Boulder Bowing & Buckling Walls

Have you noticed your basement walls in Boulder bowing or buckling? Tilting or bulging inward? It’s time to call the Boulder foundation repair experts at Van Matre Construction! This change in the walls can indicate potentially serious foundation issues and should be addressed right away. Pressure from the soil surrounding your home can exert a great deal of inward force on your basement walls, and over time they may start to bow, buckle, crack, or even collapse.

The amount of pressure exerted against your foundation depends on the type of soil, its moisture content, ambient temperatures, and the depth of your foundation. Expansive clay soils tend to take on more water during high-moisture cycles or during floods, and can push in on your basement walls. Hydrostatic pressure from moisture-rich soil is one of the biggest threats to your foundation!

Don’t leave your bowing walls unaddressed. Let our team of Boulder house foundation repair specialists take care of you. Van Matre is one of the most trusted names in the region, with years of experience in repairing distressed, bowing, and buckling walls in Boulder. Thankfully, we have the tools and the expertise to stop foundation damage in its tracks, and restore the structural stability of your home.

Foundations constructed from concrete hollow blocks (CHBs) are even more susceptible to bowing and damage, as the pressure can weaken the joints. Poured concrete foundations are also at risk from hydrostatic pressure and soil-related foundation damage. Here at Van Matre Construction, we utilize several effective methods for Boulder bowing and buckling wall repair, including wall anchors, carbon fiber strips, and more. Depending on your unique situation, we’ll recommend the best option for you!

Catching and fixing your bowing walls early can save you money and hassle in the long run. Reinforcing your basement walls will give you peace of mind knowing your foundation is secure.
