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

Shotcrete application is the pneumatic application of concrete onto a vertical or horizontal surface in order to stabilize soil or structures. It uses a wet-mix method, meaning the concrete is premixed and pumped through the hose. USS uses shotcrete application often in commercial projects as it is a great solution for adhering concrete to irregular structures and vertical walls. Common applications of shotcrete include pools, drains, and vertical cliffs on roads. We also perform gunite application, which is a dry-mix method of concrete application where concrete is applied dry but water is injected inside the hose before application.
If you are in need of earth retention systems, USS is your Murfreesboro expert at soil nailing – a type of retention system that uses anchors in a grid pattern with a reinforced shotcrete face. Most often soil nails are used for temporary construction walls or excavations for buildings, plants, or parking structures. However, soil nails have a wide variety of uses in other situations. Our experts can change the design of your soil nailed walls based on site conditions, meaning your project keeps moving at a good pace whatever challenges present themselves.
We are Murfreesboro's construction companies and engineers' number one choice for underpinning and foundation repair services. From residential projects such as the Brighton Valley Apartments or Hickory Glade Condos, to government buildings like the U.S. Post Offices of Antioch and Brentwood or the Montgomery County Municipal Buildings, USS has proven our expertise when it comes to underpinning. This method of foundation repair is similar to residential home foundation repair in that it extends the load bearing portions of the foundation into deeper, more stable bedrock. We hydraulically drive the piles into the bedrock and use them to lift your structure back into its original elevation.
We offer financing plans, accept major credit cards and personal checks.
