Greene County, TN Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

Charles and Cindy M. called Master Dry in an effort to eliminate the water in the basement of their Afton, TN home. The water damage had been building up for about ten years and the couple was interested in making their basement a livable space.

Scott Frazier, a sales associate for Master Dry was sent out to take a look at the home and decide which solution would work best. At Scott’s recommendation, a team led my foreman Michael Geasland went to work on the couple’s basement. To correct the water damage that had been suffered, the team installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to dry and filter the air, a WaterGuard drainage system to prevent future water backups, and a SuperSump pump as another preventative measure in case water were to accumulate in the basement. This particular SuperSump was also equipped with UltraSump, a backup battery that will keep the pump running in the event of a power outage. To complete the project, the team also replaced that water heater in the home as well as the HVAC unit.

Now that this couple’s water damage issues are solved, they have such more livable space in their home and are much happier with their situation. Give Master Dry a call – they can do the same for you!

This homeowner in Mohawk, TN was concerned about moisture in her basement. An unpleasant odor was wafting up from the area and it only got worse as time progressed.

Our most powerful system, the TripleSafe sump pump, even comes with three pumps and a backup generator to ensure that the area is kept dry and protected. 

To further waterproof the space, Master Services installed a CleanSpace liner. This durable, tear-resistant liner further insulates against moisture and its ravages.

By the time our team was finished, the homeowner was confident that her basement was thoroughly waterproofed.

Our team visited a homeowner in Mohawk, TN to address some issues in her crawlspace. The area was cruddy, dank, and moist... big problems for a below-grade space! Once moisture sets in, mold and rot surely follow.

This crawlspace now is pristine, protected, and bright! 

Foundation walls usually display signs of buckling and bowing when they fail. Other signs include stair-step cracks, bulging, and leaning. Why they fail often is due to expansive soils or hydrostatic pressure on the walls from the outside. A homeowner near Mohawk, TN contacted our team after purchasing a home for the purpose of flipping it. He noticed that interior walls were buckling, so he needed a repair strategy to halt further damage. 

We recommended our carbon fiber reinforcement technique. This method relies on carbon fiber strapping to strengthen weakened walls. First, the strapping is soaked in epoxy, then pressed against the wall until the epoxy cures. As it does, it strengthens and supports the wall to prevent further damage. The straps can easily be concealed with a fresh coat of paint! 

A homeowner in Mosheim, TN noticed some worrisome signs of damage along her foundation walls. The walls were showing signs of buckling, bowing, and cracking, which indicates problems with hydrostatic pressure or soil surrounding the home. Our team took a look and recommended our incredible carbon fiber reinforcement system, which relies on carbon fiber strapping soaked in epoxy to straighten weakening walls. 

We start by cleaning the wall using a hand-held grinder. This removes old paint that might interfere with the bonding process. Next, we mix epoxy and saturate carbon fiber strapping with it, then press the strapping against the wall. Once the epoxy cures, the wall can be painted or otherwise concealed. 

This is a fantastic alternative to completely replacing a wall! 

While planting some decorative plants outside in Greeneville, TN, Marion Z. couldn't help but notice the empty space forming under her front porch. Since she was already familiar with Master Services, she decided to contact us, hoping to stop further sinking in her front porch. Upon being contacted by Marion, Master Services swiftly scheduled an appointment with the goal of providing a lasting remedy. Our team expertly identified the root cause, soil washout, and applied high-density PolyLyft at key locations to address the void beneath the concrete slab, ensuring stability and structural integrity. With these solutions in place, Marion could now walk on her front porch without fear of further cracking!

Upon noticing her driveway tilting and sinking, especially after heavy rainfall, Johanna S., a homeowner in Chuckey, TN, wasted no time in seeking help from Master Services. Recognizing the potential seriousness of the issue, she quickly scheduled an appointment with our team.

Upon inspection, our home inspector identified soil washout as the cause of the cracks in Johanna's driveway. This erosion, exacerbated by heavy rainfall, had led to the removal of soil from underneath the concrete, resulting in sinking and tilting. Combined with the natural hardening of cement over time, this process often leads to cracks.

Fortunately, we were able to provide Johanna with a prompt and effective solution using our innovative PolyLyft method. Specifically designed for elevating and leveling sunken concrete slabs, PolyLyft involves injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area. This process gently raises the sunken slab back to its original position, offering a cost-effective and enduring solution to the issue.

Now, with the settling problem effectively addressed, Johanna can enjoy her back patio even during harsh weather conditions without worry.

A business owner contacted Master Services after one of his customers tripped right in front of his door on a segment of the sidewalk. Realizing that this problem could not be postponed any longer, he decided to seek professional help. 

Our home inspector quickly identified the issue: the sinking of the cement sidewalk was due to poor soil compaction underneath. Over time, the natural hardening of the cement could further aggravate the situation. To address this, we dispatched our expert PolyLift crew.

In just one afternoon, we were able to restore the height of the sidewalk by injecting PolyLift under the cement slabs. This efficient process did not require the business to close, ensuring minimal disruption while effectively resolving the hazard.
