Basement Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions, including efficient drainage systems, powerful dehumidifiers, and reliable sump pumps, are designed to keep your basement dry and damage-free.
Crawl Space Repair
Our comprehensive crawl space services include encapsulation, waterproofing, structural floor support, and mold remediation, creating a healthy and secure base for your property.
Mold Treatment
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.
Sinkhole Repair
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.
Structural Repair
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

There are no shortage of ways for water to end up in your basement, especially in humid climates like the one in Murfreesboro. Water can leak in from the ground during heavy rains that saturate your soils, it can come from plumbing floods, or it can come in through leaking windows or any other unsealed portion of your basement.
Causes of Water in Basements
Before we start waterproofing, first we must understand where the water in your basement is coming from. There are many causes of water in basements, but in Murfreesboro we see a few problems crop up more often than others. The good news is we have solutions to all of the different causes of water in basements.
Inadequate drainage or improperly installed drainage systems
A lack of proper drainage around your home means the water that falls into your yard stays there, seeping down into the ground where it may not be causing unsightly puddles, but it is causing damage to your foundation. Poorly maintained gutters fit into this category as a gutter cannot do its job of capturing and redirecting water away from your home if it is not installed and maintained properly. A high concentration of water in the soil can lead to…
Hydrostatic pressure
Hydrostatic pressure is created when the soil around your foundation is so saturated with water that the force of gravity is causing the water to push hard against anything in its way – for instance, your basement walls. Water weighs a little more than 60 pounds per cubic foot, meaning saturated soil around your home could lead to thousands upon thousands of pounds of water pressure intent on making its way through your underground basement walls. The Grand Canyon stands as evidence of how determined the flow of water can be, which is why you need basement waterproofing to protect against hydrostatic pressure.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
Our Solutions for Basement Waterproofing
USS has services that solve the issues of poor drainage and hydrostatic pressure, but we go further than that. Our solutions can mend foundation and basement wall cracks, incorrect slope or grading of your yard, and condensation that can all lead to a flooded basement. We will assess your home, basement, and yard to figure out what is causing the water to infiltrate and then we will come up with the personalized basement waterproofing solution suited best to your situation, whether that is basement encapsulation or the installation of interior or exterior drainage.
Crawl space encapsulation
Don't have a basement? Unfortunately, that doesn't mean your home is immune to the risks posed by water. If you don't have a basement, you do have a crawl space and the crawl space is just as susceptible to water damage that can lead to greater problems down the road. We can seal off your crawl space with encapsulation that will create a dry and controlled environment immune to mold, rot, and water.
