Our team traveled to Elizabethton, TN to assess and strengthen a settling home. As a result of shifting soils and moisture concerns, many homes gradually settle, leading to issues like cracks, jammed doors and windows, and other structural problems. To prevent further deterioration, our team installed helical piers, focusing on supporting a specific column. This system offers reinforcement to weakened foundations by anchoring them to stable surrounding soils.
A veteran in Elizabethton, TN noticed unsettling dips in his kitchen floor that caused windows to stick and created an uneven surface throughout the space. Having had the crawl space fully encapsulated by our company last year, the homeowner was already familiar with the quality and reliability of our work. When the new issues arose, the homeowner decided to reach out to us again to complete the necessary repairs, confident in our ability to address any concerns effectively.
Our home inspector responded promptly, conducting a thorough assessment of the crawl space to determine the root causes of the floor irregularities. It was clear that additional reinforcements were needed to ensure the long-term stability of the house floor.
Based on our comprehensive evaluation our skilled crew installed two rows of adjustable SmartJacks at key locations beneath the kitchen floor. These robust jacks were meticulously placed to reinforce weakened beams and restore the floor to an even level. By the end of the project, the homeowner was extremely pleased with the results, grateful to have a stable and smooth basement floor once more, and reassured by the lasting protection provided.
Master Services recently responded promptly to address concerns with a front porch in Abingdon, VA. Our highly skilled team quickly identified cracks and sinking in the front porch, a common issue due to soil settling. Fortunately, we efficiently resolved the problem using two helical piers. These devices connect the cement footing to the solid ground under the house via steel brackets. Their unique shape is designed to grip the clay-rich soil effectively.
The Master Services team recently visited a charming home in Abingdon, VA, owned by Sarah, a passionate DIY enthusiast and homeowner. Sarah had been working on various home improvement projects when she noticed alarming cracks forming along one of her crawlspace walls. Concerned about the potential risks and knowing the area’s susceptibility to heavy rains, she decided to call in the experts to address the issue.
Our team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil was causing the wall to weaken. To fix the problem, we installed five of our dependable wall plate anchors. This innovative solution utilizes the surrounding stable soil to reinforce and stabilize the wall, preventing further damage and ensuring the home’s safety.
Sarah was impressed by the team’s professionalism and how smoothly the process went. Seeing her wall secured gave her peace of mind, and she expressed her gratitude for the excellent service provided by Master Services.
