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
Sunken, tilted, or cracked concrete detracts from your property’s appearance and presents safety hazards. Our concrete lifting services address these issues head-on, restoring the functionality and safety of your concrete structures.
A brick veneer that’s crumbling or cracking is often a signal of foundation issues that will need to be repaired first. Once the underlying problem has been fixed, our brick repair experts will ensure your facade is good as new again.
Because so many of the gorgeous homes in Murfreesboro feature brick facades, USS has become an expert at brick and mortar work. If you have cracked bricks it can be a signal of bigger problems with your foundation or water penetration into your walls.
If you do have cracked bricks, first we will assess whether or not it is being caused by larger foundation problems that would need to be addressed before the brick repair is undertaken. As the brick facade is an aesthetic element of your home rather than a structural one, if we were to neglect the underlying issue causing the bricks to crack they will only become damaged again. Once we restore the integrity of your home's structure to 100%, we will begin tuckpointing your bricks.
Tuckpointing is the process by which we chisel out existing mortar and add new cement between your bricks. If necessary, during tuckpointing is when damaged or cracked bricks are removed and replaced with undamaged bricks. New bricks and mortar restores the aesthetics of your brick facade and protects your home from the weather. At USS, tuckpointing is not a standalone service – we will only perform tuckpointing with foundation repair services so that we can ensure the problem is actually being solved rather than covered up.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
The lintel is the horizontal support across any door or window. The lintel above your garage door is the most vulnerable to damage due to the fact that it is most often going to be the longest lintel in your home with the most weight to support. If you have cracked bricks or exterior walls around your garage door, have our experts evaluate your need for lintel repair. To learn more about these services, click here.
