Before & After Photos

A typical home in Kodak, TN suffered from visible exterior wall and window frame cracking, a telltale sign of foundation settling. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause: soil erosion from heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity. To remedy this, our team strategically installed three helical piers to anchor the home securely to stable ground. To dig through the hardened, clay-rich soil, our crew had to use water to soften the terrain before starting the excavation. Installed with precision, these piers ensure the long-term stabilization of the house, providing stability for years to come!

A homeowner in Kodak, TN, contacted Master Services after spotting stair-step cracks forming at the corner near the main entrance of his red brick house. Concerned about potential structural issues, he scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors. During the inspection, it was determined that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature changes, was the main culprit.

We recommended installing two helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers reach stable soil deep underground to provide solid support, while minimizing disruption to the soil around the home. Once the installation was complete, the trenches were backfilled and leveled, restoring the area to its original state. The homeowner felt relieved to see the cracks close and had peace of mind knowing his home was now safe and secure for the years ahead.

A homeowner in Tazewell, TN was worried about a section of their foundation settling and observed damage on the main floor as well as other anomalies in the area. Our inspection by Master Services concluded that the foundation required extra support. To resolve the problem, we suggested the use of our "Push Pier" system, which aims to permanently stabilize and even out the foundation.

Our team was sent to evaluate a residential basement in Rutledge, TN, which exhibited clear indications of structural instability caused by soil settling, necessitating additional support. To resolve this issue, our experts utilized our advanced foundation support system, known as EverBrace. This system combines steel corrugated panels and beams to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls. Moreover, rigid foam is injected to fill any gaps behind the steel panels, effectively transferring the load from the compromised structure to the new support panels. This solution offers a less disruptive alternative to complete foundation replacement.
