Before & After Photos

Our team visited a residence near Abingdon, VA to assess some sagging beams in the basement. Unfortunately, some contractors use beams that are not of the proper size during the building process. Over time, the beams can also rot, move, and settle. To address the issue, we implemented our SmartJacks system, which provides a permanent solution by reinforcing the weakened beams.

Master Services recently responded promptly to address concerns with a front porch in Abingdon, VA. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the front porch, a common issue due to soil settling. Fortunately, we efficiently resolved the problem using two helical piers. These devices connect the cement footing to the solid ground under the house via steel brackets. Their unique shape is designed to grip the clay-rich soil effectively.

The Master Services team installed Wall Plate Anchors in Marion, VA to repair a wall that was displaying clear signs of water infiltration. The anchors secure the wall to the surrounding stable soil, providing additional structural support to the house.

A resident in Glade Spring, Virginia, contacted Master Services to address floor stabilization concerns. Our experienced team conducted a comprehensive assessment, pinpointing specific areas requiring reinforcement. To effectively tackle this issue, we installed eight Smart Jacks, designed for compact spaces like this one. These specialized jacks offer strong support for weakened crawlspace beams, providing a long-lasting solution for sagging floors. Importantly, Smart Jacks are highly adjustable and adaptable to meet various crawlspace requirements.

In Bristol, VA, a concerned homeowner named Sarah reached out to Master Services after noticing large cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement. Worried about the structural integrity of her home, she wanted answers. Our home inspector arrived promptly and discovered that the foundation had been compromised due to soil settling, which was caused by fluctuating moisture levels. The intense summer heat had caused the clay beneath the concrete slab to contract, resulting in one side of the house sinking—a common issue in the region.

Understanding Sarah’s concerns, we explained that if left unchecked, the settling could lead to more severe damage. To address the issue, we recommended installing two Helical piers under a corner of the structure to provide additional support and prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the quick response and clear explanation of the solution.

Once the job was completed, Sarah was relieved to see the cracks close up, a visible sign that her home was now secure. With the foundation stabilized, she felt reassured, knowing her home was safe and future problems had been prevented.
