Before & After Photos

In Harriman, TN, the owner of a charming red-brick home perched on a scenic hillside grew concerned upon noticing a pronounced stair-step crack in the walls. After he reached out to Master Services, our home inspector confirmed that the stair-step cracks, especially visible on one side of the house, were the result of shifting soils in the red clay typical of East Tennessee. Recognizing the need for a permanent fix, the homeowner agreed to the solution we proposed, reinforcing the house foundation.

Our team recommended and installed five Helical Piers to stabilize the settling foundation. These piers function like large screws, drilling through the clay-rich soil until they reach a firm, load-bearing layer underground. Once in place, we carefully raised the foundation to the desired level, restoring the home’s structural integrity. Thanks to this proven system, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing the red-brick house is secure, level, and ready to stand the test of time.

The Master Services installation team successfully addressed a bowed foundation wall problem in Monterey, TN, utilizing Wall Plate Anchors. Cracks had emerged on the wall due to prolonged exposure to excessive moisture from hydrostatic pressure caused by the nearby terrain. The application of Wall Plate Anchors effectively stabilized the wall by securely connecting it to the stable soil in its vicinity, offering essential reinforcement to the entire structure of the house. This procedure was executed with efficiency, resulting in minimal disturbance to both the interior and exterior of the property.

The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a significant bowed foundation wall problem in Pigeon Forge, TN. This issue was mitigated using our I-Beam Wall Braces. The homeowner was in search of a lasting solution for this spacious area and was particularly interested in reinforcing the garage walls.

Our installation of I-Beam Wall Braces stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil in its surroundings, thereby adding substantial support to the overall structural integrity of the house. The entire procedure was executed efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.

The foundation of a lovely house in Pigeon Forge, TN, was facing serious settlement issues due to shifting or eroding soils beneath it. The homeowner, noticing cracks beginning to form in the window frames, sought assistance. Our team assessed the situation and determined that the home, located near commercial property, was almost two inches away from foundation collapse. To address this, we installed four helical piers at two different locations, anchoring the house securely to the stable ground below. We used steel brackets to connect the piers to the cement footing of the house. This effective solution ensured that the home remained level and secure, providing peace of mind for the homeowner.

Emma, a local business owner in Pigeon Forge, TN, began noticing unsettling dips in her living room floor that caused doors to jam and the surface to feel uneven. Concerned about the structural integrity of her home, she decided to reach out to Master Services. Our home inspector arrived promptly, performed a detailed evaluation of the crawl space, and identified where reinforcements were most urgently needed.

Based on our findings, we recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space to control moisture and prevent future issues. With that complete, our crew installed three SmartJacks at strategic points beneath the newly encapsulated crawl space. These durable, adjustable jacks were carefully positioned to stabilize weak beams and level the floor. By the end of the project, Emma was delighted with the outcome, relieved to have a solid, even floor once again—and the peace of mind that it will stay that way for years to come.
