Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Corryton, TN, reached out to Master Services due to concerns about multiple stair-step cracks that had developed on the exterior walls of their new fireplace. Upon inspection, our team determined that the primary cause of these cracks was the settling of the recently added fireplace, which posed a potential threat to the overall structural integrity of the house.

To avert further damage and stabilize the fireplace, we recommended the installation of helical piers. This solution was particularly suitable, given the prevalent sandy soil in the local area. Helical piers are purpose-designed to significantly reinforce the foundation and ensure long-term stability by anchoring the concrete footing beneath the fireplace to the compacted soil beneath the house.

Master Services visited a home in Corryton, TN, to install our durable PolyLyft and raise a concrete slab. The homeowner noticed a section of the sidewalk sinking, creating a 3-inch gap that posed a tripping hazard for his kids and had the potential for further sinking. Our home inspector explained that as soils are washed away by rain, it often leads to cracks, uneven concrete, and other problems. Thankfully, our PolyLyft crew identified the critical spots, drilled, and then injected the cement with our PolyLyft foam. This product raises the concrete back to its original position within minutes.

In Corryton, TN, Sara had noticed her sidewalk gradually sinking, with cracks forming over time. Concerned about the safety and appearance of her front porch steps, she reached out to Master Services for help. Our home inspector quickly assessed the situation and determined that poorly compacted soil beneath the concrete was the cause. After discussing solutions, Sara decided to move forward with our PolyLyft method, an innovative approach designed to lift and level sunken concrete.

The installation crew arrived and completed the job in just one day. By injecting expanding foam beneath the concrete, they were able to raise the steps back to their original position without the need for costly replacements. Sara was thrilled with the fast, efficient work and felt confident that her sidewalk would remain sturdy for years to come.

The team visited a residence near Arthur, TN that needed help with bowing, cracking walls. To provide support, our team used our carbon fiber reinforcement technique, which uses fiber dipped in epoxy to stabilize walls and minimize damage. 

One of our customers was having basement waterproofing done, but she also had some settlement issues around a foundation wall. It was beginning to crack, so we took a look and recommended our carbon fiber reinforcement system. This system involves soaking carbon fiber straps in epoxy, pressing them to the damaged wall, and waiting for the epoxy to cure. Once it does, the wall is provided dependable support for years to come.
