Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair Experts Serving Tazewell, TN

The Master Services team visited a home in Tazewell, TN that was having foundation issues. When a structure undergoes settlement, usually due to shifting soils, it can cause a host of problems. These can include cracks, bowing or springy floors, stuck doors and windows, and more. 

To stabilize the foundation, the team installed helical piers. Helical piers resemble giant screws and are secured to strong, resilient soils around the area. They provide support to structures and keep further settlement at bay. 

A couple bought this home in Tazewell, TN late last year. The house was intended to be a vacation home and retreat from the stresses of life—but it wasn’t long before the buyers noticed an odor problem. And, with all the heavy winter rain, they found flooding in the basement. Where there’s flooding, there usually is an odor problem due to mildew and mold. Their “home away from home” was becoming a burden.

Master Services waterproofed the basement by installing our TripleSafe sump pump system, WaterGuard drainage system, and IceGuard discharge line system. The sump pump works in tandem with the drainage system to efficiently collect and carry water from the basement. The discharge line system provides extra protection by ejecting water away from the home in the event of freezing or clogging in the sump pump discharge line. All three systems work together to keep water out of the home.

The homeowners were thrilled to have the problem taken care of, and they look forward to many vacations in the future.

The front of this business in Tazewell, TN was sagging. The owner was concerned not only about the integrity of the structure, but the aesthetic appeal of his business. He knew the building needed some foundation help, so he called Master Services.

To give the place a “facelift,” the team began by installing helical piers. Helical piers look like giant screws and are a dependable solution for settlement issues. To install them, the team exposed the building’s footing to make room for the pier brackets. Next, the piers were driven until the torque was ready to bear the weight of the structure. Then brackets were installed and attached to the restaurant’s footing. This means that the weight of the building was transferred to the piers, providing exceptional support.

Not only was this an effective solution, but it left little mess and business was hardly disrupted by installation. The owner was pleased with the job.

A family in Tazewell, TN had spent years trying to deal with a mold problem in the basement of their home. When the problem finally became too difficult to deal with, they turned to Master Dry for the experience and expertise to solve their mold issue.

Sales representative, Jerry Sheffield visited the home to conduct a preliminary inspection and assess the situation. On inspection, Jerry found plenty of mold growing in the basement and crawlspace and was able to suggest the best course of action to clean up the family’s basement. After consideration, the family had a crew, led by foreman Josh Sulfridge, come out to their home to begin work. The team began by installing a CleanSpace Liner in the crawlspace to act as a moisture barrier to protect the home. Additionally, they installed WaterGuard – a system of drainage pipes – around the perimeter of the basement and a SuperSump pump as a measure to prevent any water from accumulating in the basement and causing mold growth again.
