SmartJacks support installed in Bristol, TN

A homeowner in Cleveland, TN approached Master Services for assistance in improving her home value as she intended to sell the house shortly after. Our team conducted a detailed inspection and identified specific areas in the basement that required support. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated with a cheap plastic sheet, which failed to keep water and moisture away from the area.

To effectively resolve the issue, we replaced the plastic sheet with our durable vapor barrier called Clean Space, and then we utilized our trusted Smart Jacks system, designed specifically for tight spaces. These specialized jacks offer strong and lasting support for weakened crawlspace beams, providing a reliable solution for sagging floors.

By combining these two systems, we added value to the home and restored the crawlspace to a healthy and safer environment, preparing it for potential buyers.

SmartJacks supported a wall in Elizabethton, TN

A veteran in Elizabethton, TN noticed unsettling dips in his kitchen floor that caused windows to stick and created an uneven surface throughout the space. Having had the crawl space fully encapsulated by our company last year, the homeowner was already familiar with the quality and reliability of our work. When the new issues arose, the homeowner decided to reach out to us again to complete the necessary repairs, confident in our ability to address any concerns effectively. 

 

Our home inspector responded promptly, conducting a thorough assessment of the crawl space to determine the root causes of the floor irregularities. It was clear that additional reinforcements were needed to ensure the long-term stability of the house floor. 

 

Based on our comprehensive evaluation our skilled crew installed two rows of adjustable SmartJacks at key locations beneath the kitchen floor. These robust jacks were meticulously placed to reinforce weakened beams and restore the floor to an even level. By the end of the project, the homeowner was extremely pleased with the results, grateful to have a stable and smooth basement floor once more, and reassured by the lasting protection provided.

Repairing a Wall in Abingdon, VA

Master Service received a call regarding an issue with a compromised foundation wall in Abingdon, VA. Upon conducting our inspection, we noticed clear signs of hydrostatic pressure and understood the urgent requirement for intervention. After thoughtful deliberation, our team opted to implement the Plate anchor wall system, which offers a cost-effective and non-intrusive alternative to rebuilding or replacing the damaged foundation walls. This wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, utilizing the soil's stability as a support to prevent any further inward bending of the wall. The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the outcome, particularly appreciating the minimal disruption to their yard during the process.

 

 

 

 

Installing Wall Plate Anchors in Abingdon, VA

Our company responded to a request from Abingdon, VA, to stabilize a home's foundation. Upon inspection, our team identified the root cause: the foundation wall was cracking due to excessive moisture caused by hydrostatic pressure from the nearby terrain. Inside the house crawlspace, there were significant horizontal and stair-step cracks. To prevent further damage, our team installed four Wall Plate Anchors. These anchors stabilized the wall by connecting it to the stable soil nearby, providing additional support to the house's overall structure.
