How Foundation Walls Are Damaged
Your foundation walls help support the weight of your entire home. But over time, weather, soil conditions, and other factors can weaken your foundation and cause it to break down.
The most common cause of a damaged foundation wall that is bowing or leaning is excessive pressure from the exterior of the wall. When the pressure becomes too much for the wall to handle, it starts to bow, crack, or even break.
Factors that cause foundation wall damage include:
- Clay soils that expand and contract as the moisture in the ground increases and decreases.
- Hydrostatic pressure, which is an accumulation of water in the soil surrounding the foundation wall, that exerts pressure against the wall.
- Frost in the soil next to the wall, which can apply pressure to the wall.
- These pressures can cause your basement walls to bow or break.
- Damaged foundation walls are ugly and dangerous, and can allow water and debris to enter your home. If not repaired, these damaged foundation walls could eventually collapse.
