We’ve seen it all before, and we have a professional, proven method to repair your bowing walls.

What Causes Bowing Walls?

Hydrostatic pressure creates these types of issues. The soil around your basement walls will expand when exposed to excessive moisture, and when it freezes, it expands further. The lateral pressure exerted by these external forces pushes against your foundation walls and forces them inward. This pressure may cause your Bowling Green home to need bowing basement wall repairs. Call our expert team in Bowling Green for foundation restoration and repair services today.

The problem is, foundation walls are only designed to handle vertical loads, not pressure from the sides. They simply don’t have the structural integrity to deal with extreme pressure from expanding soil. Hydrostatic pressure is a powerful force that, left unchecked, will tilt and bow your foundation walls inward. If you ignore the problem long enough, your foundation walls could even collapse entirely.
