What Causes Bowed or Leaning Basement Walls in St. Louis?
When your basement walls are bowing, buckling, or leaning inward it is likely caused by one issue. This issue is Hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure refers to the forces exerted on your basement walls by the soil and water that surrounds your home. When it rains heavily the soil around your home becomes saturated with water, usually caused by poor yard drainage. This water adds weight to the soil and forces pressure on the walls of your basement. Over time this pressure can cause the walls to crack and buckle inward weakening the structure of your home and potentially causing basement water leaks.
