Bowing Wall Repair in Baltimore and Surrounding Areas
Basements add a tremendous amount of extra living space to a home and provide a year-round comfortable living area. However, basements are susceptible to problems due to their location below the home. One common problem is bowing or flexing walls, which can be a sign of more significant problems to come if left untreated. Accurate Builders of the Chesapeake has proven solutions to fix this problem and save homeowners from costly repairs in the future.
Causes of bowing walls
If a region has suffered from flooding or extreme rainfall recently, the buildup of water in the soil can create a tremendous force called hydrostatic pressure. Basement walls are designed to support the downward force created by a house, not the lateral force exerted by saturated soils surrounding the home’s exterior. The basement walls can buckle, bow, and flex as pressure builds.
Repairing Restores Structural Integrity
Bowed, flexed, or buckled basement walls are a severe problem and should be evaluated by a professional. If left untreated, the structural integrity of a home may be compromised due to insufficient vertical support of basement walls, putting the residents at risk.
