Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company in Knoxville, TN

Our team received a call to assess a house in Knoxville, TN, where the homeowner was concerned about reinforcing the structure of their basement ahead of the fall season. The homeowner had previously installed wooden beams to prevent wall bowing but found that this solution was ineffective.

After a thorough analysis, we recommended the implementation of our innovative Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps possess remarkable strength, comparable to steel, but offer the advantage of a non-intrusive installation process without the need for drilling or heavy machinery. Additionally, once the repairs are completed, the carbon fiber straps can be discreetly concealed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the property.

With the Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system in place, the basement is now fortified against potential structural challenges for years to come. The homeowner can have peace of mind, knowing that their basement has been effectively reinforced and protected.

Crawlspaces without encapsulation systems inevitably will begin to see signs of moisture, mold, mildew, pests, rot, and damage. For many crawlspaces, it's only a matter of time before the area becomes overwhelmed by flooding and humidity, which create nasty conditions. Worse, a festering crawlspace eventually impacts life upstairs, as mold aggravates allergies, respiratory conditions, and asthma. 

A homeowner in Knoxville, TN had a liner in her crawlspace, but it was not averting mold and moisture as it should. Master Services visited to inspect the area and provide a moisture-proofing strategy that she could depend on for years to come. We recommended several products to provide long-term and effective protection: our CleanSpace moisture barrier, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and SilverGlo wall insulation panels. 

With these systems installed, this homeowner should have no more crawlspace worries. 

We were contacted by a customer in Knoxville, TN regarding our crawlspace moisture barrier system. The homeowner hadn't noticed any alarming signs of mold, mildew, rot, or pests in his crawlspace, but he wanted to get the area in tip-top shape before there were any problems. He called us out to perform an inspection and make a recommendation for the best waterproofing system possible.

We recommended our most comprehensive crawlspace system: the CleanSpace moisture barrier. This is a crisp, white, and tear-resistant liner that is installed along the ground and walls of the area. It serves as a shield between vulnerable areas and water. It comes with a 25-year warranty and, in addition to waterproofing the area, deters insects and animals from moving inside and setting up nests. 

Whether this customer plans to stay in the home or sell, his crawlspace will be in excellent condition! 

A homeowner in Knoxville, TN had lived in his home for about a year. He noticed moisture seemed to be a constant presence in his basement, and was particularly bothered by discoloration along a basement wall due to water damage. He hadn't detected any mold yet, but he knew that it was only a matter of time!

Our team performed a detailed inspection and recommended two of our most resilient products: our TripleSafe Sump Pump and CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier. The sump pump collects excess water and directs it to a perimeter drainage system, which empties the water safely outside the home. The barrier acts as a shield between walls and water vapor, keeping vulnerable surfaces safe from mold, rot, and staining. 

This homeowner should have no more worries now that our products are in place. 

The crawlspace of this Knoxville, TN home was in quite a state of neglect. Pools of water were forming, and the potential for the growth of mold and mildew was enormous!

To clean and brighten up the area, Master Services installed our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier. This liner is tear-resistant and comes with a 25-year warranty, and it also serves as a radon mitigation system. The liner acts as a barrier between crawlspaces and the earth, providing protection from humidity and water vapor. This means that mold and mildew can’t settle on vulnerable surfaces like wood, cardboard, and insulation.

This crawlspace is now in tip-top condition!

If these walls could talk, this Knoxville, TN home would certainly have a lot to tell. Built in the 1930s, this home has been through a lot—and before Master Services arrived, it was being subjected to mold, mustiness, and a lack of energy efficiency.

To rehabilitate the space, the Master Services team turned to our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier. Our liner is tear-resistant, bright, and prevents humidity or water vapor from passing through it and creating mold on surfaces. The liner also comes with a 25-year warranty, meaning your crawlspace will have the protection necessary to keep mildew, mold, rot, and critters from settling in.

This customer was happy with our work because one of her biggest concerns was having the job done right, and Master Services exceeded her expectations. With this liner in place, this home may see many more years to come.

Jon, Leon, and Justin had a concrete leveling job in Knoxville, TN. There was a large “stair step” crack along the front brick facade of a home. The concrete slab of the porch had shifted, causing a large crack in the wall.

To fix the problem, the team drilled holes at intervals into the concrete. Next, high-density PolyLyft was injected into the holes.

The polyurethane expanded, lifting the cement slab.  As the concrete slab rose, it lifted the brick wall and sealed the crack.  Once this was finished, the team patched up the holes.

Kevin N. of Knoxville, TN noticed that the ceiling and upper wall of his basement was detached from the rest of the wall. The ceiling was also sagging. He was uncertain of the cause, but since the space was underneath the garage and had to support a lot of weight, he knew that it was best to have it checked out by a professional. Kevin called Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing Specialists and set up an appointment to have his basement inspected.

Sure enough, when foundation expert David A. Kerr arrived on the scene, he informed Kevin that the wall and ceiling separation was a result of foundation shifting. The wall would have to be reattached to the foundation to remove the gap and restore the strength of the structure. Foreman Josh Williams and his crew installed five wall anchors to help stabilize the wall and return it to its original position.

Because of David, Josh, and the rest of the Master Dry team, Kevin can now enjoy his home like he is supposed to – without worrying! And if any other problems come up, Kevin can count on Master Dry’s superior services and friendly specialists to give him the results he deserves!

Knoxville, TN homeowner Lee R.’s crawlspace was overrun with structural and cosmetic issues. Along with mold and water damage, the main beam supporting the crawlspace was broken beyond repair. Daunted by the state of his home, Lee decided to call in the specialists at Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing to help him out.

Crawlspace repair expert Sam Newgent came to inspect Lee’s crawlspace and suggest solutions to remove the water, clear up the mold, and save the space’s structural integrity.
