United Structural Systems (USS)
Keeping Homes Dry and Stable. We Guarantee Our Best!
We address various foundation-related issues with precision. Our services include stabilizing sloping floors, sealing foundation cracks, and correcting foundation settlements.
Our waterproofing solutions, including efficient drainage systems, powerful dehumidifiers, and reliable sump pumps, are designed to keep your basement dry and damage-free.
Our comprehensive crawl space services include encapsulation, waterproofing, structural floor support, and mold remediation, creating a healthy and secure base for your property.
Mold and mildew thrive in the damp, humid conditions found in crawl spaces. The best way to prevent microbial growth is to encapsulate the crawl space with a vapor barrier and install a dehumidifier.
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.
Moisture accumulation, pest infestation, and soil settling can compromise the stability of your home which can lead to damaged beams or joists and uneven floor support. USS is known for having the best structural repair contractors — Contact Us

When you imagine a sinkhole, how large do you think it can be? Small enough to trip over or large enough to swallow an entire house? Both options are real hazards that can form in Tennessee. Thankfully, the experts at United Structural Systems are able to repair any size sinkhole, so that you don't need to worry about how big it could be.
To understand sinkholes, you must imagine a large rock under your soil. Groundwater slowly erodes that rock as the water moves around it. That rock may eventually dissolve completely.
When this happens, a large empty space or void is left behind. This means that the soil, which was once above the rock, no longer has any support. The soil will eventually collapse to fill in the space below. This is called a sinkhole. Our team offers sinkhole repair services to Brentwood, call us for a sinkhole inspection and cost quote.
The majority of Tennessee's land is made up of dolostone and limestone bedrock, both easily dissolvable by water. Sinkhole formation becomes a major problem due to heavy rainfall followed by droughts. Incorrect grading could allow water to seep into the subgrade. Sinkholes can also form from water leakage in the karst area.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
You should first look out for signs that sinkholes could be occurring on your property. A sinkhole could be developing if you notice new or unusual depressions in your yard, ground cracks, or tilting trees and fence posts.
You might already have a sinkhole if your foundation suddenly cracks or there are obvious holes in the ground.
First, we excavate the area where the sinkhole enters the rock. The next step is to close the sinkhole's “throat” using proportionally sized stones. Finally, we line the excavation with non-governmental geotextile fabric. The sinkhole repair services from our Brentwood team can help restore your home and property.
Next, we backfill with #57 gravel, to within a few feet of the surface. The geotextile fabric is then folded over the gravel, and we backfill with previously excavated soil. We also consider managing and redirecting any water sources in the area.
This method is known as inverted cone filter repair.
