Before & After Photos

Crawlspaces are often seen as dirty and unappealing, making it difficult for homeowners to identify the cause of sagging or sinking floors. However, Master Services was able to determine that the solution was to install SmartJacks, which helped lift the wooden beams in the crawlspace and address the issue of settling floors.

In Jacksboro, TN, a business owner reached out to us concerning a significant issue with one of their properties, a large retail store. The building exhibited multiple cracks, known as "ladder cracks," along with some wall bowing. Upon thorough inspection, our team determined that the entire structure had sunk over two inches, posing a potential threat to its structural integrity. This not only risked economic losses but also posed a safety hazard for customers and employees.

After careful assessment, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to address the local clay terrain. These piers provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, ensuring long-term stability. Our skilled crew successfully installed 22 piers, immediately stabilizing the entire building. We have also marked the outer walls for regular monitoring to prevent any further settling.

Within three days, we secured the entire building, ensuring uninterrupted economic activity for the entire area.

In Jacksboro, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services due to concerns about a large stair-step crack on one of their foundation walls that kept widening over time. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, primarily due to the clay soil, was causing this shift in the concrete base. The concrete slab supporting the house was sinking due to the natural shrinkage of the clay soil.

To prevent further issues, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specially designed to reinforce the foundation, especially effective in our local terrain. By using these helical piers, Master Services not only reassured the homeowner but also guaranteed the long-term stability and protection of their property.

A request was made by homeowners in Greeneville, TN to Master Services to examine their kitchen and living room's unsteady floors. After inspection, we concluded that the root of the issue had to be addressed from the crawlspace. Wooden beams usually found inside any crawlspace can deteriorate, shift, and settle over time due to poor sizing and maintenance, leading to structural complexities. To resolve the problem, we employed our efficient Smart Jacks system, which effectively averts any future long-term issues that may arise from neglected beams.

A homeowner in Greeneville, TN, reached out to Master Services due to a bowing foundation wall issue that had previously been addressed using wooden beams. Unfortunately, moisture and mold had compromised the beams over a short period, leading to the appearance of the characteristic "stair step" cracks on the wall. Our inspection revealed clear signs of hydrostatic pressure. After careful assessment, our team chose to implement the Plate Anchor wall system as a solution.

This system offers a cost-effective and non-intrusive approach, avoiding the need for extensive rebuilding or replacement of the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors harness the soil's stability to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, particularly appreciating the limited disruption to their yard throughout the process.
