Due to extreme soil pressure surrounding basements, basement walls are often vulnerable to cracking or bowing out. Basement walls not only bear the load of the home above, but they also take on the pressure and weight of outside soils. When surrounding soils begin to expand or contract, the pressure against the basement wall increases and decreases. This pressure is extremely powerful and, as soils expand, the pressure against your basement walls can build up causing basement walls to crack, bow or bulge out of line.
Basement cracks typically only get worse with time. If begin to notice that you basement walls are bowing or have cracks, Danny Jarvis Foundation Repair offers free foundation repair estimates.
