Our team recently visited Bruce L. in Jefferson City, TN, who had undertaken a basement renovation project. With the aim of converting the area into a bedroom for his child, Bruce wanted to ensure that the space would remain dry at all times.

Following a meticulous on-site inspection conducted by our home inspector, we proceeded with the installation of our WaterGuard perimeter system.

A family in Strawberry Plains, TN, contacted Master Services after noticing visible "ladder cracks" on the exterior walls of their home, particularly around the backdoor. These cracks were hard to miss and raised serious concerns about the structural integrity of their house. Realizing the potential risks, the family sought professional help.

Our experienced Home Inspector promptly visited the property to assess the situation. Upon evaluation, it was determined that soil settling was causing part of the foundation to shift. This type of issue is common in areas with clay-heavy soil, which can expand and contract with moisture changes, leading to significant foundational movements over time.

To address the problem and prevent further damage, our inspector recommended installing four helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement for foundations in challenging soil conditions. The installation process involved driving the piers deep into the ground until they reached stable, load-bearing soil layers. This would anchor the foundation securely and prevent future shifts.

The installation team worked efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to the family's daily life and property. The helical piers were strategically placed to provide the maximum support where it was needed most. Once in place, these piers immediately began to stabilize the foundation, halting any further movement and mitigating the risk of additional cracking or structural damage.

By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence in the safety and stability of their home but also provided a long-term solution to protect their investment. The family can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their property is secure and safeguarded against future foundational issues.
