Professional Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair Contractor in Oak Ridge, TN

Our team received a call from Margaret G., a homeowner in Oak Ridge, TN, who had successfully encapsulated her crawlspace last year. Unfortunately, she noticed that some jacks she had installed were sinking, causing her kitchen floor to warp again. Concerned about cracks appearing on the kitchen walls, she reached out to Master Services to help restore stability. Our team promptly responded and quickly identified the areas that needed immediate support. After our home inspector visited the house, our production crew installed five SmartJacks. These devices are suitable for installation in tight spaces, such as this crawlspace. After digging some holes and creating a stable base, we proceeded to level the jacks. Once installed, Margaret will be able to rest assured that her floor won't sink any longer.

A crawlspace in Oak Ridge, TN was in a sorry state. Its encapsulation system was old, tattered, stained, and ripped in places, providing little protection from moisture. Some homeowners ignore their crawlspace altogether, but it's essential to keep the area free from moisture, mold, odors, rot, and pests. 

Our team inspected the area and recommended our CleanSpace moisture barrier. The barrier is tear, mold, and mildew resistant and protects the area from moisture-related damage. Our team also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which keeps the area dry and sanitary. 

This customer in Oak Ridge, TN had lived in the home for 47 years. While they hadn't detected any musty smells or flooding issues, the crawlspace was in a messy, unsanitary state. They wanted it to be cleaned and brightened up.

To fix the crawlspace, the team installed our tried-and-true encapsulation system. Our CleanSpace liner is mold and mildew resistant, tear resistant, and protects vulnerable areas from moisture. It mitigates energy costs and brightens up dank, dirty crawlspaces. 

The homeowner was happy to finally have his crawlspace in pristine condition. 

Homeowner Ruth R. of Oak Ridge, TN realized she needed to call in a professional foundation repair contractor when she noticed the once-small crack in her back patio becoming bigger. Ruth decided to contact Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing Specialists via their website to schedule an appointment with an expert who could help. Structural specialist Scott Frazier inspected the property.

Foreman Josh Williams and his team executed the complex plan. There were several problems with the foundation that all needed to be fixed – otherwise Ruth could be in more trouble later on. Water was pooling beneath Ruth’s home and eroding the soil, meaning that the whole foundation was sitting on unstable ground. This water both above and below ground needed to be redirected away from the foundation. A gutter downspout extension and exterior waterproofing solved this part of the problem. The crew installed helical piers, push piers and slab jacks to lift the foundation back to its proper position.

In the end, taking that first step and contacting Master Dry was the best decision Ruth made for the safety and longevity of her home. Now she can help other overwhelmed homeowners by pointing them to the trusted source for foundation repair and waterproofing!

Water damage and debris filled Michelle G.’s Oak Ridge, TN basement. She feared a long and painful repair process, but understood that a dry, healthy basement was vital to the overall health of her home. She wanted to make sure she hired the right contractor to restore her basement. After researching local companies, Michelle chose Master Dry because of their long-standing reputation as a trusted basement waterproofing company.

Master Dry basement waterproofing specialist Josh Sulfridge inspected the basement. He felt that in order to reverse the water damage and prevent its return, Michelle would need to invest in a high quality sump pump and a foolproof drainage system. Foreman Michael Geasland carried out these suggestions. He and his team installed a sump pump with a battery backup, called a SuperSump and an UltraSump, to efficiently and effectively remove water in the basement. And Michelle’s new WaterGuard drainage system and extra discharge lines ensured that all the water had enough outlets. Michelle could count on this integrated system to protect her home from harm!

Josh, Michael and the rest of the Master Dry team gave Michelle a dry, clean basement. But they also gave her the support and reassurance she needed to regain control of her home!

Robert and Suzanne S. of Oak Ridge, TN originally hired Master Dry Foundation and Waterproofing Specialists to clean up their dirty, moldy crawl space. During this job, the expert team also discovered a crack in the foundation. This was evidence that the support beams holding up the floor above the crawl space were not functioning adequately anymore, probably because mold and rot damage compromised the beams. The extra weight was distributed elsewhere, but no part of the structure could bear the load, which is why the wall cracked. Master Dry structural specialist Frank Yelencich suggested that Robert and Suzanne have these beams fixed to repair the integrity of their home.

Foreman Nick Crozier and his team installed SmartJack crawl space supports to reinforce the sagging beams and transfer the weight that they hold to stable ground, where the jacks are anchored. The crew also replaced a section of one of the beams entirely, as it was too rotted and no longer structurally sound.

Without Master Dry’s help, Robert and Suzanne may have never known about the structural problem in their crawl space. The homeowners are glad they contacted the company for the job, and plan to do so in the future if they ever come across another problem in their home!
