A homeowner in Kodak, TN, contacted Master Services after spotting stair-step cracks forming at the corner near the main entrance of his red brick house. Concerned about potential structural issues, he scheduled an appointment with one of our home inspectors. During the inspection, it was determined that soil settling, caused by fluctuating moisture levels and extreme temperature changes, was the main culprit.
We recommended installing two helical piers beneath the affected corner of the house. These piers reach stable soil deep underground to provide solid support, while minimizing disruption to the soil around the home. Once the installation was complete, the trenches were backfilled and leveled, restoring the area to its original state. The homeowner felt relieved to see the cracks close and had peace of mind knowing his home was now safe and secure for the years ahead.
A homeowner in Tazewell, TN was worried about a section of their foundation settling and observed damage on the main floor as well as other anomalies in the area. Our inspection by Master Services concluded that the foundation required extra support. To resolve the problem, we suggested the use of our "Push Pier" system, which aims to permanently stabilize and even out the foundation.
A homeowner in Rutledge, TN contacted Master Services with concerns about a visible "ladder crack" on the exterior wall. Upon evaluating the foundation's condition, our team determined that the cracks were caused by soil subsidence. If left unaddressed, this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house. To prevent further damage, we recommended the installation of helical piers, specifically designed to provide significant reinforcement for the foundation, especially in the local clay terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only restored the homeowner's confidence but also guaranteed long-term stability and security for their property.
