Before & After Photos

A log cabin in Kodak, TN, encountered stability issues with its wooden crawlspace. The wood posts and concrete columns were no longer effectively supporting the sagging living room and kitchen floors of the cabin. High moisture levels in the crawlspace were dampening the wood beams, worsening the problem of sinking floors. Master Services intervened to address the issue by introducing our trusted SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home even within the constraints of a tight space.

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.

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.
