In Knoxville, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services due to concerns about their foundation wall. After our home inspector investigated the home's foundation, our team concluded that soil erosion was the underlying cause of this issue. Neglecting this issue could potentially jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the residence. To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers, which are specifically designed to offer substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured lasting stability and safeguarded their property.
In Knoxville, Tennessee, a homeowner got in touch with Master Services due to concerns about their house's foundation settling on one side. Our home inspector determined that soil erosion, mainly because of the clay soil, was causing this shift in the concrete base. The concrete slab supporting the house was sinking due to the natural shrinkage of the clay soil.
To prevent further issues, we suggested installing helical piers. These piers are specially designed to reinforce the foundation, especially effective in our local terrain. By using these helical piers, Master Services not only reassured the homeowner but also guaranteed the long-term stability and protection of their property.
Our team was dispatched to evaluate a prominent commercial establishment in Knoxville, TN, seeking assistance in reinforcing its basement structure. After careful analysis, we recommended the implementation of our innovative Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to address the issue of hydrostatic pressure on the walls. These carbon fiber straps possess remarkable strength, rivaling that of steel, and boast the advantage of a non-intrusive installation process, eliminating the need for drilling or heavy machinery. Furthermore, once the repairs are completed, they can be discreetly concealed, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the premises. With the Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system in place, the basement of the business building in Knoxville, TN is now fortified against potential structural challenges.
A homeowner was concerned about a cracked wall in their basement. Our inspectors suggested using a Plate anchor wall system as a cost-effective and non-disruptive alternative to rebuilding or replacing damaged foundation walls. Our wall anchor system relies on the stability of the surrounding soil to prevent further bowing of the inside wall, rather than extending directly from the foundation.

Our team went to a house in Knoxville, Tennessee to check out some sagging beams in the crawlspace. Over time and with neglect, beams can become rotten, move, and settle, especially when they are not the right size for the load they are carrying. To fix the issue, we put in our SmartJacks system, which is a high-capacity adjustable steel pier that stops settling and can even raise the floor of the house back to its original position. This solution provided a quick and long-term solution to a problem that would have gotten worse over time.
