A homeowner in Maryville, TN, contacted Master Services due to concerns about multiple cracks that had appeared around their window frames. Upon inspection, our team determined that the root cause of these cracks was the sinking of the fireplace, which was constructed using heavy stones. This issue, if left unaddressed, had the potential to compromise the structural stability of the entire house.
To prevent further damage and stabilize the fireplace, we recommended the installation of helical piers. This solution was ideal, especially given the sandy soil prevalent in the local area. Helical piers are specifically designed to substantially reinforce the foundation and ensure long-term stability by anchoring the cement footing underneath the fireplace to the compacted soil beneath the house.
