A damp crawl space is an often times overlooked problem within a home. Since the crawl space is used mainly as a storage area, it is rarely used or entered by the homeowner. However, it is a very important part of a home's main structure, as often it is the only access to pipes and other substructures.

Most crawl spaces are subject to moisture problems that can lead to serious problems – both to your health and to your home. United Structural Systems of Illinois, Inc. is an excellent company to service your wet basement and foundation problems within the Hoffman Estates and Chicago area.

• Damp or wet insulation
• Condensation in the heating and air ducts
