Trusted Crawl Space & Basement Waterproofing Contractors Serving Dalton, GA

Linda, a retired nurse in Dalton, GA, noticed troubling stair-step cracks forming around the corner of her home. Having lived in the house for over 30 years, she cherished the memories it held and worried about the long-term stability of the structure. Concerned, she contacted Master Services for help. After an inspection, it was revealed that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels, was the culprit. The team recommended installing three helical piers to stabilize the foundation and prevent further damage.  

When the scheduled day for the repairs arrived, an unexpected snowfall blanketed the area, a rare sight in Dalton, where winters are typically mild. Despite the freezing conditions, the Master Services crew showed incredible dedication. Bundled up against the cold, they worked diligently to complete the installation of the piers, ensuring that Linda’s home was stabilized. Their commitment didn’t go unnoticed, and Linda expressed her gratitude, saying, “You worked through weather we hardly ever see here, just to make sure my home was safe. That means so much to me.”  

Once the piers were installed, the trenches were carefully backfilled and leveled, leaving Linda’s yard in great shape despite the snow. As she stood by her window watching the flakes fall, she felt an immense sense of relief.

Anthony recently detected an unpleasant odor emanating from his crawlspace. Concerned, he decided to investigate further, discovering that the encapsulation completed years ago was now in disarray. The materials had deteriorated, resulting in water damage, mold growth, and even signs of pest intrusion. Aware of the severity of the situation, he realized he needed professional assistance. This led him to contact Master Services, a company renowned for their expertise in crawlspace repair and encapsulation.

Upon inspection, our home inspector confirmed Anthony's suspicions: the previous encapsulation was failing, putting the crawlspace at risk of significant damage. We reassured Anthony that we had the perfect solution: the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, known for its durability and effectiveness.

Our crew diligently removed the old, substandard materials and commenced the installation of the CleanSpace® barrier. This new system would establish a robust, moisture-resistant barrier, thwarting any potential water damage and mold growth. Additionally, we sealed off the vents, ensuring pests could no longer easily infiltrate the crawlspace.

To address the persistent moisture issue, we installed a Sedona dehumidifier. This cutting-edge device was designed to foster the optimal environment for the crawlspace by eliminating excess moisture and enhancing air quality. Anthony was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and meticulousness of the Master Services team.

As the project neared completion, Anthony noticed a remarkable difference. The unpleasant odors had vanished, and he was confident that his home was now safeguarded against future damage.

Ben S., a homeowner in Dalton, GA, noticed nearly a 1-inch sink in his sidewalk following heavy rainfall. Over time, he observed this sink worsening, with additional cracks appearing elsewhere on the sidewalk. Concerned about the issue's potential escalation, he promptly contacted Master Services. After scheduling an appointment, one of our home inspectors visited his property and identified the cause: a combination of poor soil compacting and soil washout due to recent heavy rainfall. When combined with the natural hardening of cement over time, water erosion can remove soil, weakening the sidewalk and causing cracking and sinking. Fortunately, we offered a prompt and effective solution using our innovative PolyLyft method. PolyLyft is designed to elevate and level various surfaces by injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area, gently raising the sunken slab back to its original position. Unlike traditional methods such as complete concrete replacement, PolyLyft provides a cost-effective and long-lasting solution.
