Addressing Bowing Basement Walls at Homes in Appleton, WI

Are the basement walls bowing inward at your Appleton, Wisconsin, home? If so, you’ll want to address the problem as soon as possible. Bowing walls can quickly develop cracks that let water into your basement. Plus, bowing walls signal an unstable foundation, which can cause cracked interior walls and ceilings, sloped floors, and loose or sticking windows and doors. Fortunately, area homeowners can turn to the experts at ABT Foundation Solutions, Inc. We’re a foundation repair company that’s been trusted by local homeowners since 2002, and we can address bowing basement walls using wall anchors or various other techniques.

What Causes Basement Walls to Bow?

One of the most common causes of bowing basement walls is soil expansion. When soil gets wet, it tends to expand. Then, once it dries out again, it contracts. When this repeatedly happens to the soil surrounding your home, the resulting expansion and contraction can place enormous pressure on your basement walls, causing them to weaken over time. Eventually, the expanding soil will cause your basement walls to bow inward and crack.
