Master Services serving Cumberland, TN

Everett S. of Crossville, TN was surprised to find how moist the environment in his crawl space was. He was also shocked to find another major issue - a large crack in one of the crawl space walls. After researching crawl space repair on the Internet, he came across the website for Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing Specialists, a local waterproofing contractor. He signed up for a free estimate through the website and someone called him back the next day to schedule an appointment.

Crawl space expert Curtis Ward of Master Dry performed an inspection of the crawl space. He recommended having push piers installed to support the foundation and address the crack in the crawl space wall. To return the crawl space to a dry, healthy environment, he suggested a SaniDry CX dehumidifier and vent covers to keep outside air out. Foreman Josh Williams and his team arrived promptly and began work on the crawl space. Josh noticed that water from the gutters was landing right next to the foundation and was seeping into the crawl space. He suggested installing a downspout extension and a LawnScape outlet to direct water away from the house.

Within a couple days, the work was completed. Everett no long has to worry about water or mold infiltrating his crawl space. If he has any other foundation or waterproofing problems in the future, he knows exactly who to call!

After a particularly heavy rainfall, Eugene H. of Crossville, TN, was shocked to find a small flood in his unfinished basement. In need of a waterproofing contractor in his area, Eugene decided to call Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing Specialists after seeing their booth at a local home improvement expo.

Master Dry’s waterproofing expert Frank Yelencich conducted an inspection of Eugene’s basement and provided him with a free estimate for suggested repairs. Foreman Michael Geasland soon arrived on the job to install a WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump to remove water and keep Eugene’s basement dry, even during periods of heavy rain. The crew also installed an IceGuard discharge line device to ensure that water would be able to drain out of the basement even if the pipes become frozen or blocked. This water is directed to a LawnScape outlet where it is carried away from the foundation to avoid further drainage issues and foundation damage.

Now when a storm hits the area, Eugene won’t have to run downstairs to check on his basement because he has a trusty waterproofing system to keep his home dry and healthy!

Del P. of Crossville, TN was no stranger to construction. He built his brick family home with his own two hands. But when his retaining wall cracked straight up and down, he needed to call in a foundation specialist to determine the best way to repair it. Del was familiar with Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing Specialists’ work and called to set up a free estimate with specialist Scott Frazier.

Scott informed Del that the outward pressure against the retaining wall had caused it to crack. Fortunately, no excavation or foundation repair would be needed to rectify the situation. To increase the strength of the wall, he suggested simply supporting the retaining wall at its weakest point, where the crack had emerged. Foreman Josh Williams and his team therefore installed two helical tiebacks. Made of steel, the tiebacks reattached and reinforced the retaining wall. They are also thin enough so that Del can replace the stone on top and hide the tiebacks, restoring the aesthetic appeal of his home!

The team’s work was definitely up to Del’s standards. He can appreciate and enjoy his lovely home once again. And if there is ever any more work that Del’s skilled hands can’t handle by themselves, he has a dependable partner in Master Dry!

This Crossville, TN resident was concerned about the presence of mold in his crawlspace. Mold not only eats away at wood and other dead organic materials, but makes its way into the rest of the home. It can cause allergies, asthma, headaches, and other physical ailments. The homeowner knew he needed a solid mold remediation strategy, so he called Master Services.

To counter the problem, the team used our soda blasting technique to target and kill mold on afflicted surfaces. The spray effectively kills mold without compromising the surface or structure of the home, and it prevents regrowth of mold spores.

By the time the team was finished, there wasn’t a spot of mold in sight and the resident was relieved to know their crawlspace was protected.

The driveway of this Pleasant Hill, TN home was sinking. When weather fluctuates, it can cause soils to contract or wash away. This can lead to settlement and damage, including cracks and breaks.

To fix the problem, the Master Services team used our miracle PolyLyft. First, the team drills holes along the concrete slab. Next, they inject the PolyLyft into the holes. As the polyurethane expands, it fills voids beneath the concrete. This effectively raises the slab to an even position, sealing cracks and leveling things out.

The homeowner was pleased to see that their driveway was even and no longer sinking.
