Clarksville Foundation Repair Company

USS has been trusted across Middle Tennessee and Southern and Western Kentucky for the last 25 years to secure foundations, waterproof basements and crawl spaces, and level concrete. Due to the nature of the soil and geography of Clarksville and surrounding Montgomery County, many of the fine homes here are in need of foundation repair services to stabilize them now and into the future. Most often these homes are going to rely on piering systems in order to reach the deep, stable bedrock in a region filled with caves and sinkholes.

Foundation Repair

Because the bedrock in the Clarksville area lies far underground, many foundation repair projects require extra-long piers — the point of resistance can be as deep as 60 feet in some areas of the city. Piers installed in different parts of the same foundation can even require dramatically different depths to reach bedrock since the area is also subject to underground caves and sinkholes. When restoring foundations with piers, it’s important to ground them properly and to use enough of them to truly support the structure. Visit our Foundation Repair page to learn more about foundation repair methods and costs.

Piering Systems

USS is your area expert when it comes to piering systems for you foundation. The best types of foundation piers for foundation repair depends upon the soil and your unique foundation needs. As we touched on previously, in Clarksville the ground is riddled with sinkholes and caves that can cause serious problems for your home’s foundation if they are not taken into account. A deep piering system will reach the stable bedrock needed to ensure your foundation is secure.

Steel piers are a quicker, less intrusive method of foundation repair.

Helical piers are great for new construction and as a repair method for light-loaded areas specifically, such as structures with vinyl siding. Helical piers are incredibly versatile.

With USS, you’ll always know you are getting the best and most permanent waterproofing solutions for your basement.

Concrete Leveling & Concrete Repair

If you have been ignoring the unsightly cracks and unevenness of your concrete because you figure the only way to fix it is a full replacement, think again! Not only do uneven, cracked concrete sidewalks, slabs, and patios create an eyesore, they present a danger to those who use them and a liability to you as the owner. USS has several ways of approaching concrete leveling and concrete repair and just as with our foundation repair work, we will give you a free evaluation to determine the best way of moving forward on your concrete repair. To learn more about the causes of sinking concrete and how we level uneven concrete, visit our Concrete Leveling page.

Brick & Lintel Repair

Because so many of the gorgeous homes in Clarksville feature brick facades, USS has become an expert at brick and mortar work. If you do have cracked bricks, first we will assess whether or not it is being caused by larger foundation problems that would need to be addressed before the brick repair is undertaken. Once that is fixed, we can get into tuckpointing, because we know that just patching over will leave your home vulnerable. The lintel, which is the horizontal support across any door or window, above your garage door is the most vulnerable to damage due to the fact that it is most often going to be the longest lintel in your home with the most weight to support. If you have cracked bricks or exterior walls around your garage door, have our experts evaluate your need for lintel repair. To learn more about these services, click here.
