Our comprehensive crawl space services include encapsulation, waterproofing, structural floor support, and mold remediation, creating a healthy and secure base for your property.

The goal of sinkhole repair is to stabilize the area and prevent the sinkhole from reappearing. That means finding and eliminating the cause of the sinkhole. If water caused the sinkhole – and it usually does – then we need to get the water under control.

It is important to know what to look for when you are evaluating your home for foundation damage. Your home may be experiencing foundation problems if you identify any of these signs:
Your brick walls can be affected by foundation shifting and settlement, and your Brentwood home may be in need of foundation repairs or services. Foundation damage can cause stairstep cracks in your brick over time, so if you see these types of cracks around your home, you may have foundation issues.
Your foundation may be causing problems if your doors and windows suddenly stop opening smoothly or seem to be jammed. Your foundation shifts and cracks as a result of outside pressures, and this can cause many aspects of your home to shift.
Your foundation walls can be pushed inward by hydrostatic pressure from groundwater and soil. This pressure can crack your exterior walls as well as your interior drywall. If you are experiencing bowing or cracked walls in Brentwood, USS's foundation repairs and services will fix the issue.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.

We work with only the best products and repair methods in the industry, giving you the peace of mind that you deserve. One of the most reliable methods for our foundation repair work in Brentwood involves installing a pier system with large steel support shafts that anchor and re-stabilize foundations.
Foundation piers are used to stabilize foundations of all shapes and sizes. Often, foundations are not built on the most stable soils because they are dug out and backfilled. Over time, this leads to air pockets and settling, causing the foundation to shift and become damaged. Piers correct this by anchoring the foundation to the deeper, more compact and load-bearing soil. Attached to the structure via metal brackets, these piers evenly distribute the weight of the structure and prevent future settlement. Foundation piers are considered one of the best solutions for both new foundations and existing ones. USS also uses piers at times to repair large concrete steps and porches.
The pier system installation specialists at USS in Brentwood work with two types of piers for foundation repairs:
Helical piers consist of long steel rods that are welded to helical blades. These piers can be used to support lighter structures and prevent foundation settlement. They are mechanically screwed into the earth until they reach competent strata. This transfers weight from the structure to stable soil below.
Our steel push piers offer reliable and lasting support for heavier structures. Push piers are driven into the soil until they reach the bedrock or point of refusal. You will no longer have to worry about foundation settlement as the weight of your home is transferred into the strata.
Your home or commercial building may call for one of these pier types, and the number of piers and their arrangement depends on your property. Our team of Brentwood foundation repair experts will design the perfect pier solution for you. We are happy to provide a free on-site inspection and deliver the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home or business is structurally sound.
