The Common Causes of Bowing Basement Walls
Here are a few of the reasons why your basement may be bowing:
- Tree Roots: If there are trees by your foundation, their roots may grow into their walls and put stress and tension on them.
- Hard Soil: Tough soil, such as clay soil, absorbs water and becomes dense and compact. It can expand and push into the walls.
- Heavy Rain and Snow: When rain and stormwater pool underground, they can create hydrostatic pressure that causes stress.
