Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Knoxville, TN contacted Master Services regarding concerns about cracks appearing on their support walls. Upon assessing the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.

In Knoxville, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding the appearance of cracks in the walls of their residential building. Following a thorough assessment of the foundation, our team determined that soil erosion, particularly due to the sandy composition of the soil, was the root cause of these cracks. The concrete slab supporting the house was settling as a result of the natural contraction of the sandy soil. Neglecting this issue had the potential to compromise the overall structural integrity of the house.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly effective within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only instilled confidence in the homeowner but also ensured long-term stability and protection for their property.

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.
