Before & After Photos

A Johnson City, TN homeowner became concerned about damage he observed on an exterior wall, particularly after heavy rain. He noticed some irregularities around the external walls. Our team examined the structure and verified that the foundation was experiencing settlement. Consequently, we implemented our push pier system to reposition and secure the residence.

This driveway in Castlewood, VA was sinking, leading to deep cracks and other irregularities that presented tripping risks. To fix it, our team drilled strategic holes along the slab, then injected each with PolyLyft. This product expands and rises beneath concrete, raising the slab to its original position. 

In Castlewood, VA, a home experienced foundation sinking, prominently evidenced by one of its window frames. This issue often occurs when the ground beneath shifts or erodes over time. To address this, the Master Services crew installed helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground nearby. Strategically drilling holes and installing three helical piers at key points achieved the desired stabilization. These devices, connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, guaranteeing the house remains secure for years to come.

The Master Services team recently tackled a serious bowed foundation wall issue in Castlewood, VA. The basement, which doubled as a parking area, showed a large horizontal crack and significant efflorescence. Over time, the wall had cracked due to excessive moisture in the surrounding soil, prompting the homeowner to seek a reliable solution for reinforcing their garage walls.

Our approach involved installing I-Beam Wall Braces, which stabilize the wall by anchoring into the sturdier soil outside. By reinforcing the overall structure, this method ensures that the newly secured basement-garage area remains safe and reliable for years to come.

In Bristol, VA, a concerned homeowner named Sarah reached out to Master Services after noticing large cracks forming around a window frame and a widening gap in her basement. Worried about the structural integrity of her home, she wanted answers. Our home inspector arrived promptly and discovered that the foundation had been compromised due to soil settling, which was caused by fluctuating moisture levels. The intense summer heat had caused the clay beneath the concrete slab to contract, resulting in one side of the house sinking—a common issue in the region.

Understanding Sarah’s concerns, we explained that if left unchecked, the settling could lead to more severe damage. To address the issue, we recommended installing two Helical piers under a corner of the structure to provide additional support and prevent further movement. Sarah appreciated the quick response and clear explanation of the solution.

Once the job was completed, Sarah was relieved to see the cracks close up, a visible sign that her home was now secure. With the foundation stabilized, she felt reassured, knowing her home was safe and future problems had been prevented.
