After receiving a request for assistance from a homeowner in Wartburg, TN ,who had a noticeable "ladder crack" on their home's wall, Master Services promptly conducted a comprehensive inspection. These types of cracks can indicate underlying foundation issues that, if ignored, may compromise the stability of the entire house. To prevent further damage, especially on the East side of the building, we determined that the most effective solution would be to install helical piers, which are designed to provide exceptional reinforcement to the foundation and ensure long-term stability, considering the local clay terrain.
The installation of these helical piers not only provided the homeowner with a renewed sense of confidence but also ensured their property's safety and stability for many years to come.
The home foundation near Athens, TN was experiencing settlement issues. Soil shifts or erosion can cause this, often resulting in compromised structural integrity. Our home inspector pinpointed a corner in need of extra support due to a significant stair-step crack. To resolve this issue, our team installed helical piers, which resemble large screws and securely anchor the home to stable surrounding ground. This implementation ensures the house is stabilized for the foreseeable future.
In a newly built home near Athens, TN, a homeowner named John noticed unsettling cracks forming at the corner of his garage. Concerned about the potential for structural damage, he contacted Master Services for an inspection. Our team quickly identified that soil erosion had caused the foundation to settle, leading to a noticeable stair-step crack in the garage corner.
To address the issue, we installed two helical piers—large screw-like supports designed to anchor the home into stable ground, preventing further settling. With the piers in place, the foundation is now secure, giving John peace of mind that his home will remain stable for years to come.
In a newly built home near Athens, TN, positioned on the side of a small hill with red clay soil, a homeowner noticed a troubling crack forming on the first floor. Concerned about the possibility of foundation damage, they reached out to Master Services for an expert assessment. Our inspection revealed that the combination of hillside construction and the clay-rich soil led to foundation settling, which caused the noticeable crack.
To resolve the issue, we installed four helical piers, screw-like supports that stabilize the home by anchoring it to solid ground. This solution prevents further settling, and with the piers in place, the foundation is now secure. The homeowner can rest easy knowing their property is protected against future shifts and will remain stable for years to come.
Master Services was summoned to assess the foundation of a commercial building in Harriman, TN due to noticeable cracks on the exterior walls. Our inspection revealed that the foundation was settling under the weight of the glass wall.
To remedy the situation, we proposed our "Push Pier" system, a solution designed to securely stabilize and level the foundation without the need for intrusive and costly structural renovation.
