Howard R. had been experiencing water damage in his Bulls Gap, TN home's crawl space. He was seeking a service company when he came across Master Dry at a home show. He scheduled a free inspection and estimate to determine what would need to be done to solve is problems. Sales Representative Brent Fillers provided a thorough inspection of Howard's home, and he decided to go through with the repair.

Led by foreman Levi Wilson, a team of Masters went to work on getting the water out of Howard's crawl space. They installed a drainage system, which pumps out the water from the crawl space. A LawnScape outlet was installed, which prevents rainwater from being released directly beside the crawl space on the outside of the home. An IceGuard was also installed on the outside of the crawl space so prevent any blockage of the Sump Pump pipe during the frozen East Tennessee winters.

Howard was very satisfied with the work that Master Dry provided. He even commented on how hard the men worked while repairing his crawl space. Now, Howard no longer has water in his crawl space and will continue to live happy and healthy. 

This Eidson, TN homeowner was concerned about maximizing his energy savings. His crawlspace was full of old, soggy insulation that was hanging in clumps from every nook and cranny. The area needed a serious overhaul to get it as clean and energy- efficient as possible.

Master Services knew the perfect solution: our SilverGlo Crawlspace Wall Insulation. These panels are installed along the perimeter of the crawlspace to provide maximum protection. They are comprised of silver graphite particles that reflect heat and lower conductivity. In some cases, these panels are installed along the rim joist for maximum energy savings.

With the SilverGlo system in place, this homeowner can enjoy knowing that his crawlspace is in tip-top, energy-efficient shape.

Moisture is not a negligible problem for crawlspaces or basements. This Church Hill, TN crawlspace was retaining groundwater whenever it rained, increasing the possibility of mold growth and structural damage. The homeowner wanted the problem taken care of before it led to expensive repair costs, so they called out the Master Services team.

When water gathers in a crawlspace, it creates mold and wood rot. These not only destroy the area, but attract pests and animals. To keep the crawlspace protected, we installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system and crawlspace sump pump. With both systems in place, the area will be protected against the effects of water and mold.

This basement in Bulls Gap, TN was inundated with humidity and standing water. Below-grade spaces often are subject to moisture issues, which compound over time without intervention. Moisture will generate mold, which thrives on wet surfaces. As mold moves in, rot often follows, eating away at wood, drywall, insulation, and more. 

If the problem isn't fixed, structural issues can result... which will necessitate expensive and disruptive repairs! Foul odors, too, will begin to waft upstairs. To keep these things from happening, our team installed a reliable and durable sump pump system. Our TripleSafe pump comes with thee levels of protection to ensure the basement will be protected at all times, even in the event of a power outgage. 

Now this basement will remain dry, safe, and sanitary!

A property owner not far from Sevierville, TN was worried about the conditions of his crawlspace. It was wet, moldy, and pervaded by a nasty smell. He knew that these are symptoms of a "sick" below-grade space, so he contacted Master Services to inspect the area and provide a moisture-proofing strategy... which we did!

After inspecting the crawlspace, we recommended several products. One was our CleanSpace moisture barrier, a tough, mold-resistant liner that protects against water and comes with a 25-year warranty. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier system, which prevents humidity from collecting in below-grade areas. 

With our products at work in this crawlspace, moisture, mold, and odors will be a thing of the past. 

The installation team from Master Services successfully resolved a bowed foundation wall issue in Rogersville, TN using Wall Plate Anchors. Over time, the wall had developed cracks due to excess moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. The homeowner, who was using the room as an additional living space, sought a permanent solution to alleviate concerns.

By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the wall was stabilized by connecting it to the stable soil around it, providing additional support to the house's structure. The procedure was carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.

Our team swiftly responded to a distress call from April F., a homeowner in Church Hill, TN, who expressed concern about the retaining wall at the back of her house. The wall exhibited several large cracks and signs of tipping, which are often indicative of hydrostatic pressure caused by variations in the water content of the surrounding soil. 

After our home inspector thoroughly assessed the situation and explained the underlying cause to April, we identified five specific points requiring immediate reinforcement. Our crew excavated around the wall and installed Geo Locks to provide stability. Additionally, we drilled into the wall and installed five Wall Anchors, connecting them to the Geo Locks to create a sturdy support system between the wall and the soil. This approach effectively grips the soil, preventing further settling and often restoring the site to its original height. 

Once the installation was complete and the holes were filled, the yard was restored with minimal disruption. With this comprehensive system in place, April can now rest assured that her retainer wall is safeguarded from any further issues.

Mark, a homeowner in Church Hill, TN, was facing a significant issue with his indoor swimming pool room. The room, enclosed by soil on three sides, had developed visible signs of efflorescence and three alarming cracks in one of its walls. The problem was escalating due to the constant humidity and hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding terrain, pushing against the wall and causing structural instability.

Seeking a solution, Mark reached out to Master Services. Our expert installation crew promptly arrived and assessed the situation, deciding that the best course of action was to install seven Wall Anchors. These anchors were strategically placed to stabilize the wall by connecting it securely to the nearby stable soil, effectively countering the external pressure.

Throughout the process, our team worked efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of Mark's property. The installation of the Wall Anchors not only reinforced the integrity of the swimming pool room but also provided Mark with peace of mind, knowing his home was secure.

Thanks to Master Services, the wall was successfully stabilized, and Mark could once again enjoy his indoor swimming pool without worrying about further damage. This solution not only addressed the immediate issue but also enhanced the overall safety and stability of his home.

In Mt. Carmel, TN, a homeowner recently purchased a charming stone cottage perched atop a somewhat sandy hill with dreams of transforming it into a cozy bed and breakfast. However, as they began making restoration plans, they noticed the house tilting slightly to one side. Concerned about the stability of their new investment, they reached out to us for help.

Upon inspection, our team discovered that the foundation had started to settle due to the loose and poorly compacted soil beneath the structure. To address the issue, we recommended installing helical piers, which are large, screw-like anchors designed to reach the more stable ground below.

These piers were carefully positioned to meet the required depth and capacity, ensuring a solid connection to the footing using steel foundation brackets. By securing the home to firmer soil, we were able to restore stability to the cottage, providing peace of mind to the homeowner.

Thanks to the successful installation of these helical piers, the homeowner can now move forward with their plans, confident that their future bed and breakfast will remain secure and welcoming for years to come.

Susan, a homeowner in Church Hill, TN, contacted our team after her partner, Dan, noticed cracks and bowing in the basement walls while using the space as their home gym. The basement had become an important part of their daily routine, serving as both a workout area and storage space for their fitness equipment. Concerned about the safety of the structure, Susan decided it was time to address the issue before it worsened.  

After inspecting the property, our home inspector, Mark, explained that hydrostatic pressure was causing the walls to bow and crack. He recommended the CarbonArmor® system, a non-invasive solution using carbon fiber straps that are 10 times stronger than steel. Susan was relieved to hear the repairs wouldn’t require excavation and could be completed quickly. Within a day, our crew installed the system, reinforcing the walls and preventing further damage.  

The sleek straps blended seamlessly into the walls, preserving the gym’s clean and functional appearance. With the foundation now secure, Susan and Dan could continue their fitness routine with peace of mind, knowing their home was safe and stable for years to come.
