The home in Sevierville, TN, faced stability issues with its crawlspace. The wood posts and concrete columns were no longer effectively supporting the sagging floors of the home. The high moisture levels in the crawlspace were dampening the wood beams, exacerbating the sinking floors. Master Services stepped in to provide a solution by implementing our trusted SmartJacks system, effectively stabilizing the home.
This home in Pigeon Forge, TN had a concrete slab that may have shifted due to soil erosion, excessive moisture, or drought. Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair drilled holes along the slab, then injected each with our high-density PolyLyft. The polyurethane expanded, raising the slab and fixing the irregularity.
Recently, the Master Services team made their way to a charming home in Sevierville, TN, located on a steep incline, to assess a structural wall that had been impacted. The reason for the damage appeared to be due to hydrostatic pressure from the exterior. The team, in order to repair the issue, utilized their wall plate anchor system which uses the surrounding soil's stability to prevent further damage and secure the walls.
Master Services efficiently waterproofed a residential basement in Sevierville, TN. This small basement had a vulnerability to water infiltration, which posed a potential risk of property damage. In response to this issue, our team implemented a vapor barrier that covered the entire wall space. This simple yet effective solution not only decluttered the basement but also enhanced the overall air quality of the house.
When this Sevierville homeowner noticed significant cracking and separation in their exterior concrete walkway, they contacted Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for a professional evaluation. The slab had settled over time due to shifting and eroding soils beneath the surface, creating a visible crack and uneven sections that not only affected the appearance of the home but also posed a potential trip hazard. In East Tennessee, changing moisture conditions and soil movement commonly cause exterior concrete to sink or crack when the ground beneath it loses its ability to properly support the slab.
To restore the walkway without the disruption of full replacement, our expert team utilized our PolyLYFT™ concrete leveling system. This advanced polyurethane injection solution is designed to lift and stabilize settled concrete by filling voids beneath the slab and expanding to raise it back toward its original position. PolyLYFT™ is lightweight, durable, and cures quickly, allowing the concrete to be used again in a short period of time. By addressing the unstable soil conditions below, this system provides long term stabilization while avoiding the cost and mess of tearing out and repouring the concrete.
After lifting and stabilizing the slab, we sealed the visible crack using NexusPro® Joint and Crack Sealant. NexusPro® is specifically designed to remain flexible, allowing it to expand and contract with temperature changes while preventing water intrusion. Sealing cracks is an important step in protecting concrete surfaces, as water penetration can accelerate soil washout and lead to further settlement over time.
The result is a safer, more uniform walkway that enhances both the appearance and structural stability of the home’s exterior. At Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, our team specializes in permanent concrete repair solutions that restore safety, improve curb appeal, and protect your investment from the ground up.
