Before & After Photos

Our company received a call from a former customers residing in Richlands, VA, who had previously had their crawlspace encapsulated. They requested additional support for the wooden beams due to neglect by the previous homeowner, resulting in natural wear and tear. Beams can deteriorate, shift, and settle over time. To remedy this, we implemented our SmartJacks system, which effectively reinforces weakened beams, even in tight spaces like this particular crawlspace, offering a long-lasting solution to the issue.

Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Richlands, VA. Our home inspector quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, after an appointment was scheduled, our production crew dug a small trench around the building and then installed several 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.

Our team headed up to Pounding Mill, VA to see about bolstering a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture issues, many houses eventually settle, which results in cracks, stuck doors and windows, and other problems. To stall further damage, our team installed helical piers. This system provides support to flagging foundations, anchoring them to resilient surrounding soils. 

A homeowner near Whitetop, VA was worried about some damage she noticed around an exterior wall. Cracks were forming along the brick and she could see some irregularity around the area. Master Services inspected the home and confirmed that the foundation was undergoing settlement. We recommended our push pier system to realign and stabilize the home. 

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.
