Solutions for Bowing Basement Walls
If you’re noticing the walls in your basement are starting to bow or buckle, this is a very common sign of foundation issues. Any inward movement of your basement walls means that there is pressure on your foundation, which is most likely caused by shifting soils in the ground that are pushing toward your foundation walls.
All foundation walls are susceptible to lateral pressure from outside soils. This typically happens when the soils become over-saturated, either caused by too much rainfall or poor drainage in your yard, which causes the soils to expand and put more pressure on your foundation walls.
Bowing basement walls can only get worse as pressure continues to push on them, so it’s best to get this issue addressed quickly. An expert contractor from Bay Crawl Space and Foundation Repair can come out to your home to provide a free inspection to assess your home’s situation. They will provide you with the best possible recommendation on how to fix the issue and straighten your basement walls to prevent further damage to your home.
