For decades, USS has worked with property management companies, realtors, home buyers, home sellers, and structural engineering companies in Lake County and provided them with the foundation inspections, repairs, waterproofing services, and general industry insight they need to accomplish their goals.

Property managers, board members, and maintenance professionals can turn to our project managers to:

  • Attend board meetings to provide information, answer questions, and discuss upcoming projects
  • Forecast and budget for long-term projects
  • Guide you through capital expenditure projects


USS is always available to help you with foundation or waterproofing issues. We offer a variety of residential and commercial foundation services including the installation of helical piles, resistance piles, and helical tieback anchors, as well as foundation crack repairs, basement or crawlspace waterproofing, and more.

Realtors and buyers in Lake Forest can call us after a licensed home inspector has completed their work and noted structural foundation concerns or waterproofing issues. Our team can inspect the property and provide you with a detailed report explaining the problems and specific costs for repairs.

Conversely, we can also provide an honest evaluation for people selling their homes. We’ll inspect the foundation for any damage or waterproofing issues and generate a report with specific repair costs included. This will allow you to make the necessary repairs before listing your home.

Structural engineers can draw on the knowledge of our project managers to get answers to questions on the installation side of your project. We can work with you on installation procedures, setup, and even provide product specifications from our manufacturers.

We often work alongside engineers working on structural foundation repairs or new construction helical piers. An installer’s perspective can often make a world of difference.
