WHY DO FOUNDATION WALLS BOW INWARD?

A foundation wall should ideally stand perpendicular to the floor, but various factors can cause it to bulge inward toward the basement. This bowing effect will likely happen over time and may not be noticeable right away. Bowed walls can occur because of the following:

• Freezing temperatures - As the moisture in the soil freezes, this causes an expansion, which adds pressure to the foundation.
• Hydrostatic pressure - Excess water in the soil can cause immense pressure against the foundation walls and cause them to bow inward.

Our team can help identify the cause of your bowed walls and recommend our CarbonArmor® foundation repair system in Knoxville which will prevent future damage.
