Before & After Photos

This retaining wall in Chattanooga, Tennessee had begun to show major signs of structural stress, with large horizontal and stair step cracks forming along the brickwork. These types of cracks are often a result of soil pressure or shifting behind the wall. Our team installed a series of wall anchors, which are designed to permanently stabilize failing walls by anchoring them into stable soil beyond the wall. These galvanized steel anchors help halt further movement and can straighten the wall over time.

The Master Services team headed to a home near Lupton City, TN to fix serious problems with the foundation. Settlement often occurs when soils shift or erode, causing cracks and other problems. To fix this home, we installed both helical and push piers, which will stabilize and secure the foundation to prevent further damage. 

In Rossville, GA, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks in their crawlspace walls. Upon a thorough inspection, our home inspector determined that soil erosion, likely caused by changes in water concentration around the house, was the primary reason behind these cracks. This issue is common, particularly during abrupt temperature changes. Overlooking this problem could potentially jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the house.

To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial reinforcement to the foundation, especially within the local terrain. By incorporating these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and safeguarded their property.

Crawlspaces are typically cramped and unappealing, making it difficult for homeowners to identify issues like sagging or sinking floors. However, in a crawl space in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, Master Services quickly identified the problem: the installation of SmartJacks.

The SmartJacks were used to raise the wooden beams in the crawlspace, resolving the issue of sagging floors caused by settling.

A homeowner in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, a busy couple with young children, contacted Master Services after noticing a serious settlement issue in a smaller section of their home. The corner of this area developed a stair step crack measuring over 2 inches wide, causing major concerns about the home's stability.

Our Master Services home inspector quickly recommended immediate action, fearing the structure could collapse without prompt intervention. To address the problem, our team installed six Helical Piers, transferring the weight of the home to more stable soil. Through careful and precise work, we were able to almost completely close the gap, restoring both stability and peace of mind for the homeowners.

Thanks to Master Services, this family can now rest easy, knowing their home is secure for the long term!
