Before & After Photos

At Master Services, we use proven solutions like push piers to restore safety and stability to your home's foundation. In this before-and-after example, you'll see how we corrected sinking brick stairs, a common issue that poses both a tripping hazard and a liability. Our team expertly lifted and stabilized the structure, restoring the stairs to their original, proper height.

A homeowner in Powell, TN, reached out to Master Services with concerns about large cracks forming around one of the window frames and a noticeable gap in the garage. Our home inspector quickly assessed the foundation and identified soil settling as the culprit, caused by fluctuating moisture levels in the soil. The clay beneath the cement slab had contracted due to the intense summer heat, leading to the house sinking on one side—a common issue in the area. 

Recognizing the urgency, we explained that if left unresolved, this could lead to more severe structural problems. To reinforce the foundation, we recommended installing two helical piers beneath a pillar near the garage. These piers would provide the necessary support to prevent further settling. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close and felt reassured that their home was now secure and stable for the future.

A homeowner in Powell, TN, contacted Master Services after discovering a long horizontal crack in their basement wall. Their house, situated on the side of a hill, was under constant hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil, which had caused part of the wall to begin bowing inward. Worried about their home’s structural stability, they needed a reliable solution to support their plans of turning the basement into a functional living space.  

During our inspection, we detected early signs of wall failure and recommended the PowerBrace™ system. This solution features steel I-beams securely fastened to the joists above with steel brackets, providing immediate reinforcement while allowing adjustments over time to help return the wall to its original position.  

The project was completed quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact on both the inside and outside of the property. Now, the homeowner can move forward with peace of mind, knowing their basement is stable, secure, and ready for its transformation. 🏠✨

A homeowner in Andersonville, TN reached out to Master Services for assistance with sagging floors. Our team performed a thorough inspection and pinpointed the specific areas in the basement that needed support. To effectively address the problem, we utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system, specifically designed for compact spaces. These specialized jacks provide durable support for weakened crawlspace beams, offering a long-term solution for sagging floors.

This porch located near Eagan, TN was sinking, probably due to the weight of the slab and the washing away of soils. To fix it, Master Services drilled holes at strategic spots along the slab, then injected them with PolyLyft. As the polyurethane expanded, it raised the slab to an even position.
