Bowing Foundation Wall Repair

Bix Basement Systems provides a wide selection of solutions to bowing foundation walls for home owners in Peoria, IL, Bloomington, IL, Quincy, IL, Fort Madison, IA, and Hannibal, MO. Bowed walls are caused by a variety of conditions. However, the most common cause of a bowed wall is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is pressure applied against your foundation wall, which results from water being in the soil around your home. This pressure presses against the foundation wall and causes it to lean, or bow, into your home. These walls look bad, and they can cause some serious problems for the structural integrity of your entire home.

Signs that you have a bowing foundation wall:

  • Horizontal or vertical cracks are forming in your foundation wall
  • Diagonal cracks are forming in corners
  • Foundation walls are bowing or leaning into your basement
  • Walls seem to be leaning in at the top, or sliding in at the bottom

Bowed Wall Repair

Wall AnchorWhen it comes to bowed wall repair, Bix Basement Systems works with strong, durable, and effective wall anchors. The wall anchors we install will be pushed deep into the soil into stable earth. These wall anchors have steel rods which will be attached to anchors which extend through the foundation wall and through wall plates. These wall plates will help to distribute clamping pressure. Overtime, nuts on the threaded ends of the steel rods can be tightened to help apply pressure to your basement walls to push them back to where they need to be.

What Causes Bowed Walls?

We get a lot of phone calls from homeowners who ask,”What causes bowed walls?” Take a look at some of the common causes listed below:

  • The type of soil around the foundation – clay soils become infiltrated with moisture very easily
  • The amount of moisture found in the dirt around your foundation walls
  • How deep your foundation is in the earth
