If you notice cracks in your basement walls, slab floor cracks, mold and mildew smells, water stains, or your walls are leaning in or out then you have a water problem. Water in the yard can lead to water inside the home as it is transferred from the outside of a building structure to the interior using the path of least resistance. Meaning, water will find the cracks within a foundation or absorb through a porous concrete. Stopping the water from collecting from around a home or business can be done with our exterior waterproofing systems.

Do you have a problem with water seepage or water entering your basement or crawl space when it rains? If you're looking for basement waterproofing contractors, United Structural Systems of Illinois offers basement waterproofing services throughout the Chicago area. United Structural Systems has been providing basement waterproofing solutions in Chicago since 1995. If you have a problem of water entering your basement through cracks in the basement floor or water entering the basement at the cove joint (Cove: where the floor slab and foundation wall meet) the waterproofing solution needed is the installation of a new sub-floor drain tile system.

Foundation cracks are a common problem and occur in almost all poured concrete structures. Cracks may be caused by stress or soil settlement along the footing of the structure. Seepage occurs when water levels in the soil rise and cause hydrostatic pressure on the foundation. The water finds an outlet into the basement or crawlspace through the crack. As soon as you notice a crack in your basement or crawlspace, call a concrete repair expert. If not addressed professionally, the cracks can typically grow larger resulting in a greater opportunity for more water seepage and damage to your home or the possibility of structural damage.

We offer a range of solutions for your residential and commercial properties. Some of the areas we specialize in include, foundation repair, mudjacking, steel piers, helical anchors, helical piles, micropiles, tiebacks, soil nails, waterproofing, concrete repair, chimney repair and vapor barriers.
