Before & After Photos

In Sevierville, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks that had appeared on the exterior walls of their residence. After a thorough evaluation of the foundation, our team identified soil erosion as the cause of these cracks. The cement slab supporting the house was settling due to either clay soil contraction.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to offer significant foundation reinforcement, especially effective in the local clay terrain. By utilizing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and protection for their property.

The home in Sevierville, TN, faced stability issues with its crawlspace. The wood posts and concrete columns were no longer effectively supporting the sagging floors of the home. The high moisture levels in the crawlspace were dampening the wood beams, exacerbating the sinking floors. Master Services stepped in to provide a solution by implementing our trusted SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home.

One of our customers was having basement waterproofing done, but she also had some settlement issues around a foundation wall. It was beginning to crack, so we took a look and recommended our carbon fiber reinforcement system. This system involves soaking carbon fiber straps in epoxy, pressing them to the damaged wall, and waiting for the epoxy to cure. Once it does, the wall is provided dependable support for years to come. 

In Seymour, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services with concerns about some cracks on her garage floor. After our home inspector investigated the house, we determined that the foundation was experiencing settlement, a common issue when soils and the ground beneath a structure shift or erode. To resolve this problem, our team installed helical piers, which resemble large screws and anchor the home securely to the stable surrounding ground. Carefully installed to the required capacities and depth, these piers, connected to the footing with a steel foundation bracket, provide stability and should ensure the house remains stabilized for years to come.

Our team inspected a residence in Seymour, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners, having learned about Master Services from their neighbor who had fully encapsulated his crawlspace a few years ago, were keen to address potential issues. Over time, wooden beams can deteriorate and bend, especially when they are not adequately sized to handle the structural load, as was the case here. To tackle this, we implemented our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly tackled the issue and offered a long-term remedy for a problem that could have exacerbated over time.
