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.

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

Why Does Concrete Crack & Become Uneven?
Concrete, despite its durability and strength, is not immune to the forces of nature and time. There are several reasons why concrete cracks and becomes uneven over time.
Let's delve into these causes:
- Shrinkage. As concrete dries, it naturally shrinks. If the shrinkage is uneven, it can cause cracks. This is often due to the mix of the concrete, the temperature at which it cures, or the method of curing.
- Thermal expansion and contraction. Concrete expands when it's hot and contracts when it's cold. This constant battle between expansion and contraction can lead to cracks over time, especially if the concrete is exposed to extreme temperature changes.
- Ground movement. The ground underneath the concrete can shift due to a variety of factors such as soil erosion, freeze-thaw cycles, or even seismic activity. The soil movement can cause voids beneath the concrete surface causing it to sink, crack, and become uneven.
- Excessive load. Concrete is strong, but there's a limit to how much weight it can bear. When this limit is exceeded, whether by heavy vehicles, equipment, or structures, the concrete may crack.
- Tree roots. The roots of large trees can push up through the ground, causing the concrete to crack and become uneven. Even smaller roots can affect your walkways by moving the soil and causing voids beneath the concrete which can lead to settlement and small concrete cracks.
- Water damage. Prolonged exposure to water can erode the soil underneath the concrete, causing it to sink and become uneven. This is particularly the case if proper drainage systems are not in place.

If you have uneven or cracked concrete surfaces, from sidewalks and porch steps to pool decks and driveways, the team at United Structural Systems can help repair and level the surface. Our approach to concrete leveling involves drilling small holes into the concrete before pouring polyurethane foam into the holes. The foam then expands to fill any voids present and support the slab fully.
We offer financing plans, accept major credit cards and personal checks.
