Installing Wall Plate Anchors in Crossville, TN

The installation team from Master Services effectively resolved a problem with a bowing foundation wall in Crossville, TN using Wall Plate Anchors. Over time, this wall had developed cracks due to excess moisture from the nearby terrain, and in some places, the plaster had eroded, revealing the bricks beneath. The homeowner, who had recently bought the property, was looking for a lasting solution to this large area and had plans to convert it into additional living space.

With the installation of Wall Plate Anchors, the wall was stabilized by connecting it to the stable soil in the surrounding area, providing extra support to the house's overall structure. The process was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.

Helical Pier Installation in Loudon, TN

A homeowner in Loudon, TN contacted Master Services due to concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior basement wall. After assessing the foundation's condition, our team identified 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, which are well-suited for the local clay terrain. These piers are specifically designed to reinforce the foundation significantly, ensuring long-term stability.

 

By implementing the helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also provided them with peace of mind, knowing that their property is now secure and stable for years to come.

Repairing a Wall in Loudon, TN

Master Services was contacted regarding a compromised foundation wall in Loudon, TN. During our inspection, we observed evident indications of hydrostatic pressure within the garage. After careful consideration, our team decided to employ the Plate anchor wall system as a solution. This system provides a cost-effective and non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged garage walls. By extending beyond the foundation, the wall anchors utilize the stability of the soil to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, especially noting the minimal disruption to their yard throughout the process.

Helical Piers stabilized a house in Loudon, TN

Master Services recently responded to concerns about horizontal cracks in a house in Loudon, TN. Our skilled team quickly identified soil settling as the root cause, a common issue in the area. To resolve the problem, we installed four helical piers, which connect the cement footing to stable ground using steel brackets. The piers' unique design effectively grips the clay-rich soil, allowing us to close the cracks and restore stability to the home.

SmartJacks support installed in Tallassee, TN

A previous client of Master Services, residing in Tallassee, TN, reached out to us for assistance with sagging floors. After having their crawlspace completely encapsulated by us the previous year, they now needed help in restoring the height of their kitchen floor. Our team conducted a thorough inspection, identifying the areas in the crawlspace requiring support. The challenge here was the limited height in these spots.

To address this challenge, we employed our Smart Jacks system, specifically designed for tight and compact spaces. These jacks offer robust support for weakened crawlspace beams, even in challenging conditions with only 25 inches of clearance. This solution was ideal because it not only provided immediate support but could also be adjusted over time if needed.
