Bowed Wall
This is a common structural problem that is caused from excessive hydrostatic pressure in the soil surrounding the home. This can occur whenever poor soil conditions exist around the foundation, and the earth swells up whenever it rains, or when there is melting snow on the property. This expansive soil puts a lot of pressure on basement walls (hydrostatic), and it will eventually prove to be too much for the wall to handle and it will begin to lean into the home. Additionally, you may notice the appearance of wall cracks next to the leaning structure.
Delaying repair work for the problem will likely only result in more bowing or leaning of the structure, or the wall could eventually collapse in on itself from the weight of the earth and the home above.

Thank you for waterproofing my basement! There is no more water coming in and I have peace of mind knowing my basement is dry. Not only did you fix it in a timely manner, but were honest and showed how much you cared. Thank you!

Basement waterproofing, leaky basement issue
This is Vincent in Chesterfield and I wanted to say “thanks” for making peace in our household. For the past 5 years I have been putting all kinds of short term bandaids on our water intrusion issue in the basement….we finally went ahead and install the drain tile and sump as your team recommended.
After all this time I finally have no worries when I hear it starting to rain. Just this past week our rain gauge showed almost 3″ in about 5 hours – not a drop of water in the basement or crawl space.
Excellent work and again thank you….
