In most cases, bowing or leaning basement walls are caused by the varying moisture content in the soil around the foundation. When there is an excessive amount of rain or other precipitation, the soil around your foundation tends to absorb more water than usual, increasing the hydrostatic pressure. If this pressure becomes too large, it will push against the foundation walls, causing them to bow or lean inward. This pressure can also cause the foundation to settle and can lead to wall rotation as well. When this happens, it is important to have the problem fixed as soon as possible.

Leaning, Bowing, & Rotating Wall Solutions

The solution for bowed or leaning foundation walls is installing helical tiebacks. These are helical anchors that are screwed into the ground adjacent to the affected wall. They are installed through a small hole that is drilled on the inside of the wall and is later repaired and filled. Once the tiebacks are screwed into the ground, they provide the opposite lateral pressure needed to straighten and support the bowing wall. Because this process requires no exterior evacuation, it is a simple, yet effective solution to your foundation problems.
