Commercial buildings in Illinois often face foundation challenges caused by the region's expansive clay soils and fluctuating moisture levels. When a structure begins to settle unevenly, property owners may notice cracking walls, sticking doors, sloping floors, or gaps forming between walls and ceilings. These issues tend to worsen over time if left unaddressed and buildings undergoing renovations or adding a second story also require additional foundation support to handle increased loads safely.
Helical piles installed by United Structural Systems work by transferring structural loads through unstable soil layers to reach stable ground beneath. The screw-shaped steel shafts are mechanically driven into the earth until they anchor into load-bearing soil or bedrock. Once installed, they connect to a building's foundation through brackets, providing support that can halt settling and, in some cases, lift structures back toward their original position.
United Structural Systems specializes in helical pile solutions for commercial properties where traditional foundation repair methods would disrupt daily operations. Their helical piles are installed with minimal vibration and noise, making them ideal for occupied buildings such as hospitals, schools, and retail facilities where business continuity is critical. The company’s installation process also requires significantly less excavation than conventional deep foundation methods.
"Every commercial project starts with understanding what the building needs," a company spokesperson explained. "We look at the existing foundation, the soil conditions, and what loads the structure will carry and from there, we design a helical pile system that matches those specific requirements."
The company has so far completed commercial helical pile projects for notable clients including Amazon facilities, Fox Valley Mall, and the University of Illinois. These installations have supported renovations, building additions, and new construction on challenging soil conditions common throughout the Chicago region.
The company's commercial division handles projects ranging from industrial warehouse stabilization to retail building support. Helical piles can also serve as anchors for retaining walls or provide uplift resistance for structures subject to wind or hydrostatic forces.
Founded in 1979, United Structural Systems operates from its Hoffman Estates headquarters and extends commercial services throughout central and southern Illinois. The company also offers residential helical pile installation for homeowners facing similar foundation challenges.
