Bowing, leaning, or rotating basement walls are a common problem in homes that have a foundation built in both poured concrete and concrete blocks. These issues are normally caused by hydrostatic pressure buildup or possibly other foundation problems. If your foundation walls have started to lean into your basement or bulge, it could lead to other structural issues for your home. These problems may also cause wall cracks which can cause basement waterproofing issues. It is important for homeowners in Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Eastern Indiana to watch for signs of foundation failure, such as bowing or leaning foundation walls, or cracks in your basement walls or floors.
Having a reliable foundation wall repair professional evaluate your bowed basement wall can help properly repair any issues you have. Our professional foundation repair experts at Stay Dry Waterproofing have years of on the job knowledge helping central Ohio homeowners repair bowing or bulging walls in their basement.
