Warning signs of a bowed basement wall

A foundation wall under pressure slowly leans in time and isn’t noticeable until it’s obvious to the naked eye. You’ll know you have a bowing wall if you encounter any of the following circumstances in your basement or crawl space:

  • Wall leaning at the top
  • Horizontal or stair step cracking
  • Inward bowingand buckling
  • Walls sliding in at the bottom

We deliver foundation and crawl space fixes for homes and commercial structures throughout northeast Ohio. For more than 20 years, customers have relied on us for friendly, reliable, and low-cost contractor services.

Repair services for faulty foundations

Stabilizing a foundation halts inward or outward leaning and restores the strength of the walls. We use the following modern methods to repair basement walls:

  • Steel braces
  • Carbon fiber
  • Foundation anchors

Only in rare instances will a wall have to be rebuilt completely from scratch. That option is expensive and requires major excavation of soil around the base of the structure. Alternative procedures, fortunately, are oftentimes adequate for permanent stabilization.

With our free evaluations we’ll outline the best options for your home or business foundation.

Causes of buckling walls

Ever wonder what has caused your foundation to lean in or out.

The following factors can cause bowing and buckling:

  • Heavy, water-logged soil from poor drainage, and runoff from gutters and downspouts
  • Pressure from nearby tree roots
  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Expanding and contracting soil that pushes and pulls foundation walls
