Bowed Wall Repair

In Iowa and Missouri due to extreme climate changes overtime many homes have bowed basement walls, especially if you own a home which was built prior to the 1950s. Often, these older homes in IA are suffering from a variety of structural problems. The bows in your basement walls, are most likely due to older methods of construction at the time when your home was built.

We fix bowed or buckling foundation walls and understand that it may be difficult to imagine how much weight or pressure the soil on the outside of your basement walls is putting on your basement walls. This pressure can cause movement on basement walls. The result of the soil pressure is what creates bowing and buckling walls.

You may be wondering why your basement walls weren't built very well. Chances are, if you have an older home, it was built by construction workers who didn't understand the amount of pressure that was going to be placed on the outside of the basement walls. Problems with the walls wouldn't begin showing up for many years later--possibly over half a century after the home's construction date.  Even with modern construction methods a builder can not predict with any degree of reliability what the exact soil conditions are in any given lot.  Clay, or plastic soil moves, especially when the soil is disturbed during the foundation installation of new construction.
