This retaining wall in Chattanooga, Tennessee had begun to show major signs of structural stress, with large horizontal and stair step cracks forming along the brickwork. These types of cracks are often a result of soil pressure or shifting behind the wall. Our team installed a series of wall anchors, which are designed to permanently stabilize failing walls by anchoring them into stable soil beyond the wall. These galvanized steel anchors help halt further movement and can straighten the wall over time.
The Master Services team headed to a home near Lupton City, TN to fix serious problems with the foundation. Settlement often occurs when soils shift or erode, causing cracks and other problems. To fix this home, we installed both helical and push piers, which will stabilize and secure the foundation to prevent further damage.
The owner of a residence located in Rossville, GA sought out Master Services' aid in addressing the problem of drooping floors in their crawlspace. After examining the issue, our team discovered that the underlying cause was due to a weak spot beneath the kitchen floor, leading to structural complications.
To effectively tackle this problem, we utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are engineered to provide robust support for sagging floors, offering a long-term solution to weakened crawlspace beams. The Smart Jacks system stands out due to its installation flexibility, allowing it to be utilized in cramped spaces where access may be restricted. This feature makes it a practical option for residences that face spatial constraints.

This issue is common, particularly during abrupt temperature changes. Overlooking this problem could potentially jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, especially within the local terrain. By incorporating these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and safeguarded their property.
