FAQ Quick Links

Do I need to move out while the work is going on?

No. We do not ask you to leave your home, and actually encourage you to be present while work is being completed.

My wall is falling in. Is this a basement repair emergency?

Although all walls are different, we have seen very few “emergencies.” A wall that is bowed needs addressed sooner than later, but the amount of bow determines the timetable for repair. We have seen walls bowed in 7” that were still standing, but it is not advisable to wait that long to call for basement repair.

It is advisable to contact a basement repair expert as soon as the movement is noticed. If caught early, you can avoid an expensive basement repair with some maintenance.

My basement doesn’t leak, why do I have bowing basement walls?

A bowing basement wall can exist without a basement leak being present. The walls can be pushed in by expansive soil. This soil, when excess moisture is present, creates the pressure that moves basement walls. Just because the basement is dry, does not mean that there is not excessive moisture in the soil.

A bowing basement wall can also be caused by roots, freeze pressure, excessive vibration, and many other factors. It is important to understand the cause of your bowing basement wall. This allows a repair method to be designed for the specific cause.

Some walls can bow due to a previous basement leak repair! The photo below is the results of bow due to incorrect backfilling procedures by another contractor.
