What causes it

Why foundation walls bow

Bowing walls are a soil-pressure problem. Heavy clay expands with water and freeze-thaw pushes on the wall until it bends inward.

Caught in time, a wall can be stabilised in place without tearing it out.

What we look for at the inspection

  • 1 How far the wall has moved
  • 2 Horizontal and stair-step cracking
  • 3 Water and drainage against the wall
  • 4 Soil pressure and grading outside
  • 5 Whether carbon fibre or anchors fit best

Answers to what homeowners ask most

Bowing Wall Repair questions

Is a bowing wall an emergency? +
A slight, stable bow can be monitored. A wall that is bulging, moving, or letting water in should be looked at right away.
Can it be fixed without rebuilding? +
Usually yes. Carbon fibre or wall anchors stabilise the wall in place. Full rebuilds are rare.
How much does it cost? +
Carbon fibre typically runs a few thousand dollars per wall. We give a fixed price after the inspection.
