Common Foundation Issues in St. Louis
Several issues can occur with your foundation. These include bowed basement walls, foundation cracking, and foundation settlement. Each issue has its solution and must be repaired as soon as possible. Read below for more information on identifying these issues in your home.
Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement occurs when the soil underneath your foundation has been washed away or was improperly compacted during construction. While settlement usually takes time to manifest in your home you can begin by watching for cracks in your drywall, stairstep cracks in your brick, and hard-to-open windows or doors. These are the best indicators to look for if your foundation has settled.

Bowed walls in your basement
Bowed Basement Walls
Bowed walls are usually the easiest to identify of all basement problems. It occurs most frequently in homes with cinder block or stone foundations but is just as likely to occur in homes with a poured concrete foundation. Be sure to inspect your basement walls every year for signs of bowing. If you notice that your walls are leaning into your home contact our experts. We can help you repair and strengthen your basement walls so that bowing cannot occur again. In addition to this bowed basement walls can often cause wall cracks and foundation leaks. Keep an eye out for water and cracks in your basement.
Foundation Wall Cracks
The last sign of foundation damage on your home is cracked basement walls. This can occur on both block and poured foundations. One of the most obvious signs of wall cracks is, well, a crack in your foundation. Wall cracks are typically repaired with epoxy injection, but if the crack is large and at risk of spreading our team will also use a carbon fiber patch to repair the crack. Be sure to keep an eye out for water leaks in your basement near cracks.
Street Creep Repair
Our team at Mid America Piering also has a lot of customers approach us with concrete issues. However, most are not aware that their issue is actually caused by street creep. Street creep is often referred to as concrete creep and is the result of the movement and expansion of concrete because of thermal fluctuations throughout the year. Keep an eye on the concrete foundation around your home for signs of street creep such as bowed walls, wall cracks, and expansion joint issues. If you have questions about street creep contact our team.
