Before & After Photos

In this historic log cabin, years of settling had caused significant sagging in the crawl space. The log joists were bowing under the weight, and the original rock and concrete foundation walls were bearing too much pressure. An attempt to stabilize the area with a jack from another company had failed--it wasnt lifting correctly, leaving the floor uneven and the foundation under strain. 

With our SmartJacks system expertly installed, the sagging floor has been lifted and properly stabilized. The new system effectively supports the log joists, taking the pressure off the foundation walls and restoring structural integrity. Now, this cabin stands on a much stronger foundation, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind for the homeowner.

Foundation damage can occur in several different forms around your property. You may see bowed foundation walls in your basement, or even bowing of retaining walls. At times, damage may appear in the form of settling and cracking concrete slabs or cracks throughout brick, walls or concrete floors.

The Master Services installation team effectively addressed a troubling issue with a basement wall in Rocky Top, TN. The team successfully installed Wall Plate Anchors to tackle the problem caused by excessive moisture from the nearby terrain, leading to hydrostatic pressure and movement of the front wall. Recognizing the necessity for a lasting solution, the homeowners sought a method to reinforce the wall.

Deploying Wall Plate Anchors proved to be the ideal solution as they stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, significantly improving the overall structural integrity of the house. The installation process was carried out with efficiency, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.

A homeowner in Rocky Top, TN, contacted Master Services after noticing large cracks forming along the stone-covered wall near the main entrance of their home. Worried about potential structural problems, they scheduled an inspection with one of our experts. During the assessment, we discovered that fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature shifts had caused the soil beneath the foundation to settle, resulting in the cracks along the stone veneer.

To address this, we recommended installing three helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers extend down into stable, load-bearing soil to provide reliable support with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Once the installation was complete, our team backfilled the trenches and restored the site to its original appearance. The homeowner was relieved to see the cracks close up and felt confident knowing their home was now structurally secure for years to come.

A resident of New Farragut, TN began observing indications of sinking on his property, such as fissures, doors and windows that would not open or close properly, gaps between the floor and walls, and more. He contacted Master Services for an assessment and during the inspection, our team discovered severe issues of settling. To resolve this, we employed our dependable helical pier system, a method of stabilization which relies on the solid surrounding soil to secure the piers.
