Are the Basement Walls Bowing at Your Menasha, WI, Home?

Have you noticed that your basement walls are beginning to bow inward? If so, the culprit may be soil expansion. When it rains, the soil around your home absorbs the water and begins to swell, placing pressure on your basement walls. Then, after a few days of dry weather, the soil dries out and returns to its normal size. This same process repeats every time it rains, weakening your basement walls over time. Eventually, the soil expansion following a rainstorm will force your weakened basement walls to begin bowing inward to accommodate for the extra volume. Fortunately, homeowners in Menasha, Wisconsin, and surrounding areas can turn to the foundation repair experts at ABT Foundation Solutions, Inc., for help with bowing basement walls.

The Importance of Acting Quickly

If you’ve noticed that your basement walls are bowing inward, you need to address the problem as soon as possible. Bowed walls can’t support the weight of your home, and this lack of support can lead to cracked interior walls and ceilings, sloped floors, and sticking doors and windows. Plus, if you don’t do anything to address the problem, continuing soil expansion could cause your basement walls to crack and let in water, which could in turn lead to mold growth.
