How Do I Know If I Have a Bowed Wall?
- Stair step cracks – Floor cracks or foundation wall cracks are signs of a buckling foundation, no matter the size.
- Tipping inward – A wall should stand straight. If your wall is leaning inward, your home’s stability is degrading.
- Horizontal shearing – If you look at the bottom of your wall, you may notice there is a “shifting” where bottom areas are jutting out further than the top areas.
- Horizontal or vertical cracks – Cracks running across or upwards on your walls or floors are clear signs of instability.
Why Are My Walls Bowed and Buckling?
- Firstly, soil expansion may apply pressure on your basement walls. This pressure causes leaning, bowing, and buckling.
- Secondly, water damage may erode your floor joists and wooden support systems. This erosion causes your walls to have to support more weight.
- Lastly, water damage may also cause bulging and buckling of the basement walls.
Unfortunately, a bowing basement wall is an indication of an unstable home. Your basement walls provide your home’s strength and stability to keep your family safe. Furthermore, your walls are designed to withstand pressure. However, time affects everything, and even your foundation walls need minor repair over time.
