We Guarantee Our Best — Keeping Homes Dry and Stable.
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

Not just unattractive, uneven concrete slabs can also pose a real danger. Concrete slabs that have shifted or sunk create a serious trip hazard. Uneven concrete can occur almost anywhere around the home, including your driveway, garage floor, sidewalk, pool deck, or patio. United Structural Systems can help you if you find uneven concrete in these areas. Our trusted concrete leveling experts in Columbia will restore your concrete to its original level.
The soil under your concrete is the primary culprit of this unevenness. Pockets of empty space develop under the concrete as the soil shifts, settles, or washes away. Concrete sinks and settles when it doesn't have any support. Frost heave can also be a common cause of unevenness. Frost heave occurs when the moisture content in the soil freezes. This causes the soil to expand, lifting the concrete slab up until it is no longer level.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
PolyLift is a concrete leveling technique that uses polyurethane foam to support uneven concrete. This system has minimal effect on the structural integrity of the concrete and can be installed within a few minutes.
To bring your concrete back to its original level, our team of concrete leveling experts in Columbia will drill small holes into the slab. Through these holes, we inject special polyurethane foam which expands quickly until the slab below is completely supported. PolyLift allows for a precise lift, without excavation, and the polyurethane foam contains 39 to 49% recycled material. Once this reliable level solution is installed, it cures within a matter of minutes.
