Before & After Photos

In Saint Paul, VA, a homeowner contacted Master Services with concerns about "ladder cracks" in the outer walls of their house. Upon evaluating the foundation, our team identified soil subsidence as the cause of the cracks. The cement slab on which the house was built was sinking due to contracting clay soil, a common issue during the hottest months. Left unaddressed, this problem could jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended installing helical piers, specifically designed to offer 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.

Our team headed up to Pounding Mill, VA to see about bolstering a settling home. Due to shifting soils and moisture issues, many houses eventually settle, which results in cracks, stuck doors and windows, and other problems. To stall further damage, our team installed helical piers. This system provides support to flagging foundations, anchoring them to resilient surrounding soils. 

Master Services visited a home in East Stone Gap, VA that was undergoing settlement. Settlement will only worsen over time and creates problems like cracks, sloping or sunken floors, stuck doors and windows, and more. To fix it, our team installed helical piers, which bolster the foundation and provide long-term support. 

The team visited a residence in Rosedale, VA that had bowing, cracking walls in the basement. In this case, early remediation is important to stave off further damage... as well as costly repairs! The Master Services team installed power braces, which are a relatively inexpensive method to repair the walls. 

In Big Stone Gap, VA, Master Services recently addressed structural concerns in a commercial building. Our team installed several helical piers to counteract soil settling, a common issue in the area. Within the same day, we successfully achieved more than a 2-inch lift and closed the concerning cracks, all while the client continued shopping without disruption. The piers will provide long-term stability to the entire structure with minimal disruption to the property's exterior landscape.
