Why Are My Basement Walls
Leaning And Bowing?

When it comes to repairing leaning & bowing walls, it's essential to understand their cause. At Kefficient, we're here to help. Below are some of the most common reasons why your walls are damaged:

Hydrostatic Pressure

The leading cause of a leaning & bowing wall is hydrostatic pressure. This is essentially the interaction of water and soil around your foundation. The more water builds up – the more pressure it puts on your foundation, causing damage.

Sinking & Settling Foundation

Another common cause for a leaning & bowing wall is a sinking and settling foundation. This is essentially the soil underneath or around your home, giving way over time, causing your foundation to shift and manifest itself in bowing and cracked walls.

Poor Drainage

Foundation issues don't happen overnight; it takes years of constant abuse for problems to appear. For many homes, poor drainage causes water to build up and manifest in foundation damage (hydrostatic pressure.)

Wood Rot

For older homes, wood rot can be a culprit for foundation damage. When combined with high humidity & moisture, wood tends to become infected with rot. This weakens the vital supports that frame your basement, causing leans and bows.
