Bowed Wall Repair

Bowed Wall Repair

A&M SafeBasements can take care of your bowed foundation wall in your South Bend, Fort Wayne, Plymouth, Warsaw, Auburn, or Marion home. This is a common structural problem that is typically a result of one of the following:



Regardless of what caused your bowing wall problem, it would be best if you got the situation taken care of ASAP. If you don’t, your basement wall could eventually collapse into your home! This will cost you a fortune to repair and is also incredibly dangerous! To avoid this situation, be sure to contact our team to take care of the foundation problem before it gets worse – and it will get worse! Foundation damage is not something you can ignore. The longer you wait to get the problem taken, the longer it’s going to take to fix, and the more expensive the repair work will be!

Warning Signs Of A Problem

If you notice any of the following, you need to get in touch with us as soon as possible:

  • Noticeable leaning of a wall into the basement environment
  • Cracks appear on wall that looks like it is leaning or tilting
  • Seepage begins to get inside the home over the top of the foundation, or through the cove joint of the damaged wall (where the wall and floor meet)

Sinking Foundation

This is the most common structural problem we come across. It’s typically caused by poor soil conditions around a home or bad materials or techniques used when the home was being built. A home built in clay-rich soils will be surrounded by dirt that quickly absorbs all kinds of moisture. As the soil absorbs the moisture, it expands, creating voids underneath and around your home. Eventually, your home will begin to settle into these voids, which could cause many problems. It may look like one or more sides of your home are sinking into the earth! Also, you may notice that windows and doors aren’t opening or closing as they should, and you may have stair-like cracks on your exterior brickwork. Regardless of what caused the settlement, A&M SafeBasements can install piers from SafeBasements™ to take care of the problem. We offer both helical and push piers.

Wall And Floor Cracks

This is the most common structural problem we come across. It’s typically caused by poor soil conditions around a home or bad materials or techniques used when the home was being built. A home built in clay-rich soils will be surrounded by dirt that quickly absorbs all kinds of moisture. As the soil absorbs the moisture, it expands, creating voids underneath and around your home. Eventually, your home will begin to settle into these voids, which could cause many problems. It may look like one or more sides of your home are sinking into the earth!

Regardless of what caused the settlement, A&M SafeBasements can install piers from SafeBasements™ to take care of the problem. We offer both helical and push piers.

SafeBasements™ wall anchors differ from traditional wall anchors that take hours to install and require significant excavation. We know you don’t want your front and backyard completely ripped apart!


So, how exactly do these wall anchors work? Wall anchors are installed in stable soils surrounding your home. A wall plate is attached to the bowed wall inside your basement. The wall plate and the anchor are connected with a steel rod. The steel rod can be tightened inside your home to apply more lateral pressure to your wall to straighten it back to where it needs to be. The wall plate inside your home can be concealed, so it blends nicely with the rest of your basement.
