In a newly built home near Athens, TN, a homeowner named John noticed unsettling cracks forming at the corner of his garage. Concerned about the potential for structural damage, he contacted Master Services for an inspection. Our team quickly identified that soil erosion had caused the foundation to settle, leading to a noticeable stair-step crack in the garage corner.
To address the issue, we installed two helical piers—large screw-like supports designed to anchor the home into stable ground, preventing further settling. With the piers in place, the foundation is now secure, giving John peace of mind that his home will remain stable for years to come.
In a newly built home near Athens, TN, positioned on the side of a small hill with red clay soil, a homeowner noticed a troubling crack forming on the first floor.

The homeowner can rest easy knowing their property is protected against future shifts and will remain stable for years to come.
