Bowed Wall Repair in SE MI: Ann Arbor, Flint, Warren and nearby

Why should I worry about my bowing foundation?

Typical concrete bowed or poured basement wall construction can experience serious damage from excessive soil pressures. This causes tremendous lateral stress on a foundation wall. The resulting damage can appear as large cracks, buckling and even a caved-in wall. The problem does not fix itself. Corrective action should be taken promptly.

What options do I have?

Many homeowners have experienced the major inconvenience and financial setback of repairing or replacing a failed wall, only to endure the demanding process again. The wall was simply not strong enough to withstand the pressures of the soils surrounding their home. Whether the movement of your wall has been extensive or minimal, we offer you the permanent, cost effective, solution. Other methods such as carbon fiber, pilasters and i-beams do not provide any appreciable lateral resistance to soil pressures. They all rely on bracing into your floor joist system which compromises the integrity of your home.
