Frequently Asked Questions
What causes basement walls to bow or crack?
Basement walls typically bow or crack due to external pressure from soil expansion, water intrusion, or shifting foundations, often made worse by Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
How can I tell if my basement wall needs repair?
Signs include visible cracks, bowing, water seepage, and dampness in the basement. These symptoms indicate possible structural issues needing immediate attention to prevent further damage.
What repair options are available for bowed basement walls?
Each basement will be different, but it’s common to fix a bowed wall from the exterior by removing the cause of the excess pressure, repairing that wall, and restoring the terrain around your home.
Why does my basement wall leak during heavy rains?
Water pressure builds up around the foundation during heavy rainfalls, seeping through cracks or porous areas in basement walls, especially in Michigan’s clay-rich soil.
How long does a typical basement wall repair last?
We provide a 20 year warranty on our work because repairing a basement the right way should be a lasting solution. Proper drainage outside the home will help with the longevity of the repair.
Will basement wall repair prevent future water issues?
Yes, repairs combined with waterproofing can help prevent future water intrusion, though it’s also essential to address external factors like drainage and grading.
Is it possible to repair basement wall cracks without excavation?
Many cracks can be repaired with interior solutions without digging around the foundation. However there is typically an exterior factor leading to the crack which should be resolved for a lasting solution.
How much does basement wall repair typically cost?
Costs vary based on the severity of the issue and repair method. Interior systems can be more cost effective. Structural reinforcements like wall anchors or I-beams are more costly but provide greater stability.
Are basement wall repairs covered by homeowners insurance?
Generally, insurance does not cover gradual damage caused by wear and tear. However, sudden damage from events like storms may be partially covered depending on your policy.
What steps can I take to prevent future basement wall problems?
Preventative steps include improving exterior drainage, maintaining gutters, grading the surrounding soil, and installing proper waterproofing systems.
