Yes! A house that has had foundation repair, especially using USS lifetime warrantied steel push piers, is almost always stronger than it was when it was first built. For those homes still in need of repair, we frequently offer repair plans to Buyers and Sellers, who schedule repairs shortly after closing.
Once you obtain permission and we hear directly from the Seller/Current Homeowner, we may release this information to you as the acting Agent.
Yes. USS lifetime warranties remain with the home and/or structure and are therefore transferable once a property is sold. We keep all warranty documentation on file, should the new homeowner ever need us or our services.
USS understands time is of the essence when it comes to real estate. We will work with you to schedule your repairs around closing, as well as do our best to meet any Buyer/Seller requirements of the real estate transaction.
Yes! USS accepts payments from Escrow accounts and will work with you and the details of your closing.
We utilize a fast-acting polyurethane foam to perform concrete repairs. Concrete leveled with our PolyLift system can be walked on immediately once the repair has been completed. You can drive on your driveway after just 30 minutes.
Our preferred method for concrete repair is very fast. The length of time for the entire repair process will vary depending upon how much concrete needs to be repaired. The cure time for our patented PolyLift system is almost immediate.
The cost of your concrete repair will vary depending upon how much concrete needs to be lifted and how severe the damage is. The best way to find out the cost is to contact us for a free estimate on our services. We can let you know what solutions will be best and how much it is going to cost.
Your average hardware store is going to have a lot of different epoxies and other options for DIY concrete crack repair. However, these methods fail to address the underlying cause of your damaged concrete and instead are mostly just giving you a cosmetic repair without warranty.
We do not use mudjacking to level concrete. We believe it is an outdated method that doesn’t permanently keep concrete lifted. We use a special polyurethane foam that is much lighter than mudjacking.

It is actually very rare for tree roots to cause any damage to your concrete, but in the rare case that it does happen, there are options. You can always cut the roots, though this could kill your tree if not done carefully by an experienced professional. Root barriers can be installed once the offending roots have been removed. You can also remove the entire tree. Once the root of the problem has been addressed and if the concrete is not beyond repair, it may be lifted to remove the trip hazards and potentially close any cracks.
Concrete appointments are straightforward. An experienced Project Manager will discuss the issues with you before they take a look at the affected concrete. They will assess the extent of the damage and determine a course of action that fits your needs and your budget.
The PolyLift system we use for concrete repair is a permanent solution for concrete lifting, unlike the more outdated mudjacking option that some companies still use. The unique polyurethane foam we use to lift concrete back to an optimal level is water resistant and very lightweight, meaning it won’t wash out and it won’t sink the way heavy concrete slurry does.
We fully stand behind our work with transferable lifetime warranties that remain with the property. We guarantee all of our interior drainage systems and foundation wall repairs with our no-hassle, transferable guarantee. Call us for more information on our warranties for concrete lifting and other services!

"Robert Elam with USS is a wealth of knowledge and an incredible asset to all professionals that need this level of expertise in their corner. He just taught a class for us and all attendees were Very impressed, including me. (after 40 years in the industry)"
"I want to express my thanks to you for providing lunch and speaking to our Keller Williams IGNITE class today. Clearly, USS could be a tremendous help in getting to the closing table. I would definitely give you a call for any type of foundation repair.
“When I need a professional to review the foundation, they are who I use....”
“Easy to communicate with and very friendly to work with. Highly recommend them.”
“They gave us thorough and understandable results in their reporting. We ended up not needing their services, but appreciated their professionalism.”
“As a home inspector, I greatly appreciate the quality of work and professionalism that I see from United Structural Systems. This is a top-notch company that stands behind their work. It is easy for me to recommend to my clients facing potentially costly repairs a company that will provide the best service and the best quality on the market.”
"I almost always can tell, when I get inside a crawl space or basement, the scope of repair work performed and oftentimes I am dismayed. However, USS has serviced many foundations and structures in my market and I have never, to date, come across a structure documented as being serviced by USS that was deficient in repairs performed, nor in site management. Repairs of this nature are not inexpensive. Consumers need to know what they are paying for and need a guarantee for work performed. From what homeowners have told me, and from what I have seen in my decade-plus tenure, USS is a solid choice for quality."
“Through Home Inspectors of Tennessee Association, I have had the pleasure of getting to know United Structural Systems through not only their exceptional level of performance when it comes to all things structural in the residential home market, but also, the level of knowledge that they expect and receive from the professionals they employ. They have presented continuing education to our organization several times through the years and I have never failed to gain a good bit of practical, useful knowledge, as it applies to my profession as a home inspector.”
"Clients that have been directed to USS through members of our organization have had nothing but the highest praise for the skill, professionalism and fair pricing they receive. I would recommend USS any day to a client of mine knowing that their performance will do nothing but reflect well on me as the referring party."
“USS has saved me a lot of time and money. They are honest and fast.”
