United Structural Systems (USS)
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

Trustworthy foundation repair professionals are needed if your foundation is damaged. United Structural Systems can provide you with a team of foundation specialists that are experienced and qualified to do the job right.
It's only half the battle to know if your foundation is damaged. The most common symptoms of a home experiencing foundation damage are:
Cracks in Brick: When your foundation shifts and settles, it can affect the structure of your whole home including your brick walls. Your brick may develop stair-step cracks over time due to foundation damage, so if you're seeing these types of cracks, foundation damage could be to blame and it's probably best to seek foundation repair services for your Columbia home.
Sticking Doors and Windows: There may be something wrong with your foundation if your doors and windows stop opening easily or feel jammed. Due to external pressures, your foundation can shift and crack, which will cause issues within the entire structure including door and window frames.
Cracks in Drywall: Hydrostatic pressure is caused by a combination of groundwater and soil, and it can cause foundation walls to move inward. This pressure can cause cracks both in your exterior walls and interior drywall.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
Our foundation services in Columbia consist of industry-proven foundation products to quickly and efficiently repair your foundation.
Helical Piers: Helical piers can be described as long steel rods that have been welded to helical-shaped blades. These piers support lighter structures and prevent foundation settling. They are mechanically inserted into the earth until reaching competent strata. Through these piers, the structure transfers its weight to the soil below.
Steel Push Piers: Our steel push piers can support heavier structures and provide long-lasting, reliable support. Push piers go deep into the ground until they reach the point of refusal or until hitting bedrock. Once the weight has been transferred to the strata below the home, foundation settlement becomes a problem of the past.
