United Structural Systems of Illinois, is expanding its waterproofing and basement repair services in Naperville and beyond. The company offers foundation crack repair, repair for bowing basement walls, interior drain tile systems, exterior drainage solutions, and crawl space encapsulation to combat water intrusion.

Hoffman Estates, United States, November 29, 2025 -- The recent service expansion from United Structural Systems of Illinois addresses growing demand for basement repair and protection services in the northeastern part of the state.

Illinois homes face heightened risk due to heavy rainfall, clay-rich soil, and shifting foundations that create pathways for water seepage, explains the company. Approximately 98% of basements in the United States will experience some form of water damage during their lifespan, according to industry data, making preventive measures necessary rather than optional. This damage often occurs when hydrostatic pressure forces moisture into below-grade spaces, where it compromises structural integrity and indoor spaces.

This untreated moisture creates immediate health hazards, since mold begins growing within 24 to 48 hours of water intrusion. When mold spores circulate through living areas, they trigger respiratory issues and aggravate asthma.

To prevent these issues, United Structural Systems' four-fold water protection system starts with identifying places where seepage enters through cracks and applying expert sealing techniques. Technicians assess structural openings that allow water to penetrate basement walls, then create lasting barriers against intrusion. This foundational defense forms the first layer in a multi-layer approach.

Next, exterior drainage installations are added to intercept water before it reaches foundation walls. These systems redirect surface runoff and groundwater away from the house, reducing the hydrostatic pressure that forces moisture through concrete. When combined with interior solutions, exterior drainage creates a barrier that addresses water intrusion from multiple angles.

Interior drain tile systems complement the foundation repairs by capturing water that enters through floor cracks or the cove joint where walls meet floors. Any moisture that's collected is channeled into a sump pit equipped with a pump that diverts water away from the home. By managing interior water accumulation, homeowners can prevent indoor water pooling and reduce humidity levels that contribute to mold growth and structural breakdown.

Finally, crawl space encapsulation rounds out the service expansion by sealing vulnerable areas beneath homes with vapor barriers. The process protects wooden floor joists from moisture damage while preventing mold, odors, and insect infiltration. Encapsulation improves indoor air quality by eliminating damp conditions that allow contaminants to spread into living spaces, helping protect health.
