Before & After Photos

Our team was dispatched to evaluate a prominent commercial establishment in Knoxville, TN, seeking assistance in reinforcing its basement structure. After careful analysis, we recommended the implementation of our innovative Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps possess remarkable strength, rivaling that of steel, and boast the advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. Furthermore, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the premises. With the Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system in place, the basement of the business building in Knoxville, TN is now fortified against potential structural challenges.

A homeowner was concerned about a cracked wall in their basement. Our inspectors suggested using a Plate anchor wall system as a cost-effective and non-disruptive alternative to rebuilding or replacing damaged foundation walls. Our wall anchor system relies on the stability of the surrounding soil to prevent further bowing of the inside wall, rather than extending directly from the foundation.

Our team went to a house in Knoxville, Tennessee to check out some sagging beams in the crawlspace. Over time and with neglect, beams can become rotten, move, and settle, especially when they are not the right size for the load they are carrying. To fix the issue, we put in our SmartJacks system, which is a high-capacity adjustable steel pier that stops settling and can even raise the floor of the house back to its original position. This solution provided a quick and long-term solution to a problem that would have gotten worse over time.

In Knoxville, TN, the Knoxville Center for the Deaf reached out to Master Services concerning noticeable sinking in their foundation wall, which was so severe that it was affecting the interior floors. After conducting a thorough assessment of the foundation, our team identified soil erosion as the root cause of this issue, which was notably evidenced by the cracking around the window frames.

To prevent further deterioration and structural damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to provide substantial reinforcement to foundations, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured long-term stability and protected the building against further sinking and damage.

Upon completion of our work, we left the site after filling and cleaning the excavation area. Throughout the operation, the structure was able to continue serving the community effectively.

Through the process of "slab jacking" Master Services can actually raise your concrete driveway or basement floor back to its original position. This process is usually a fraction of the cost of pouring a new slab or driveway!
