What Caused My Walls to Start Bowing?

More than likely, if you have a bowing wall it is because of hydrostatic pressure. When the ground outside becomes saturated with water, it starts pushing (creating pressure) against the foundation of your home and eventually will reach your basement. Over time this can cause bowing and eventually cracks in the walls.

This can be prevented with our waterproofing and drainage solutions, but in case you are past that point, find our recommended solutions below.

Safe Solutions to Fix A Bowing Wall

Carbon Fiber Straps:
Carbon fiber straps can be a good solution when the wall is bowing less than 2 inches. This solution is the least invasive and least expensive. Epoxy is used to secure and fuse these straps to the wall. The good news is that no digging outside is required because this can all be done inside the basement. 

Wall Anchors:
Steel wall anchors may be necessary if your walls are bowing more than 2 inches. This solution requires work both inside and outside of your basement. Wall anchors are not always an option depending on the location of your home but are the best solution to restore your home’s stability long-term. 

Helical Tiebacks:
This solution is definitely the most expensive option and is necessary when your property does not allow for wall anchors or carbon fiber straps because your wall is bowing more than 2 inches. Using helical tiebacks will absolutely restore the structure as steel shafts are drilled through the earth surrounding your home and onto the foundation wall.

Always consult with a professional before making a final decision on the best solution for your foundation repair needs.

This company is great to work with. I had a water issue in one room in my basement. Every single person I dealt with, from the owner, the owner’s son, the guys who came to do some of the work and the sweet girl who answered the phone went above and beyond. If you have a waterproofing issue, this is the company to call.

We had a fantastic experience with the entire Tiger C team. They are so knowledgeable, responsive, quick and thorough. The work was precise and they cleaned up really thoroughly afterwards—our yard looks nicer now than when they started. Can’t recommend them enough for any foundation waterproofing needs.
