A local church in Oak Ridge, Tennessee was experiencing significant settlement of its slab foundation, resulting in uneven concrete surfaces and visible signs of structural movement throughout the building. While some foundation settlement can occur naturally over time, excessive movement can lead to cracked concrete, uneven floors, and gaps where walls begin to separate from floors or ceilings. Beyond the structural concerns, these conditions can also create potential safety hazards for building occupants and visitors.
After a detailed inspection, the experts at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair developed a comprehensive repair plan to address both the symptoms and the underlying cause of the settlement. To restore the affected concrete surfaces, our team utilized PolyLyft™ concrete lifting to raise and level uneven sections of the slab. To address the source of the problem, helical piers were installed beneath the foundation to stabilize the structure and help prevent additional settlement in the future. By combining foundation stabilization with concrete lifting, the church received a long-term solution designed to improve safety, restore functionality, and provide lasting structural support for years to come.
