Before & After Photos

In Soddy-Daisy, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks discovered in the walls of their crawlspace. After a thorough foundation assessment, our Home inspector attributed these cracks to soil erosion, specifically due to the sandy soil composition. The settling of the concrete slab supporting the house was a result of natural contraction in the sandy soil. This settling issue posed a potential risk to the overall structural integrity of the house.

To prevent further damage, we proposed the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide robust foundation reinforcement, especially effective within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and protection for their property.

The Master Services installation team effectively addressed an emergency with a basement wall in Soddy-Daisy, TN. The homeowner, who had been using the basement as additional living space, noticed a concerning crack on the wall. Recognizing the need for a lasting solution, he sought a method to reinforce the wall. 

Our crew successfully installed Wall Plate Anchors to tackle the problem caused by excessive moisture from the nearby terrain, which had led to hydrostatic pressure. Deploying Wall Plate Anchors proved to be the ideal solution. The anchors 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 efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.

A homeowner in Soddy-Daisy, TN, needed a solution for their sinking living room floor and reached out to Master Services for assistance. After a thorough evaluation, our home inspector identified the precise areas in the crawlspace that required reinforcement. To effectively address the issue, our crew installed a SmartJack system, which is specially designed for tight spaces like crawlspaces. These adjustable jacks provide solid, long-term support to compromised beams, offering a reliable fix for sagging floors that can be easily adjusted if needed in the future.

In LaFayette, GA, a home experienced foundation sinking on its front porch, with cracks appearing on the left column. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed three helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. By strategically drilling holes and installing helical piers at key points, they achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure the house remains secure for years to come.

A homeowner in LaFayette, GA, contacted Master Services after discovering a long horizontal crack in their basement wall. Used for additional storage, the basement was under constant hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil, which had caused part of the wall to bow inward. Concerned about their home's structural stability and planning to eventually convert the basement into a garage, they needed a dependable solution.  

Before beginning work, we asked the homeowner to remove all belongings to create a safe and efficient workspace. During our inspection, we confirmed early signs of wall failure and recommended the PowerBrace™ system. This solution uses durable steel I-beams securely fastened to Geo-Lock anchors outside the basement via a long rod that leverages stable soil to provide immediate stabilization and allows gradual adjustments to restore the wall to its original position.  

Our team completed the project quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption to the property. Now, the homeowner has peace of mind, knowing their basement is stable, secure, and ready for future renovations.
