Cook County's a great place to be, mostly because there's always something to do. There's shopping and dining for the girls, sports and nature walks for the guys. There's movies, recreational facilities, and above all, great people! Cook County definitely is the place to be! When it comes to foundation repair and basement waterproofing in Cook County Illinois USS has you covered for all your home problems.
If you think you have foundation problems, make sure by using these common symptoms to make sure: cracked walls, doors and windows that are sticking, windows and doors that are out of place or dislodged, and sloping floors (yeah, that last one's a little hard to catch...). If you do have foundation problems, come on down to us! We have a ton of solutions, including: helical piles, steel push piers, soil nails, helical tiebacks, mudjacking, wall bracing, micropiles, and waterproofing. Speaking of waterproofing, what if your basement has cracks in it? Are the cracks leaking? Are your walls bowing? Is your basement actually covered in water? All of these point to one thing: you need your basement waterproofed.
Waterproofing may not seem like a big deal, but since almost half of the air you breathe in your home comes from the basement, it is a big deal. Why? Well, that water can bring mold and mildew, so that makes it a bit of a health hazard. Your health and safety is our top priority, so especially if you live in an area where moisture is common (and even if you don't), waterproofing is essential. How do you waterproof? Well, you can install a drainage system, which will take the excess water from the basement and foundation and transfer it somewhere where it won't cause any problems.
There's nothing we can't fix! If you have foundation problems or need your basement waterproofed, come on down or give us a call here at United Structural Systems of Illinois!
