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.
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.
A property in Loudon, TN showed signs of a seriously bowed retaining wall, raising concerns about the safety of those living in the home. The large horizontal crack across the exterior was caused by ongoing hydrostatic pressure and excessive moisture in the surrounding soil.
To resolve the issue, the Master Services installation team secured the wall with multiple Wall Plate Anchors, effectively transferring the wall’s load to more stable ground. This crucial reinforcement restored stability to the structure and provided peace of mind for the residents. The procedure was carried out efficiently, causing minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
Our team recently addressed a settlement issue at a crawlspace in Oak Ridge, TN. Settlement can cause a variety of problems on upper levels, such as sagging floors, difficult-to-open doors and windows, and cracks. To correct the issue, we installed SmartJacks, a system that supports and strengthens sagging beams. With these in place, the crawlspace is now properly supported.
Our crew at Master Services visited a home in Oak Ridge, TN to assess a basement wall that required additional reinforcement. To rectify the issue, we installed our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system. The carbon fiber straps are as strong as steel, but without the need for drilling or heavy equipment during installation. Moreover, once the repair is completed, it can be easily concealed.
