As a homeowner in Kane County, Illinois, you are aware of the fact that the winter months can be harsh and the spring and summer can be rainy and also dry. With this kind of changing weather, the soil beneath your foundation is also constantly changing. The soil in Kane Kane County is expansive soil which means that is will heave when there is a lot of moisture and shrink when it is dry. This constant shifting of the soil beneath your foundation also means that the foundation of your home is also moving and shifting. This causes structural damage to your home which will keep getting worse as time goes on. Knowing the signs of foundation failure is important.
If you see any of these signs of foundation failure, contact the professionals at United Structural Systems of Illinois. We have the products and experience to get your foundation repaired and back to its normal level again. Foundation repair is much more cost effective than replacing the foundation.
We use underpinning such as steel piers and helical piers that are installed deep into the ground through the unstable soil until they reach a solid rock or soil bed. Then the entire structure is hydraulically lifted onto these piers to level and stabilize the structure. This will keep your home stable for years to come.
Water in your home can cause many problems. Not only will it cause you to lose living area, and may ruin some personal possessions, it can also be a good place for mold and mildew to thrive. This can cause many health issues for you and your family. The experts at United Structural Systems of Illinois can help keep your basement dry.
Part of our waterproofing includes a battery backup sump pump. When a thunderstorm knocks out your power, the batter backup sump pump will take over so that you won't have to worry about water entering the basement.
