-- With the announcement, United Structural Systems of Illinois (USS) now provides structural inspections and long-term stabilization solutions to address increasing reports of basement moisture, shifting soil, and aging concrete issues in the area. Its team uses proven foundation crack repair techniques, including epoxy injection, polyurethane sealing, and exterior waterproofing methods to fix these problems.

The contractor explains that early inspections are the key to keeping repair costs manageable. Cracks may form from concrete shrinkage, weather-driven soil changes, or simple wear over time, but wider openings, spreading cracks, or any sign of water should be evaluated before they lead to structural strain.
“Moisture and movement are a bad combination for any foundation. Early evaluation gives homeowners options before the damage becomes more serious,” said a company spokesperson.
The inspection helps determine what type of repair is needed. For structural cracks, their technicians use low-pressure epoxy injection, bonding the concrete back together so the wall regains its original strength. When the goal is to stop water entry, polyurethane injection is used instead, expanding into voids and blocking moisture. Both methods are completed from inside the home when possible, minimizing disruption and allowing most issues to be addressed in a single visit.
When a crack cannot be accessed from inside, the company performs exterior crack repair by excavating the area around the wall, preparing the surface, applying HLM 5000 waterproofing primer, and installing a bituthene membrane to keep moisture out. For more severe damage or slab-on-grade construction, steel crack plates may be installed to reinforce the wall and prevent further spreading.
United Structural Systems of Illinois works with homeowners as well as structural engineers, general contractors, real estate developers, and municipal agencies.
