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.
Recently, our crew inspected a home near Oak Ridge, TN to evaluate sagging floors in the bathroom. This issue is widespread in many homes as the wood weakens due to mold overgrowth. To tackle this problem, we utilized our SmartJacks system, which reinforces weakened beams and provides a permanent solution. In this case, we were not only able to stabilize but even raise the first floor to its original height.
In Oak Ridge, TN, the owner of a large building reached out to Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking in their foundation wall. After conducting a thorough foundation assessment, our team determined that soil erosion was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of clay soil, which is a common problem in this specific area of Tennessee. Failing to address this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the building.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured lasting stability and safeguarded the building against further sinking and damage.
Master Services used PolyLyft to raise these concrete steps at a home in Lenoir City, TN. This miraculous polyurethane product cures in mere minutes and is simple to install, causing little disruption to homeowners.
Homeowners in Lenoir City, TN are planning to sell their house and want it to look as attractive as possible, particularly in the living space where the floor was visibly sagging. Our team was able to use the appropriate number of Smart Jacks to fix the gaps in the trim on the first floor and fix a door that was sticking on the second floor.
