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!
The Master Services team visited a home in Hixson, TN that was having some concrete settlement issues. Over time, rain and extremes in temperature will cause the soil beneath concrete to shrink, swell, or wash away completely. The team injected this sidewalk with our amazing PolyLyft, which raises slabs to an even position.
