Today’s Forecast: More Rain!

Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky have experienced heavy rains to start the year, with more to come. As rainfall continues, many homeowners are discovering flooded basements or crawl spaces and are asking:

“How is the water getting in?”

“What can we do to fix it?”

“Who can I trust to do the job right?”

The team at United Structural Systems understands the frustration that comes with water intrusion, so we’ve created the “Waterproofing 101: Homeowner’s Guide” infographic to help answer those questions.
