Before & After Photos

In Marion, VA, a dedicated homeowner, known for their meticulous care and attention to detail, grew concerned after noticing signs of potential water infiltration in their basement. Hoping to address the issue before it worsened, they reached out to Master Services for a professional evaluation. Upon inspection, our home inspector identified a long horizontal crack along the basement wall, a clear indication of hydrostatic pressure caused by the surrounding soil pressing against the structure. This type of issue, if left unaddressed, can compromise the stability of the home over time.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner promptly scheduled the necessary repairs. The Master Services team installed Wall Plate Anchors, a highly effective solution for stabilizing compromised walls. These anchors work by securing the wall to the stable soil outside, counteracting the inward pressure and reinforcing the home’s structural integrity. With this installation complete, the homeowner can rest assured that their basement is protected against further damage, and their cherished home is safe for years to come.

We were dispatched to inspect a house in Tazewell, VA, in need of additional structural support. After evaluating the situation, our team suggested the installation of our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to relieve hydrostatic pressure on the wall. These carbon fiber straps, providing strength comparable to steel, eliminate the need for drilling or heavy machinery during installation. Furthermore, once the repair work is finished, it can be discreetly concealed.

Master Services was contacted by a property owner not far from Troutdale, VA about some foundation settlement. We took a look and recommended our helical pier system, which stabilizes and realigns homes that are undergoing settlement. With our helical piers in place, this home will be preserved for years to come. 

Settlement is a big worry for homeowners. Luckily, there are telltale signs that warn of issues with a home's foundation. This home near Bluefield, VA was exhibiting signs of settlement, including stair-step cracks along the brick exterior. Our team corrected the problem by installing helical piers, which are installed along the foundation to provide stabilization. 

A homeowner in Bluefield, VA, contacted Master Services regarding a sagging floor in his basement. Upon inspection, our team identified that the primary issue was the poor quality of the supporting wood beams. Over time, mold growth and uneven pressure tend to bow and alter the morphology of the wooden beams. To effectively address this problem, Master Services installed our reliable Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are designed to provide robust support for sagging floors, offering a long-term solution, especially when located within a basement. Our crew worked efficiently to minimize disruption to the cement floor.
