, TN basement needed a dependable system in place to keep it safe and dry.

The Master Services team installed our Triple Safe sump pump, our most dependable and resilient system. This pump offers three levels of protection, ensuring the area will be protected even during a power outage. Homeowners can never go wrong in selecting this system for their waterproofing needs. 

This crawlspace in Clairfield, TN had major issues with humidity. Humidity is disastrous for below-grade spaces, as it encourages mold growth and creates wood rot. As rot sets in, structural elements like joists and beams begin to degrade and collapses. This creates sagging and other issues in the upper levels of the home. 

To address these issues, the Master Services team installed one of our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifying systems. This durable, dependable system controls conditions in the crawlspace and prevents humidity from settling into the area. Our systems provide homeowners with peace of mind and keep below-grade areas safe and dry. 

Most people don't spend much time thinking about the health of their crawlspace, but  problems can plague the area and result in the need for exorbitant repair costs. This home near Eagan, TN had water vapor and moisture issues in the crawlspace. Left unchecked, this could lead to mold, mildew, wood rot, and rising energy bills.

To stave off moisture and mold, Master Services installed our reliable CleanSpace encapsulation liner and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier system. The liner acts as a shield between the crawlspace and moisture, as well as radon, which is extremely harmful to the health of residents. The dehumidifier keeps water vapor from collecting and settling on vulnerable areas, like wood, drywall, insulation, and more. 

These two systems complement each other and ensure the area will remain dry and sanitary. 

Many homeowners hear the words "foundation settlement" and assume that the problem is extreme or that the repairs will be particularly disruptive to their normal routine. While some cases require extensive work, it's possible to identify damage before the problem is too advanced. This home in Speedwell, TN definitely had some settlement problems, but our team had the right tools and system to fix them!

We recommended a combination of helical and push piers to remedy the settlement. Our piers depend on either bedrock or surrounding soil to anchor them and provide the support a home needs. Best yet, there generally is no sign of installation or evidence that the piers are even in place!

This home is fully supported with Master Services' piers installed.
