• Bowing Basement Walls

  

  Bowing walls are being pushed inward, usually by expansive soils or hydrostatic pressure. Expansive soils push against the wall due to water or frost effects. Hydrostatic pressure is when underground water applies inward force against your wall. Common symptoms of this problem include horizontal or stair step cracking along the foundation wall, diagonal cracks in the corners, inward bulges, and walls leaning in at the top or bottom. Any of these issues can severely impact the structural integrity of your foundation.

  Over time, bowing walls can lead to serious damage to the home and impact property value. We solve bowing basement walls by using foundation wall repair products such as PowerBrace™ or CarbonArmor® to stabilize failing foundation walls. With these products, we can prevent further inward movement and potentially return your wall to its original position.

• Shearing Walls

  

  You may notice the block wall "shearing" near the bottom because the concrete floor in the basement is holding the bottom row of blocks in place as the rest of the wall slides inward. Whether it's just a little or a few inches, concrete brick foundation walls that are shearing require immediate repair. Often, there will be stair-step cracking and visible water damage around the gaps shearing creates in the foundation. If soil is poorly back-filled against your foundation, or excess water and clay cause soils to expand, pressure will begin to press your foundation walls inward, which can lead to shearing.

  The solution for foundation wall shearing depends on the cause and severity of the problem. In some cases, waterproofing is needed to help relieve pressure on the wall. Basement walls can also be reinforced with steel beams or carbon fiber strips. Our experts will identify the cause of your foundation wall shearing and recommend the best solution.

• Wall Cracks

  

  Soil pressure can push in foundation walls, causing them to crack. Horizontal cracks across your basement foundation walls or stair-step cracks in a block foundation are typical signs of foundation wall issue. Oftentimes, foundation walls will crack before they bow. Cracks can also form in drywall due to a settling foundation or sagging crawl space.

  Minor wall cracks can usually be fixed with epoxy injections or concrete sealants. However, if cracks are large or there are signs of shifting soils or structural damage, a experienced contractor who specializes in foundation repair should be consulted. We offer a variety of foundation wall repair solutions to address the underlying causes of basement wall cracks. Our professionals will inspect your foundation and recommend the right solution.
