We visited to a home located in Elizabethton, TN to examine drooping beams in the crawlspace. These beams are prone to decay, displacement, and settling over time due to their inadequate sizing and lack of upkeep, which can lead to structural problems. Our team successfully addressed the issue by implementing our efficient SmartJacks system.
The SmartJacks system is a high-capacity, adjustable steel pier that offers a long-lasting solution by preventing further settling and even restoring the home's floor to its original position. This prompt and efficient repair prevented any potential long-term issues that could have arisen as a result of the neglected beams.
A resident of Elizabethton, TN contacted Master Services for assistance with unstable floors in their bathroom and living room. Our inspection revealed that the underlying cause of the issue stemmed from the crawlspace. Over time, wooden beams in the crawlspace can deteriorate, shift, and settle due to inadequate sizing and maintenance, leading to structural problems. To address this, we utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system, which effectively prevents any potential long-term issues that may arise from neglected beams.
Our team traveled to Elizabethton, TN to assess and strengthen a settling home. As a result of shifting soils and moisture concerns, many homes gradually settle, leading to issues like cracks, jammed doors and windows, and other structural problems. To prevent further deterioration, our team installed helical piers, focusing on supporting a specific column. This system offers reinforcement to weakened foundations by anchoring them to stable surrounding soils.
A homeowner in Cleveland, TN approached Master Services for assistance in improving her home value as she intended to sell the house shortly after. Our team conducted a detailed inspection and identified specific areas in the basement that required support. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated with a cheap plastic sheet, which failed to keep water and moisture away from the area.
To effectively resolve the issue, we replaced the plastic sheet with our durable vapor barrier called Clean Space, and then we utilized our trusted Smart Jacks system, designed specifically for tight spaces. These specialized jacks offer strong and lasting support for weakened crawlspace beams, providing a reliable solution for sagging floors.
By combining these two systems, we added value to the home and restored the crawlspace to a healthy and safer environment, preparing it for potential buyers.
A veteran in Elizabethton, TN noticed unsettling dips in his kitchen floor that caused windows to stick and created an uneven surface throughout the space. Having had the crawl space fully encapsulated by our company last year, the homeowner was already familiar with the quality and reliability of our work. When the new issues arose, the homeowner decided to reach out to us again to complete the necessary repairs, confident in our ability to address any concerns effectively.
Our home inspector responded promptly, conducting a thorough assessment of the crawl space to determine the root causes of the floor irregularities. It was clear that additional reinforcements were needed to ensure the long-term stability of the house floor.
Based on our comprehensive evaluation our skilled crew installed two rows of adjustable SmartJacks at key locations beneath the kitchen floor. These robust jacks were meticulously placed to reinforce weakened beams and restore the floor to an even level. By the end of the project, the homeowner was extremely pleased with the results, grateful to have a stable and smooth basement floor once more, and reassured by the lasting protection provided.
