Many Chicago homeowners experience rain in their basements. Most view it as a fact of life—when it rains, the basement floods. But water doesn’t only have the potential to harm the belongings you keep in your basement—it can pool under the foundation and at the bottom of walls, causing the foundation to crack or buckle. Standing water is also the perfect environment for hazardous mold and mildew growth.
If you own a home in Chicago and experience water in your basement or crawlspace, it may be time to have a basement drain installed. Interior drainage systems are a key step in keeping water off of your foundation. United Structural Systems is available for basement drainage installation in the Chicago area. We have a commitment to providing you with efficient, effective basement repair services designed to keep your home dry and healthy.

Basements are often the first place where water damage occurs in a home. Water can seep in through cracks in the foundation or walls, condense on cold surfaces, or even enter through gaps around pipes or windows. As a result, basement drainage systems are essential to any home’s plumbing.

Do you have a leaky basement or water stains on your walls? If left untreated, a wet basement can cause leaning walls, foundation wall cracks, water damage, and even the growth of mold and mildew. The following are common problems that can be fixed with a basement drainage system.
One of our most effective basement waterproofing solutions is our interior basement drainage system. Sometimes referred to as a basement perimeter drain, interior drainage systems work by stopping water at the point where it enters the structure—the wall-floor joint. Our basement drains run around the perimeter of your basement floor (hence the term perimeter drain) to collect excess water from the bottom of your basement walls. This water is then directed towards a sump pump which discharges the water out and away from your home. The system installs quickly with no need to excavate your lawn or landscaping.
Our expert installers use only the best products to make sure your interior drainage system will function properly for years to come. At United Structural Systems, we have a commitment to customer service. Your home is one of your most valuable investments, and we’ll help to protect it. We are your interior waterproofing and basement repair team in the Chicagoland area and Suburbs.
No basement drainage system is complete without a sump pump—that’s why all of our basement waterproofing solutions consist of heavy-duty sump pumps. Sump pumps are installed into a sump pit, which is a hole in the basement floor. It collects accumulating water in the basement. As water runs through the sump pit, the sump pump expels the water out of the pit and away from the foundation.
