What is a Bowed Wall?

A bowed wall occurs when your basement or foundation wall starts to lean, bulge, or curve inward. This usually happens. because of hydrostatic pressure – the force of water-saturated soil pushing against your foundation after heavy rainfall or snowmelt. In contrast, extended dry conditions can cause soil to shrink and pull away from the foundation, removing critical support and leading to cracks or shifts. 

Whether it’s wet or dry, soil movement puts stress on your foundation walls – and if left unaddressed, a bowed basement wall can lead to structural failure.

Fix the Bow Before it Blows

Ignoring bowed walls is risky. If the bowing worsens, it can: 

  • Compromise the safety and integrity of your home
  • Lead to a full foundation wall collapse
  • Cause expensive damage to other parts of your house.

The good news: BDB has been fixing bowed walls since 1999. Our experienced team will assess the damage and provide permanent, proven solutions.

Bowed Wall Repair with Wall Anchors

One of the most effective methods for bowed wall repair is the installation of wall anchors. These anchors stabilize and straighten foundation walls by counteracting the external soil pressure. 

Features of Our Wall Anchor System:

  • Made from durable, galvanized materials to resist rust and corrosion
  • Low-profile interior wall plates that can be easily concealed or painted
  • Designed to halt further movement and gradually restore walls to their original position
