Cost-Effective Beasment Repair
Cracked or Bowing Basement Walls
If you’ve noticed cracks on your basement walls, it’s important to know that these are the early signs of bowing basement walls. Bowing basement walls present a serious risk to homeowners and should be dealt with in a timely manners. This unfortunate situation is a cause for concern because cracked or bowing basement walls can lead to serious problems, costing homeowners thousands of dollars.
- Your Walls May Collapse: Cracked or bowing basement walls don’t repair themselves, they only worsen with time, and eventually a collapse could occur. If such an event takes place, the rest of your home may collapse as well having lost its foundational support.
- Pipes May be Damaged: Even if your walls have not collapsed, cracked or bowing basement walls can affect the pipes that run alongside them. The damage your pipes will receive is unfortunately a costly repair and even worse could cause a chain reaction of different problems.
- Moisture Problems: Cracked or bowing basement walls enable water from the surrounding soil to seep into your home, and in turn to cause the problems that result from moisture. These problems include mold, damp, rot, and even flooding- all costly repairs.

Helical Tie-Backs
This foundation wall on the garage end of the house was backfilled almost to the top of the wall. The inside fill was five feet higher than the outside. This is called unbalanced fill. The pressure from the unbalanced fill caused the corner to crack and separated the wall from the house. Helical Tie-Backs were chosen to reinforce the wall. Holes were drilled at each Tie-Back location.
The lead section of the Tie-Back is like a giant screw. A powerful hydraulic motor is attached to a mini-excavator or skid loader. This machine screws the anchor into the earth in a downward angle until it is secured into a stable layer of earth. Extensions are added to the Tie-Backs as needed. Steel plates attach to the Tie-Backs and are tightened. The additional support from the Tie-Backs will permanently hold the wall.
