Before & After Photos

Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Loudon, TN. Our skilled team quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, we installed four helical piers, which connect the cement footing to stable ground using steel brackets. The piers' unique design effectively grips the clay-rich soil, allowing us to close the cracks and restore stability to the home.

A property in Loudon, TN showed signs of a seriously bowed retaining wall, raising concerns about the safety of those living in the home. The large horizontal crack across the exterior was caused by ongoing hydrostatic pressure and excessive moisture in the surrounding soil.

To resolve the issue, the Master Services installation team secured the wall with multiple Wall Plate Anchors, effectively transferring the wall’s load to more stable ground. This crucial reinforcement restored stability to the structure and provided peace of mind for the residents. The procedure was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.

Our team recently addressed a settlement issue at a crawlspace in Oak Ridge, TN. Settlement can cause a variety of problems on upper levels, such as sagging floors, difficult-to-open doors and windows, and cracks. To correct the issue, we installed SmartJacks, a system that supports and strengthens sagging beams. With these in place, the crawlspace is now properly supported.

Recently, our crew inspected a home near Oak Ridge, TN to evaluate sagging floors in the bathroom. This issue is widespread in many homes as the wood weakens due to mold overgrowth. To tackle this problem, we utilized our SmartJacks system, which reinforces weakened beams and provides a permanent solution. In this case, we were not only able to stabilize but even raise the first floor to its original height.

In Oak Ridge, TN, the owner of a large building reached out to Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking in their foundation wall. After conducting a thorough foundation assessment, our team determined that soil erosion was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of clay soil, which is a common problem in this specific area of Tennessee. Failing to address this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the building.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured lasting stability and safeguarded the building against further sinking and damage.
