Before & After Photos

In Castlewood, VA, a home experienced foundation sinking, prominently evidenced by one of its window frames. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. Strategically drilling holes and installing three helical piers at key points achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, guaranteeing the house remains secure for years to come.

The Master Services team recently tackled a serious bowed foundation wall issue in Castlewood, VA. The basement, which doubled as a parking area, showed a large horizontal crack and significant efflorescence. Over time, the wall had cracked due to excessive moisture in the surrounding soil, prompting the homeowner to seek a reliable solution for reinforcing their garage walls.

Our approach involved installing I-Beam Wall Braces, which stabilize the wall by anchoring into the sturdier soil outside. By reinforcing the overall structure, this method ensures that the newly secured basement-garage area remains safe and reliable for years to come.

In Bristol, VA, a concerned homeowner named Sarah reached out to Master Services after noticing large cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement. Worried about the structural integrity of her home, she wanted answers. Our home inspector arrived promptly and discovered that the foundation had been compromised due to soil settling, which was caused by fluctuating moisture levels. The intense summer heat had caused the clay beneath the concrete slab to contract, resulting in one side of the house sinking—a common issue in the region.

Understanding Sarah’s concerns, we explained that if left unchecked, the settling could lead to more severe damage. To address the issue, we recommended installing two Helical piers under a corner of the structure to provide additional support and prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the quick response and clear explanation of the solution.

Once the job was completed, Sarah was relieved to see the cracks close up, a visible sign that her home was now secure. With the foundation stabilized, she felt reassured, knowing her home was safe and future problems had been prevented.

This crawlspace in Bristol, TN had an issue with its beams and floor joists sagging. If left untreated, the damage would only get worse.

Master Services was contacted by a homeowner in Bristol, TN who had noticed "ladder" cracks along the walls. Our team conducted a thorough inspection and determined that the foundation required immediate attention to prevent further damage and instability. After careful consideration, we decided that the best solution would be to install helical piers, which are well-suited for the local terrain. These piers provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation and offer long-lasting stability.

Through the installation of these helical piers, we were able to restore the homeowner's peace of mind by ensuring that their property was safe and stable for years to come.
