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!

We were contacted by a homeowner in Petros, TN who needed help with an unstable bedroom floor. Upon inspection, we determined that the priority was to stabilize the floor rather than lift it. To address this issue, we utilized our dependable SmartJacks system. This system reinforces weakened areas and can be adjusted for additional support if needed. Moreover, it can be installed within a very confined space, which is typical of most crawlspaces.

The team visited a home near Hilham, TN that had a sinking driveway pad. Often, water from rain works its way underneath concrete and washes away soil. The weight of the concrete also will cause settlement. To fix this slab, our team injected it with PolyLyft. The team drills holes at strategic intervals along the slab, then injects them with the high-density polyurethane. As the substance fills the voids beneath the slab, it raises it to an even position. 

After receiving a request for assistance from a homeowner in Wartburg, TN ,who had a noticeable "ladder crack" on their home's wall, Master Services promptly conducted a comprehensive inspection. These types of cracks can indicate underlying foundation issues that, if ignored, may compromise the stability of the entire house. To prevent further damage, especially on the East side of the building, we determined that the most effective solution would be to install helical piers, which are designed to provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation and ensure long-term stability, considering the local clay terrain.

The installation of these helical piers not only provided the homeowner with a renewed sense of confidence but also ensured their property's safety and stability for many years to come.

These front steps were sinking at a home in Knoxville, TN. Often, when concrete sinks, it's due to soil erosion caused by drought, flooding, or seismic activity. To fix this issue, Master Services injects the concrete with PolyLyft, which expands and raises the concrete as it does so.
