SmartJacks support installed in Ooltewah, TN

Our team conducted an inspection of a residence in Ooltewah, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners had recently purchased the house, knowing they would soon need to address this issue to prevent further damage to the integrity of the house floors. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load, as was the case here. To address this issue, our home inspector recommended our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier designed to be installed in tight spaces. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly addressed the issue and provided a long-term remedy for a problem that could have worsened over time.

Wall Plate Anchors reinforced a foundation wall in Collegedale, TN

Nestled in the scenic beauty of Collegedale, TN, John cherished his expansive cottage cabin, surrounded by lush woodlands. However, relentless rainfall began straining the property’s retaining wall, triggering soil erosion down the hillside. Alarmed by the growing crack in the stone retainer and the destabilized grounds, John contacted Master Services for help. Our team swiftly arrived to evaluate the situation, diagnosing the need for urgent structural reinforcement. Confident in our solution, John approved the repairs without delay.

 

On the day of the project, our crew expertly carved an access point into the cabin’s concrete driveway, strategically installing a durable Geo-Lock Wall anchoring system to fortify the wall. After securing three anchors on both sides of the wall, we meticulously backfilled the area with soil and restored the terrain to its natural grade. The entire process was completed in a single day, preserving the rustic charm of John’s property with minimal disturbance.

 

Thrilled with the seamless restoration, John now enjoys peace of mind, knowing his cottage cabin’s foundation is secure against future storms. 

SmartJacks support installed in Rocky Face, GA

This crawlspace located in Rocky Face, GA, displayed indications of settlement, leading to issues in the upper floors such as sagging beams, jammed doors and windows, and cracks. To address these issues, we proposed the installation of our SmartJacks, designed to reinforce and stabilize sagging beams. Furthermore, we encapsulated the crawlspace using our Clean Space vapor barrier and complemented it with our Sedona Dehumidifier. With these measures implemented, the crawlspace is now dry and shielded from further deterioration.

Raising a Backyard Patio in Birchwood, TN

Master Services visited a home with a sinking patio in Birchwood, TN. An outside AC unit was sitting on the slab, which sunk probably due to soil erosion caused by rain. To fix it, we injected the slab with PolyLyft, which raises cement slabs as it expands. 

Wall Plate Anchors reinforced a foundation wall in McDonald, TN

Plate anchor wall systems offer a cost-effective solution to the labor-intensive and costly process of rebuilding or replacing compromised foundation walls. Our wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, leveraging the soil's stability to anchor the wall and halt inward bowing. Take this basement in McDonald, TN, for example, where numerous stair-step cracks jeopardized the wall's structural integrity.
