foundation repair - bowing walls
What Are Bowing Walls?
Bowed walls can mean problems for your home in NJ. That’s why our team of experts at American Basement is proud to offer bowed wall repair. Bowed foundation walls are a structural issue commonly found in buildings with basements or crawl spaces. These walls, typically made of concrete or masonry, develop a noticeable inward curve or bulge. The bowing occurs due to various factors, including hydrostatic pressure, poor construction techniques, expansive soil, frost heave, or insufficient reinforcement.
When the soil surrounding a foundation becomes saturated with water, it exerts pressure against the basement walls. Over time, this hydrostatic pressure can cause the walls to bow or buckle inward. Additionally, expansive soil, which expands and contracts with changes in moisture content, can push against the foundation walls and contribute to their bowing.
Bowed foundation walls pose a significant structural risk because they weaken the overall stability of the building. If left untreated, they can continue to deteriorate, leading to further structural damage, water leakage, and potential collapse.
It’s important to consult with a qualified foundation repair specialist at American Basement to assess the severity of the bowing and determine the most suitable repair method for your specific situation. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure the stability of the building.

Our Wall Crack Repair Solutions
Wall cracks are among the most common problems found in basements and crawl spaces across the Nj area. Sadly, some homeowners believe that they don’t need to fix a crack since their basement is not finished, and they don’t spend much time down there. Unfortunately, choosing to neglect the problem will most likely lead to bigger, more costly issues. We offer a variety of wall crack repair solutions that are designed to prevent cracks from spreading while completely sealing the existing crack to prevent leaks.
Interior Crack Repair
Depending on the size of the crack in your wall, an epoxy or polyurethane resin can be injected from the interior of the home, penetrating all the way through the entire wall and permanently sealing the entire crack. Not only will it stop water from continuing to enter your basement, but it will also help to bind the concrete wall back together and prevent further erosion of the crack.
Exterior Crack Repair
If your basement is finished or you prefer to have the repair completed from the outside of your home, we will excavate the area surrounding the crack and seal it with a multi-layer, waterproof membrane that will permanently stop the water penetration.
