Bowed Walls

A home is usually the biggest investment a person or family makes - not to mention the value of the possessions contained within it. A cave-in can cause irreparable damage to the house and contents making it important to secure, stabilize and correct deteriorating basement walls -- before it's too late.

Bowed, cracked or leaning basement walls in Colorado are a sign that something is going very wrong with the structural integrity of your property. This issue happens when hydrostatic pressure from too much water building up against the walls, or the soil that is around your property swells and exerts pressure that forces the foundation wall inward.

Traditionally, Colorado homeowners have had few choices for repairing foundation walls, with none of them being entirely satisfactory.  Installing steel I-beams vertically against the bowing wall is one of the oldest repair methods, but it takes up valuable basement space, places additional stress on existing lumber framing, and does not provide a means for straightening the bowed wall.  More recently, carbon fiber technology has become available and provides some space saving advantages, but is not appropriate for older stone foundations, and still does not offer a means of straightening a damaged wall.  Excavating around the wall and building a new basement wall is a possibility, but it is terribly expensive, time consuming, and destrctive to landscaping.
