Repair Services
Foundation Repair
We address various foundation-related issues with precision. Our services include stabilizing sloping floors, sealing foundation cracks, and correcting foundation settlements.
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

Foundation Crack Repair & Slab Leveling Services Throughout the Murfreesboro Area
Homes in the ‘Boro are an eclectic mix of new construction and elegant older homes and – thanks to the mix of soils from the Highland Rim, surrounding farmland, and the river nearby – they are all susceptible to some kind of foundation damage. Many of the older homes in the city center around MTSU, while extremely well-built, are still sitting on foundations that have weathered decades of seasonal moisture changes that weaken surrounding soils and leave them unable to support the weight of the home, instead transferring that weight directly to your foundation walls. And newer development on both sides of I-24 has been constructed on farmland, thereby leaving them susceptible to foundation cracks and water penetration due to the imminent changes that occur in farmland soil.

Signs of Foundation Damage
There are a variety of ways your home shows you it is suffering from foundation damage that needs attention. Normal foundation settlement happens in all homes and is generally imperceptible. If you start to notice symptoms it is a sign that your home has gone beyond the normal amount of settlement and is undergoing foundation problems.
Standing water in crawl spaces and basements
While there are many ways water can end up in your crawl space or basement, such as plumbing floods, if you know your pipes are solid chances are the water is coming in through cracks or fissures in your foundation.
Sticking doors and windows that stick
Normal settlement of a foundation does not cause your doors and windows to stop functioning the way they did when new. If your doors aren't closing properly or your windows don't want to open or close with the ease you're used to, chances are there is some foundation damage that needs addressed.
Cracks and other wall blemishes
Has a crack appeared in your painted wall? What about bulges or bubbles underneath your wallpaper? None of this is normal and it all points to the need for an evaluation of your foundation so we can find the foundation repair solutions for you.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
Preventative Measures for Foundation Damage
While foundation repair is necessary in some cases, there are preventative measures you can take to minimize the risk of damage to your home's foundation. By being proactive and addressing potential issues early on, you can save yourself time, money, and stress in the long run.
Here are some preventative measures to consider:
- Ensure proper drainage around your home to prevent water from pooling near the foundation.
- Maintain a consistent moisture level in the soil around your foundation to prevent excessive expansion and contraction.
- Regularly inspect your home for signs of foundation damage, such as cracks, uneven floors, or sticking doors and windows.
- Address any plumbing leaks promptly to prevent water from seeping into the foundation.
By taking these preventative measures, you can help protect your home's foundation and avoid costly repairs in the future. If you have any concerns about the stability of your foundation, don't hesitate to contact our team at United Structural Systems for a professional assessment.
