Bowing Basement Wall Repair in Your Area

Causes of a Bowing Wall

The most common cause of a bowing wall -- also called a leaning wall -- is excessive lateral pressure on the exterior. That can be caused by a buildup of water, soil, or other foundation-related issues. But this is the bottom line: when the pressure becomes too much for the wall to handle, it starts to bow, crack, or even break. That is why you should contact the foundation repair experts from My Foundation Repair Pros to determine if you need some basement waterproofing, concrete leveling, or moisture control services to fix the problem.

Concerns About a Bowing Wall in the Basement

A bowing wall in your basement is a sign that the wall is too weak to protect the property from soil erosion and other foundation-related issues that could be impacting the situation. Some of the most common causes of bowing walls include accumulated pressure from water and soil as a result of minor/major earthquakes or shifting foundations.

Often, you will see wall flooring cracks in a basement with bowing walls. When you do, it is time to summon the IICRC-certified technicians from My Foundation Repair Pros to stop the bowing, bending, and bulging. For years, our crews have set the industry standard for foundation repair services.
