Basement Walls Are Bowing or Bulging
Understanding Why Basement Walls Bow or Buldge
Bowing walls are the result of excessive hydrostatic pressure, which occurs when saturated soil exerts thousands of pounds of force against your foundation.
Common causes include:
- Poor Drainage: Clogged gutters, short downspouts, or grading that directs water toward your home.
- Expansive Soils: Clay-rich soil expands when wet, pushing against basement walls.
- Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Seasonal freezing causes soil to swell and shift, worsening pressure over time.
Without proper intervention, the walls will continue to move inward — leading to water intrusion, mold growth, and compromised structural integrity. In severe cases, this can result in complete foundation failure and costly repairs if left unaddressed.
