Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Collegedale, TN, reached out to Master Services regarding visible cracks underneath the front porch. After a thorough inspection, our home inspector determined that soil shifting, exacerbated by the house being built on a steep hill, was the cause of the cracks. To prevent additional damage and halt further shifting, we recommended the installation of helical piers.

These piers provide robust foundation support, particularly effective in the local clay soil. By opting for helical piers, the homeowner not only gained confidence but also ensured long-term stability and security for their property.

Our team conducted an inspection of a residence in Ooltewah, TN, prompted by concerns about deteriorating beams in the crawlspace. The homeowners had recently purchased the house, knowing they would soon need to address this issue to prevent further damage to the integrity of the house floors. 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 address this issue, our home inspector recommended our SmartJacks system, a robust and adjustable steel pier designed to be installed in tight spaces. These supports aim to prevent further settling and, in some cases, even restore the house floor to its original position. This solution promptly addressed the issue and provided a long-term remedy for a problem that could have worsened over time.

Nestled in the scenic beauty of Collegedale, TN, John cherished his expansive cottage cabin, surrounded by lush woodlands. However, relentless rainfall began straining the property’s retaining wall, triggering soil erosion down the hillside. Alarmed by the growing crack in the stone retainer and the destabilized grounds, John contacted Master Services for help. Our team swiftly arrived to evaluate the situation, diagnosing the need for urgent structural reinforcement. Confident in our solution, John approved the repairs without delay.

On the day of the project, our crew expertly carved an access point into the cabin’s concrete driveway, strategically installing a durable Geo-Lock Wall anchoring system to fortify the wall. After securing three anchors on both sides of the wall, we meticulously backfilled the area with soil and restored the terrain to its natural grade. The entire process was completed in a single day, preserving the rustic charm of John’s property with minimal disturbance.

Thrilled with the seamless restoration, John now enjoys peace of mind, knowing his cottage cabin’s foundation is secure against future storms. 

This Signal Mountain, TN homeowner was dismayed to see cracks forming along his concrete pool slab. He called Master Services to raise the slab using PolyLyft. 

This basement wall in a home near Signal Mountain, TN, exhibited signs of bowing, typically indicating that the pressure from water trapped in the surrounding soil was pushing the wall inside the basement. This phenomenon is known as hydrostatic pressure. Concerned about this issue, the homeowner contacted our team for an inspection. Upon examining the bowing wall, we recommended our Power Brace system, which applies pressure to walls to gradually return them to their original position. Our team efficiently halted any further bowing by anchoring the beams to the wooden beams and the concrete footing.
