With the friendly atmosphere, hospitable people, and abundance of things to do, Kendall County definitely makes a name for itself! There's always something to do in Kendall County, whether it's hanging at the parks and recreational facilities, or taking a night out and going to dinner and a movie!
Whatever the occasion, be it a party, grill-out, family gathering, or the kids are having a bunch of friends over, you need your house to be in tip-top shape. But when your home is exhibiting signs of foundation problems or basement troubles, that can bring some worry and concern to a homeowner like you. That's why we're here! We're dedicated to giving you a quality, professional job, while remaining friendly and helpful. The signs that your home might have foundation troubles: cracked walls, doors and windows that stick or are out of place, and sloping floors. To fix these problems, we have a ton of solutions, including: helical piles, steel push piers, soil nails, helical tiebacks, mudjacking, wall bracing, micropiles, and waterproofing.
While we're on the topic of waterproofing, why don't we discuss what can happen if your home isn't waterproofed? Well, your basement walls can crack, and even start to leak. Your floor can crack, leaving a big, dangerous line or crevice in the middle of your floor, or your basement can actually be flooded.
All of the above are not very fun, so especially if you live in an area that tends to be moist (and even if you don't), waterproofing is essential. To waterproof your basement, we have drainage systems, which transfer the excess water from your foundation or basement (which can get into your basement through those cracks) and transfers it someplace where it can be dealt with...away from your home! The reason waterproofing is so important beyond the obvious is because water promotes mold and mildew growth in your basement, and since almost 50% of the air that you breathe in your home comes from the basement, you could be breathing in that mold and mildew, which can present threats to your health!
There's nothing we can't fix, so don't be shy! Call us 847-607-1202 or come on down to United Structural Systems of Illinois!
